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 (with unique
international
ISBN number) and will also be made available online. The
proceedings will
be imprinted by the American Council on Science and
Education, and
distributed/published by CSREA (Computer Science Research,
Education, and
Applications Press). The books will be processed for
indexation in
science databases, including EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one
of the largest
subject index systems, and all other EBSCO affiliated
science
indexation databases. ACM Digital Library is also including the
titles into its
databases as well as ProQuest indexing databases and
others. In
addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected
papers (about
40%) of the conference will appear in journals and edited
research books;
publishers include, Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others.
Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer
science indexing
products (which includes: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com;
SCI Compendex,
Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com;
and others). See
the web link below for a small subset of such
publications:
(some of these books and journal special issues have
already received
the top 25% downloads in their respective fields and/or
identified as
"Highly Accessed" by publishers and/or science citation
index trackers.)
