July 25-28, 2016: The 22nd International Conference on Parallel and

(PDPTA\’16; Las Vegas, USA). All affiliated federated

conferences will be held simultaneously; same location

and dates.

http://worldcomp.org/events/2016/conferences/pdpta2016/index_html

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION: ( http://world-comp.org )

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 the due date (see IMPORTANT DATES) and must be in either

MS doc or pdf formats (7 pages for Regular Research Papers; 4 pages for

Short Research Papers; 2 pages for Extended Abstract/Poster Papers – the

number of pages include all figures, tables, and references). 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; these formatting instructions

appear at the submission web site and they conform to the two-column IEEE

style format). Papers must not have been previously published or currently

submitted for publication elsewhere.

The first page of the paper should include the followings:

– Title of the paper

– Name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author

(identify the name of the Contact Author)

– Abstract (between 100 and 120 words)

– A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work

described in the paper

– Write the type of the submission as \”Regular Research Paper\”,

\”Short Research Paper\”, or \”Extended Abstract/Poster Paper\”.

– The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space

permitting).

Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site

portal.

Type of Submissions/Papers:

– Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):

Regular Research Papers should provide detail original research

contributions. They must report new research results that represent

a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for

the results and conclusions should also be provided. The work

presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity

that with some additional work can be published as journal papers.

– Short Research Papers (maximum of 4 pages):

Short Research Papers report on ongoing research projects. They should

provide overall research methodologies with some results. The work

presented in short papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity

that with some additional work can be published as regular papers.

– Extended Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):

Poster papers report on ongoing research projects that are still in

their infancy (i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to provide

research methodologies without yet concrete results.

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. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but

may be considered for discussion/panels).

The proceedings will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will

also be made available online. The printed proceedings/books will be

available for distribution on site at the conference. The proceedings will be

indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for

each published paper. The proceedings/books of the congress have been

evaluated and approved for inclusion into major science citation index

databases. In addition, the proceedings are approved for inclusion into

EBSCO, one of the largest subject index systems. ACM Digital Library is also

including the titles into its database as well as ProQuest indexing database

and others.

In addition to the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple

books in each 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 (the process may take 12 to 18 months), 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 and 15 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, SCI Compendex, Engineering Village, EMBASE, and others).

For a recent and a very small subset of the books (and journal special

issues) that have been published mostly based on the extended versions of

the federated congress papers, see the link and titles below:
