CALL FOR PAPER The 2004 International Multiconference in Computer Science and Computer Engineering Technical Session - Software Engineering: Concepts, Issues and Applications Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, June 21-24, 2004 http://www.world-academy-of-science.org
Dear Colleagues: You are invited to submit a draft paper for Software Engineering: Concepts, Issues and Applications (Technical Session) of International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP 2003). Accepted papers will be published in the respective conference proceedings. Co-Chairs seek high quality papers describing new research results, experience reports and case studies related to all topics related to development process of Software Engineering. These submissions can be from both industry and academia. These include, but are not limited to, Requirements Engineering, Software Modeling, Software Architecture, Programming, and Software Maintenance. Papers of software engineering in area of Distributed Systems, ODP Systems and Software Quality can also be submitted.
HISTORY: The International Multiconference in Computer Science and Computer Engineering is a major annual international research event. It assembles a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science and computer engineering. The last Multiconference attracted over 1,650 computer science and Engineering researchers from 78 countries. It is anticipated that The 2004 Int'l Multiconference will attract about 2000 participants. The 2004 event is composed of 18 (planned) major conferences - attendees will have full access to all 18 conferences' sessions & tracks. Each conference will have its own proceedings. All conference proceedings/books are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP, ...).
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft paper (about 5 pages - single space, font size of 12) to Heitor A. X. Costa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Jorge L. R. Becerra ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by the due date. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF (preferred) or PostScript format. Only E-mail submissions are acceptable. 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, E-mail address, telephone number, & Fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) & a maximum of 5 keywords.
EVALUATION PROCESS: Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one person.
PUBLICATION: The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP, ...).
ORGANIZERS/SPONSORS: A number of university faculty members and their staff in cooperation with the Monte Carlo Resort (Conference Division) will be organizing the conference. Technical co-sponsors include: World Academy of Science (non-profit organization - pending); Computer Science Research, Education, & Applications Press (CSREA: USA Federal EIN # 58-2171953); together with research centers, international associations, international research groups, and developers of high-performance machines and systems. The complete list of co-sponsors will be available at a later time. (Previous conferences' sponsors included: CSREA, the National Supercomputing Center for Energy and the Environment - DOE, The International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, The International Technology Institute (ITI), The Java High Performance Computing research group, World Scientific and Engineering Society, Sundance Digital Signal Processing Inc., Convex, Hewlett-Packard Inc., a number of publishers of books and journals, chapters of computer associations from various countries, ...)
CONFERENCES LOCATION: The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities & over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to & from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools & kiddie pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day & most are suitable for families & children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining & night clubs, free street shows, ...).
