INVITATION:
We anticipate having between 1,800 and 2,000 participants
in the federated
event that this conference is part of. You are invited to
submit a paper
for consideration. All accepted papers will be published
in PRINTED
conference BOOKS/proceedings (with unique international
ISBN number) and
will also be made available online. The proceedings will
be indexed in
science citation databases that track citation frequency/data.
In addition,
like prior years, extended versions of selected papers
(about 40%) will
appear in journals and edited research books; publishers
include, Springer,
Elsevier, BMC, and others). See the web link below for a
small subset of
such publications: (some of these books and journal
special issues have
already received the top 25% downloads in their
respective fields and/or

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by
uploading them
to the evaluation web site at:
http://dmin-2016.com/submission.htm
Submissions must be uploaded by the due date (see
IMPORTANT DATES) and
must be in pdf format (i.e., no docx): 7 pages for
Regular Research
Papers; 4 pages for Short Research Papers; 2 pages for
Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers - the number of pages include all
figures,
tables, and references. Please follow the instructions
provided at
http://dmin-2016.com/submission.htm . Papers must not
have been
previously published or currently submitted for
publication elsewhere.
The first page of the paper should include the
followings:
- Title of the
paper
- Name,
affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author
(identify the
name of the Contact Author)
- Abstract
(between 100 and 120 words)
- A maximum of 5
topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in
the paper
- The actual
text of the paper can start from the first page (space
permitting).
Submissions are
to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal.
Type of Submissions/Papers:
- Full/Regular
Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):
Regular
Research Papers should provide detail original research
contributions.
They must report new research results that represent
a contribution
to the field; sufficient details and support for
the results and
conclusions should also be provided. The work
presented in
regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity
that with some
additional work can be published as journal papers.
- Short Research
Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short Research
Papers report on ongoing research projects. They should
provide overall
research methodologies with some results. The work
presented in
short papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity
that with some
additional work can be published as regular papers.
- Extended
Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):
Poster papers
report on ongoing research projects that are still in
their infancy
(i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to provide
research
methodologies without yet concrete results.
The 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. The proceedings/books of the
congress have been
evaluated and approved for inclusion into major science
citation index
databases. In addition, the proceedings are approved for
inclusion into
EBSCO, one of the largest subject index systems. ACM
Digital Library is also
including the titles into its database as well as
ProQuest indexing database
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 process may take 12 to 18
months), a significant
number of authors of accepted papers of our congress,
will be given the
opportunity to submit the extended version of their
papers for publication
consideration in these books. We anticipate having
between 10 and 15 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, SCI Compendex, Engineering Village,
EMBASE, and others).
For a recent and a very small subset of the books (and
journal special
issues) that have been published mostly based on the
extended versions of
the federated congress papers, see the link and titles

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."
MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF CONGRESS:
As of January 5, 2016, papers published in the conference
proceedings
that have been held as part of this federated congress,
have received
28,380 citations (includes 3,346 self-citations).
