who have already submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For
Papers"
should IGNORE
this announcement. (Those who have been notified that their papers have been
accepted, MUST still follow the instructions that were emailed to them;
including meeting the deadlines mentioned in the notifications that were sent
to them).
INVITATION:
You are invited
to submit a "Late Breaking Paper", "Position Paper", or
"Abstract/Poster Paper" for consideration. All accepted papers will
be published in printed conference books/proceedings (ISBN) and will also be
made available online. Like prior years, extended versions of selected papers
(about 35%) will appear in journals and edited research books (publishers
include: Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others). In addition to the above, we
have arranged two new book series; one with Elsevier publishers (Transactions on
Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers

SUBMISSION OF
LATE BREAKING PAPERS, POSITION PAPERS, ABSTRACTS/POSTERS:
In response to
this announcement, authors are given the opportunity to submit their papers for
evaluation in one of the following three categories:
1. Late Breaking Papers: describe
late-breaking/recent developments in
the field. The maximum number of pages is
7. Please write the following
on the first page of your submission
"ICAI: LATE BREAKING PAPER".
If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the
opportunity to present the paper in a
formal session.
2. Position Papers: enable discussions on
emerging topics without the
experimentation normally present in an
academic paper. Commonly,
such papers will substantiate the
opinions or positions put forward
with evidence from an extensive objective
discussion of the topic.
The maximum number of pages is 4. Please
write the following on the
first page of your submission "ICAI:
POSITION PAPER".
If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 4 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the
opportunity to present the paper in a
discussion/poster session.
3. Abstract/Poster Papers: describe research
roadmaps (similar to PhD
plan or PhD prospectus). The maximum
number of pages is 2. Please
write the following on the first page of
your submission
"ICAI: ABSTRACT/POSTER PAPER".
If accepted, The length of the
final/Camera-Ready paper will be limited
to 2 (two-column IEEE style) pages and
the author will be given the
opportunity to present the paper in a
discussion/poster session.
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers (see above for paper categories) by
uploading them to the evaluation web site at:
Submissions must
be uploaded by June 2, 2013 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats. All
reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
The first page
of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal
address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify
the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would
best represent the content of the paper.
Each paper will
be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance,
clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a
member of the conference program committee would be charged to make the final
decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from
additional referees. Papers whose authors include a member of the conference
program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process.
(Papers deemed to be philosophical, essay type, or about controversial
topics/applications will not be refereed but may be considered for
discussion/panels/presentation).
The proceedings
will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available
online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that
track citation frequency/data for each published paper. Science citation
databases include: relevant Elsevier indexing products (SCI Elsevier products
include, among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others); Inspec / IET / The Institute
for Engineering & Technology; The French National Center for Scientific
Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable from INIST, Datastar,
Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others.
Note that
authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their
papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the
conference proceedings which will go to press soon after the conference (the
conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed
proceedings/books to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference
proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of
sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book.
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series; one with Elsevier publishers
(Transactions on Computer Science and Applied Computing) and another with
Springer publishers (Transactions of Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence). After the conference, a significant number of authors of
accepted papers of our congress, will be given the opportunity to submit the
extended version of their papers for publication consideration in these books.
We anticipate having between 10 to 20 books a year in each of these book series
projects. Each book in each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer
science indexing products (which includes: Scopus, Ei village, SCI, ...).
GENERAL
INFORMATION:
ICAI is an
international conference that serves researchers, scholars, professionals,
students, and academicians who are looking to both foster working relationships
and gain access to the latest research results.
It is being held
jointly (same location and dates) with a number of other research conferences;
namely, The 2013 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
Applied Computing. The Congress is the largest annual gathering of researchers
in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate
to have 2,100 or more attendees from over 85 countries.
The 2013
Congress will be composed of research presentations, keynote lectures, invited
presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and poster presentations. In
recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers have included: Prof. David A.
Patterson (pioneer, architecture, U. of California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric
Drexler (known as Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as
Father of Genetic Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as
Father of Grid Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy
(pioneer, VR, U.
of California,
Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab, MIT), Dr. Jim
Gettys (known as X-man, developer of X Window System, xhost; OLPC), Prof. John
Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford U.), Prof. Brian D.
Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer,
U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz (NSF Program Director and

An important
mission of the Congress is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse
community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers,
educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out
to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities,
institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs)
from all over the world. The Congress also attempts to connect participants
from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are
affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The
Congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity
objectives."
One main goal of
the Congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences,
workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers
in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied
computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and
inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased
opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.
