IMPORTANT NOTE:
This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the
opportunity to submit their
papers in response to earlier "Call For
Papers". Therefore, authors 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 45%) 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 (Emerging
Trends in 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. Each book in each series
will be subject to
Elsevier and Springer science indexing products (which
includes: Scopus,
Ei village, SCI, ...).

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 4, 2014 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.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.
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 2014 World Congress in Computer
Science, Computer
Engineering, and Applied Computing. The Congress is among
the top five largest
annual gathering of researchers in computer science,
computer engineering and
applied computing. We anticipate to have attendees from
about 85
countries/territories.
The 2014 Congress will be composed of research
presentations, keynote lectures,
invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and
poster presentations.

conferences' atmosphere, see some delegates photos
available at:
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.
