SUBMISSION / Format OF PAPERS:

   Prospective authors are invited to submit their
   full papers (about 5 to 10 pages - single space, font size
   of 10 to 12) to Dr. Rose Joshua by March 31, 2005. E-mail
   submissions in MS document or PDF formats are preferable
   (Fax or postal submissions are also acceptable.)
   Each paper will be examined by a group of referees.

   The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will
   be limited to 7 (IEEE style) double-column pages.  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, 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) and a maximum of 5 keywords.
   Also, the name of the conference that the paper is being
   submitted to must be mentioned on the first page.

   Papers will be evaluated and fully refereed for originality,
   significance, clarity, and soundness.  Each paper will be
   refereed by two researchers in the topical area.
   The revised papers will be reviewed by one person.

CONFERENCE LOCATION:
The conference will be held at the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, in Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo
Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000
rooms. The hotel is minutes from the Las Vegas airport with 24-hour
shuttle service to and from the airport. This hotel has many vacation and
recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, casino,  spa, pools and
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, and more. Many
of these attractions are open 24 hours a day and most are suitable for
families and children. The negotiated hotel room rate for conference
attendees is very reasonable for the duration of the conference. The hotel
is within walking distance from most other Las Vegas attractions (major
shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining and night clubs,
free street shows, ...). For the benefit of our international colleagues:
the state of Nevada neighbors with the states of California, Oregon,
Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Las Vegas is only a few driving hours away from
other major cities, including: Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Grand
Canyon, ...


COMPLETE CONFERENCE INFORMATION:

This year, we will hold the world's largest gathering of researchers in
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing, in June
2005.

 +++ The World Congress in Applied Computing is an annual
     research gathering.  The main goal of this event is to
     provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number of
     fields that interact.  See below for the list of 14
     joint conferences that form the 2005 World Congress in
     Applied Computing.  (Date of event: June 20-23, 2005)

 +++ The International Multiconference in Computer Science
     and Computer Engineering is a major annual research
     event.  It assembles a spectrum of affiliated research
     conferences into a coordinated research meeting held
     in a common place at a common time.  See below for the
     list of 16 joint conferences that form the 2005
     International Multiconference in Computer Science and
     Computer Engineering.  (Date of event: June 27-30, 2005)

The model used to form these annual conferences facilitates
communication among researchers in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.
Both inward research (core areas of computer science and
engineering) and outward research (multi-disciplinary,
Inter-disciplinary, and applications) will be covered during
the conferences.
