Many prospective authors have commented that they have just returned to work from their academic break (midterm and spring) and so they wish to be allowed to submit their papers to the conference. To accommodate for those who missed the original deadlines, we have decided to extend the paper submission deadline to March 23, 2009.
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to inform our colleagues in the Far East (a frequently asked question from China, Taiwan, Korea, ...)
that the conference proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography, and others.

I would be most grateful if you would share this announcement with those who may be interested. The paper submission deadline is extended to March 23, 2009. Thank you.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:    Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers by    uploading them to http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/ .    Submissions must be received by March 23, 2009 and they must be in    either MS doc or pdf formats (about 5 to 7 pages - 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 papers for    publication.)

   The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited    to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously    published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The    first page of the draft 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. Finally, the name of the conference that    the paper is being submitted to must be stated on the first page.

   Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity,    impact, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two experts    in the field who are independent of the conference program committee.

   The referees' evaluations will then be reviewed by two members of    the program committee who will recommend a decision to the chair.    The chair will make the final decision. Lastly, the Camera-Ready    papers will be reviewed by one member of the program committee.

IMPORTANT DATES:    March 23, 2009: Extended deadline for Submission of papers

                      (about 5 to 7 pages)

PURPOSE / HISTORY:    SERP'09 is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a    number of other research conferences (WORLDCOMP'09). WORLDCOMP    is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science,    computer engineering and applied computing.

   The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research    topics into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at

   a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for exchange of    ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The model used    facilitates communication among researchers from all over the world    in different fields of computer science, computer engineering and    applied computing. Both inward research and outward research will    be covered during SERP'09.

   SERP'09 and WORLDCOMP'09 will be composed of research presentations,

   keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions,

   and poster presentations. In recent past, keynote and/or tutorial    speakers included: Prof. David A. Patterson (U. of California, Berkeley);

   Prof. Michael J. Flynn (Stanford U.); Prof. John H. Holland (U. of    Michigan, Ann Arbor); Prof. H. J. Siegel (Colorado State U.); Prof. Barry

   Vercoe (MIT); Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (U. of California, Berkeley); Prof. Jun

   Liu (Harvard U.); Dr. Jim Gettys (OLPC + developer of X Window); and many

   other distinguished speakers. For this year's conference, the keynote

   speakers include: Prof. Ian Foster (Father of Grid Computing),    Dr. Eric Drexler (Father of Nanotechnology), Prof. Brian Athey
(Head,

   NIH National Center for Computational Medicine & Biology), Dr. Jose Munoz

   (Deputy Director, National Science Foundation Office of Cyberinfrastructure),

   and many other distinguished speakers.

LOCATION OF CONFERENCES:    The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas,    Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is    a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000    rooms. It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle    service to and from the airport.
