> PURPOSE / HISTORY:
>
> GCA'06 is an international conference held simultaneously
> (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other
> joint conferences as part of WORLDCOMP'06 (The 2006 World
> Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and
> Applied Computing). WORLDCOMP'06 is the largest annual
> gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
> engineering and applied computing. Each of the joint
> conferences in WORLDCOMP is the premier conference for
> presentation of advances in their respective fields.
> WORLDCOMP'06 is composed of the following international
> conferences: Parallel & Distributed Processing Techniques &
> Applications; Scientific Computing; Grid Computing &
> Applications; Security & Management; Artificial Intelligence;
> Machine Learning; Software Engineering Research & Practice;
> Programming Languages & Compilers; Internet Computing; Semantic
> Web & Web Services; Computer Design; Real-Time Computing
> Systems & Applications; Embedded Systems & Applications; Wireless
> Networks; Pervasive Systems & Computing; Image Processing,
> Computer Vision, & Pattern Recognition; Computer Graphics &
> Virtual Reality; Modeling, Simulation & Visualization Methods;
> Computer Games Development; Frontiers in Education in Computer
> Science & Engineering; Foundations of Computer Science;
> e-Learning, e-Business, Enterprise Information Systems,
> e-Government, & Outsourcing; Data Mining; Information &
> Knowledge Engineering; Bioinformatics & Computational Biology;
> Computing in Nanotechnology; Engineering of Reconfigurable
> Systems & Algorithms; Communications in Computing.
>
> The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated
> research conferences into a coordinated research meeting
> held in a common place at a common time. The main goal
> is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas in a number
> of research areas that interact. 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.
>
> PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING TECHNICAL SESSIONS:
>
> Each technical session will have at least 6 paper
> presentations (from different authors). The session
> chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their
> sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing,
> selecting, ... The names of session chairs will appear
> as Associate Editors in the conference proceedings and
> on the cover of the books.
>
> Proposals to organize technical sessions should include
> the following information: name and address (+ E-mail)
> of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of
> the topic of the session, the name of the conference the
> session is submitted for consideration, and a short
> description on how the session will be advertised (in
> most cases, session proposers solicit papers from
> colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the
> session proposer). Mail your proposal to H. R. Arabnia
> (address is given above); E-mail submissions are preferred.
> We would like to receive the proposals by December 29, 2005.
>
> SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
>
> Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft
> paper (about 5 to 8 pages - single space, font size of 10
> to 12) to one of the conference chairs (see above) by
> Feb. 20, 2006. E-mail submissions in MS document or PDF
> formats are preferable (Fax or postal submissions are also
> fine.) All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable
> (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to
> follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
> papers for publication.)
>
> 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) 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 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.
>
> MEMBERS OF PROGRAM & ORGANIZING COMMITTEES:
>

> shuttle service to and 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, ...).
