The
proceedings/books of this conference have been evaluated and approved for
inclusion into science citation index / SCI databases. We are happy to report
that the evaluation board of science citation index databases have APPROVED the
indexing, integrating, and inclusion of the ICAI proceedings into relevant
Elsevier indexing databases (Elsevier indexing databases include, among others:
Scopus, www.info.scopus.com;
SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; and others). In addition, the proceedings
will also be indexed by a number of other science citation databases that track
citation frequency/data for each paper.
INVITATION:
You are invited
to submit a full 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 (Transactions of Computational Science and Computational

MEASURABLE
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of March 14,
2013, papers published in Congress proceedings that ICAI is part of, have
received 27,591 citations (includes 3,342 self-citations). Citation data
obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ .
SUBMISSION OF
REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them to the evaluation
web site at: http://world-comp.org .
Submissions must
be uploaded by April 20, 2013 and must be in either MS doc or pdf formats
(about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and references - single space,
font size of 10 to 12). 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. The name of the conference (ie, ICAI)
must also be stated on the first page of the paper as well as a 100 to 150-word
abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be
limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages.
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.
The printed
proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference
- online/soft versions will also be made available world-wide.
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, ...).
SUBMISSION OF
POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same instructions that appear
above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except for the submission is limited
to 2 pages. On the first page, the author should state that "This paper is
being submitted as a poster". Poster papers (if accepted) will be
published if and only the author of the accepted paper wishes to do so.
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 (WORLDCOMP). 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

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.
