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).

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." 109849
