SUBMISSION OF REGULAR PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading them
to the evaluation web site at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sam14
Submissions must be uploaded by March 15, 2014 and must be in 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 track title 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.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for
originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of
contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program
committee would be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject);
often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees.
Papers whose authors include a member of the conference program
committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process.
(Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered
for discussion/panels). 109849
The proceedings will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and

GENERAL INFORMATION:
SAM is an international conference that serves researchers, scholars,
professionals, students, and academicians who are looking to both foster
working relationships and gain access to the latest research results.
It is being held jointly (same location and dates) with a number of
other research conferences; namely, The 2014 World Congress in Computer
Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP). The
Congress is one of the largest annual gathering of researchers in
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. We
anticipate to have 2,100 or more attendees from over 85 countries.
The 2014 Congress will be composed of research presentations, keynote
lectures, invited presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, and
poster presentations. In recent past, keynote/tutorial/panel speakers
have included: Prof. David A. Patterson (pioneer, architecture, U. of
California, Berkeley), Dr. K. Eric Drexler (known as Father of
Nanotechnology), Prof. John H. Holland (known as Father of Genetic
Algorithms; U. of Michigan), Prof. Ian Foster (known as Father of Grid
Computing; U. of Chicago & ANL), Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy (pioneer, VR, U. of
California, Berkeley), Prof. Barry Vercoe (Founding member of MIT Media Lab,

OLPC), Prof. John Koza (known as Father of Genetic Programming, Stanford
U.), Prof. Brian D. Athey (NIH Program Director, U. of Michigan), Prof.
Viktor K. Prasanna (pioneer, U. of Southern California), Dr. Jose L. Munoz
(NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (pioneer, Broad
Institute of MIT & Harvard U.), Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh (Father of Fuzzy
Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head, NASA Mars Exploration Program/2000-2005 and
Associate Director, Project Formulation & Strategy, Jet Propulsion Lab,
CalTech/NASA; Director, NASA's JPL Solar System Exploration), Prof. David
Lorge Parnas (Fellow of IEEE, ACM, RSC, CAE, GI; Dr.h.c.: ETH Zurich, Prof.

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; i.e., facilitating increased opportunities for
cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. Below, you will find a
small subset of the books published based on extended versions of
accepted papers in the congress:
