Defamation campaign against WORLDCOMP and Hamid Arabnia For the last several months, a systematic defamation campaign is going on against the worlds' biggest computer science conference WORLDCOMP, eg. http://www.sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 or http://research.cs.wisc.edu/dbworld/messages/2012-03/1332361790.html
WORLDCOMP is addressing this matter legally and a lawsuit has been filed to resolve this matter (visit WORLDCOMP's website http://www.world-academy-of-science.org and click on "news" on right side). Our preliminary investigation found the footprints of the actual persons who are sending all these defamatory comments about WORLDCOMP and its Chair Hamid Arabnia. As of now, these are the persons behind this defamatory campaign: http://www.cs.uga.edu/~thiab http://www.cs.uga.edu/~tliu http://www.cs.uga.edu/~erc http://ktwop.wordpress.com/about http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~tyson http://www.cis.famu.edu/~hchi http://www.scs.gatech.edu/people/mustaque-ahamad http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~xyuan http://www.unf.edu/~ree http://www.johnlevine.com http://curly.cis.unf.edu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Shiryaev http://www.cse.sc.edu/~jtang http://www.ninaringo.com http://www.cis.famu.edu/~prasad http://www.scs.gatech.edu/people/maria-balcan http://www.f4.htw-berlin.de/~weberwu http://www.iaria.org/speakers/PetreDini.html http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/index.php?id=profiles&link=joseph_laviola (more names will be announced later on…) These people formed a team and mailing to different forums, groups, blogs and individuals, heavily criticizing WORLDCOMP. Some of them have personal or professional enmity with Professor Hamid Arabnia and some of them don't like WORLDCOMP for one reason or the other. They are using proxy servers in Georgia (Athens, Atlanta), Florida (Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orlando), Chicago and Texas (Austin, Houston) and sending the defamatory emails. I request all of you to submit papers and make WORLDCOMP 2012 a success. All tracks of WORLDCOMP have received high citations. I assure you that WORLDCOMP will be held in July 2012 and it will continue for many years to come. I know Professor Hamid Arabnia well and he is a very nice and professional person and he is committed to organize WORLDCOMP in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,...
