PURPOSE / HISTORY:    SERP'10 Conference is being held jointly (same location and dates)    with a number of other research conferences (WORLDCOMP).    WORLDCOMP is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer

   science, computer engineering and applied computing. We anticipate    to have 2,000 or more attendees from over 85 countries participating

   at WORLDCOMP Congress. A number of individual research tracks of    the Congress have been held for many years; for example, PDPTA has    been held annually since 1995 (PDPTA'10 is the 16th annual    conference); ERSA has been held annually since 2001 (ERSA'10 is the    10th annual conference); ICAI has been held annually since 1999
(ICAI'10 is the 12th annual conference); SERP has been held
   annually since 2002 (SERP'10 is the 9th annual conference). Other    tracks of WORLDCOMP Congress have similar records.

   The motivation behind this federated congress is to assemble    a spectrum of affiliated research conferences 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 to form    SERP facilitates communication among researchers from all    over the world in different fields of computer science,    computer engineering, and applied computing. Both inward research
(core areas) and outward research (multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary,
    and applications) will be covered during the    conference. SERP 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.

   SERP'10 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 (as part of the federated event):    Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer/computer 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 and    Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard U.),    Anousheh Ansari (CEO, Prodea Systems & first female private    space explorer), and many other distinguished speakers. To get    a feeling about the events' atmosphere, see the 2009 delegates    photos available at:

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS, PUBLICATION, INDEXING INFORMATION:    Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by    uploading them to the evaluation web site at:    http://worldcomp.cviog.uga.edu/
   Submissions must be uploaded by March 21, 2010 and they must    be in either MS doc (but not docx) 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 final papers.)

   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 (ie. SERP)    must be stated on the first page.

   Full 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 one member of the program committee who    will recommend a decision to the chair of the track that    the paper has been submitted to. The chair will make the    final decision. Lastly, the final papers will be reviewed    by one member of the program committee.

   All accepted papers will be published in the respective    conference proceedings (in both, printed book form as well as    online). The proceedings will be indexed in Inspec / IET /    The Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / Computer    Science Bibliography, and others.) The printed proceedings    will be available for distribution on site at the conference.

   In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected    authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their    papers for publication in a number of research books being    proposed/contracted with various publishers (such as, Springer,    Elsevier, IOS, ...) - these books would be composed after the    conference. Also, many chairs of sessions and workshops will    be forming journal special issues to be published after the    conference.

IMPORTANT DATES: March 21, 2010: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages) April 10, 2010: Notification of acceptance (+/- two days) May 1, 2010: Final papers + Copyright + Registration July 12-15, 2010: The 2010 International Conference on Software

MEMBERS OF PROGRAM AND ORGANIZING COMMITTEES:    The Program Committee includes members of chapters of World    Academy of Science (chapters: supercomputing; scientific    computing; AI; imaging science; databases; simulation;    software eng.; embedded systems; internet & web technologies;    communications; computer security; & bioinformatics.) The    Program Committee for SERP'10 conference is currently    being formed. Many who have already joined the committees    of individual tracks are renowned leaders, scholars,    researchers, scientists and practitioners of the highest    ranks; many are directors of research labs., fellows of    various societies, heads/chairs of departments, program    directors of research funding agencies, deans and provosts.    You can view the list of program committee of the last two    offerings of SERP at:
   http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp08/ws/conferences/serp08/committee    http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp09/ws/conferences/serp09/committee    Program Committee members are expected to have established    a strong and documented research track record. Those    interested in joining the Program Committee should email    H. R. Arabnia (hra_at_cs.uga.edu) the following information for    consideration/evaluation: Name, affiliation and position,    complete mailing address, email address, a one-page biography    that includes research expertise and the name of the conference    offering to help with (ie, SERP).

LOCATION OF CONFERENCE:    SERP'10 will be held at Monte Carlo Resort, 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. This hotel has many    recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools,    sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool, nightly shows, many    restaurants, ... The hotel is adjacent to CityCenter
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityCenter ) which is the
   largest private development in the United States' history
(costing over $11 Billion); this offers access to additional
   recreational and entertainment attractions. The negotiated    room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. Received on Sat Mar 13 2010 - 05:06:00 CET
