CONFERENCE CHAIR:
Dr. Robert Stahlbock
University of Hamburg, Germany
(General Conference Chair)
SUBMISSION OF
REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them
to the
evaluation web site at:
Submissions must
be uploaded by March 15, 2014 and must be in either
MS doc or pdf
formats (about 7 pages including all figures, tables, and
references -
single space, font size of 10 to 12). All reasonable
typesetting
formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers
will be asked to
follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their
final papers for
publication.) 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,
and email address for each author. The first page should
also identify
the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical
keywords that
would best represent the content of the paper. The name
of the
conference that the paper is being submitted for consideration
(i.e., DMIN)
must also be stated on the first page of the paper as well
as a 100 to
150-word abstract. The length of the final/Camera-Ready
papers (if
accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages.
Papers will be
evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness. Each
paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical
area. To reflect
upon feedback from last year we will extend the
constructive
feedback given within the review. Please consult the pages
for the Review
Process ( http://www.dmin-2014.com/DMIN2014/review.htm )
for additional
Information.
We particularly
encourage submissions of industrial applications and case
studies from
practitioners. To reflect the requirements of an application
or project
centric case study presentation, these will be subject to
different review
criteria. In particular, they will not be evaluated using
predominantly
theoretical research criteria of originality etc., but will
take general
interest and presentation stronger into consideration.
The DMIN'14
proceedings will be published in printed conference books
(ISBN) and will
also be made available online. The printed proceedings/
books will be
available for distribution on site at the conference. The
proceedings will
be indexed in science citation databases that track
citation
frequency/data for each published paper. Science citation
databases
include: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering &
Technology; The
French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS,
INIST databases,
PASCAL (accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO,
OVID,
Questel.Orbit, Qwam, & STN International); and others. The
proceedings/books
of DMIN for prior years have been evaluated for
inclusion into
major science citation index databases. We are happy to
report that the
evaluation board of science citation index databases have
approved the
indexing, integrating, and inclusion of DMIN proceedings
into relevant
indexing databases (indexing databases include, among
others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex, Engineering Village,
www.ei.org; and others).
In addition to
the above, we have arranged two new book series (multiple
books in each
series); one with Elsevier publishers (Emerging Trends in
Computer Science
and Applied Computing) and another with Springer publishers
(Transactions of
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence).
After the
conference (the whole process takes 12 months), a significant
number of
authors of accepted papers of DMIN, will be given the opportunity
to submit the
extended version of their papers for publication
consideration in
these books. We anticipate having between 10 to 20 books
a year in each
of these book series projects. Each book in each series
will be subject
to Elsevier and Springer science indexing products (which
includes:
Scopus, www.info.scopus.com;
SCI Compendex, Engineering Village,
examples of
books/journals based on extended versions of accepted papers
of the congress
that DMIN is part of:
SUBMISSION OF
POSTER PAPERS:
Poster papers
can be 2 pages long. Authors are to follow the same
instructions
that appear above (see, SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS) except
for the
submission is limited to 2 pages. On the first page, the author
should state
that "This paper is being submitted as a poster". Poster
papers (if
accepted) will be published if and only the author of the
accepted paper
wishes to do so.
PROPOSAL FOR
ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
DMIN is composed
of a number of tracks. A track can be a session, a
workshop, or a
symposium. A session will have at least 6 papers; a workshop
at least 12
papers; and a symposium at least 18 papers. Track chairs will be
responsible for
all aspects of their tracks, including: soliciting papers,
reviewing,
selecting, ... The names of track chairs will appear as Associate
Editors in the
conference proceedings and on the cover of the printed books
(and indexed in
science databases as such).
Proposals to
organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or symposiums) should
include the
following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer,
his/her
biography, title of track, a 100-word description of the topic of
the track, the
name of the conference the track is submitted for (i.e., DMIN)
and a short
description on how the track will be advertised (in most cases,
track proposers
solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is
known to the
track proposer). E-mail your track proposal to Prof. Gary M. Weiss
( special-session-chair@dmin-2014.com ). We would like to receive the track
proposals as
soon as possible but by no later than February 25, 2014.

top five largest
annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer
engineering and
applied computing. We anticipate to have attendees from about
85

conferences'
atmosphere, see some delegates photos available at:
An important
mission of The Congress is "Providing a unique platform for
a diverse
community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers,
developers,
educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted
effort to reach
out to participants affiliated with diverse entities
(such as:
universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies,
and research
centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also
attempts to
connect participants from institutions that have teaching as
their main
mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that
have research as
their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to
achieve its
institution and geography diversity objectives."
One main goal of
the congress is to assemble 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,
computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also
encourages
multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives;
ie, facilitating
increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across
sub-disciplines.
MEASURABLE
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of December
14, 2013, papers published in the conference proceedings
that have been
held as part of the joint Congress, have received over
27,500 citations
(includes about 3,300 self-citations). Citation data
obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ . The citation data
does not even
include more than 15,000 other citations to papers in tracks
whose first
offerings were initiated by this joint congress.
