Hi
Thanks for your input, and I comment on your post that it is always
important to listen to reviews, and try to understand reviewers (even
if they may be stupid, or have wrong comments), any world/community
editor or author should be careful to listen and understand to
comments, to make their work clarified, true and up to date. A
conference or document maybe noticed as a fake/humerous/joky only if
it gets reviewed by the world and commented on in public, in that way
the world can be aware. That is why I like the IETF that its documents
are Request For Comment (RFC), different from other world published
documents. If I am a chairman of a conference I will name its
publications RFC as well :)
I got once a reply on my review in an IETF WG that it was academic not
practical (I never distiguish them because I beleive they are
married), which I think we need all kinds of reviews, I like to
include comments as was this implemented or measured its performance
(by questioning authors). Reviewing any document in the world (which
will be published in the world) is not an easy task and also important
for authors to respect and acknowledge such review because it
increases reputation and saves them the worlds confusion after
publish.
I recommend all world WGs do more reviews and discussion on their
documents to get better reputation.

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study
on
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia
from University of Georgia, USA.
We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include:
(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or
inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware
Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning. However, it
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded.
We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any
thoughts
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP. DBLP and other indexing agencies have
stopped
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one
of the
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See
Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known
researchers
about WORLDCOMP.
The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a
paper than
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!
Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business,
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo)
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other
conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and
tries to
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above
website).
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers
published
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets.
Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until
2012) has
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their
image
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why
WORLDCOMP’13
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after
2013.
The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact
details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address!
Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference.
Reveal
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1
Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to
stop
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists
and people.
We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities
