I do not know, but I am glad they did. Perhaps I influenced their decision, because I recommended they stop using World Scientific. I do not like it for several reasons, which I can enumerate here in detail if anyone is interested. Briefly: World Scientific gets the copyright. I oppose copyrights but if there is going to be one, the ICCF conference and authors should retain it. The book is far too expensive. Their books are printed in a light 10-point Times Roman which I find unreadable. That last reason may seem trivial, but I do not think it is. The book costs $180 and it has hundreds of pages, yet reading 10 or 20 pages causes eyestrain and a headache. The layout and font size mean that your $180 investment is wasted. - Jed
