IMPORTANT DATES:
March 10, 2011: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages)
April 03, 2011: Notification of acceptance (+/- two days)
April 24, 2011: Final papers + Copyright/Consent + Registration
July 18-21, 2011: PDPTA'11

SUBMISSION OF 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 March 10, 2011 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 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. Finally, the name of the conference (ie, PDPTA) that the paper is being submitted for
consideration must be stated on the first page. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness.

All proceedings of WORLDCOMP will be published and indexed in:
Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering & Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography, and others. The printed proceedings will be available for distribution on site at the conference.

PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS:
Each session will have at least 6 paper presentations from different authors (12 papers in the case of workshops). The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions. The names of session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and on the cover of the books.

Proposals to organize sessions should include the following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer, his/her biography, title of session, a 100-word description of the
topic of the session, the name of the conference the session is submitted for consideration (i.e., PDPTA), and a short description on how the session will be advertised. Email your session proposal to editor@world-comp.org. We would like to receive the session proposals by January 16, 2011 (or as soon as possible).
