CONFERENCE
You have to pay an extra fee of 100 EUR, if you want to receive
the Conference Proceedings + Journal/Book with your paper by EXPRESS, SECURE
and REGISTERED Mail.
Due to several failures in the past, we do not use the regular post
anylonger, but only
EXPRESS, SAFE and REGISTERED post. For this reason, as well as for the whole
secretariat support,
WSEAS puts an extra fee of 100 EUR. You can send it to WSEAS using the same
procedure of the registration and using
the form that you can find at: http://www.worldses.org/forms/extrafees.doc
-- DO YOU ACCEPT REGISTRATION FEES VIA THE WEB?
WSEAS really protects you.
As you know, we have installed the Web Form technology in our 17 servers and
it would
be easy to permit the web registration. But, what will be happen,
if your money goes to some hackers? Please, do not trust
INTERNET TRANSACTIONS and do not put the number of your
credit card in any web form. There are several risks.
Do not send money to conference organizers (outside WSEAS) via web forms.
It is of high risk. The only safe procedure is the procedure of WSEAS.
-- DOES WSEAS ACCEPT OVERVIEW PAPERS? Absolutely not. WSEAS does not publish
overview papers.
-- WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PAPERS THAT I CAN PRESENT AND REGISTER IN A
CONFERENCE: 5 (five)
-- IS ONE REGISTRATION ENOUGH IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE PAPERS ACCEPTED?
We have the following algorithm:
One registration is enough, but justifies publication for you up to 6 pages
(totally).
That means that you have also to pay the extra pages fee
which is
((n1+n2+n3+n4+n5)-6)*100 EUR
So, you registration must be:
500 EUR if n1+n2+n3+n4+n5 <= 6
500 +((n1+n2+n3+n4+n5)-6)*100 EUR if n1+n2+n3+n4+n5> 6
where n1 is the number of your pages in the first paper
n2 is the number of your pages in the second paper
n3 is the number of your pages in the third paper
n4 is the number of your pages in the fourth paper
n5 is the number of your pages in the fifth paper
In the above calculation, WSEAS members must replace the "500 EUR"
with "450 EUR".
-- WHY, SOME TIMES, THE WSEAS CONFERENCES HAVE SO WIDE TOPICS? WSEAS is the
Society that promotes the development and the unified consideration of new
mathematical
methods and computational techniques as well as their applications in science
and engineering. So, it is expected to have cross-disciplinary events many times
worldwide. This is the unique role of WSEAS among the international academic
community.
-- CAN I HAVE DISCOUNT IN THE REGISTRATION FEES OR FINANCIAL SUPPORT? WSEAS does
offer a student registration fee for
students that do not present a paper. See the web page of the conference. We
cannot give other discounts. We are sorry that we could not be of more help.
- I CANNOT ATTENED (or I COULD NOT ATTEND) THE CONFERENCE THAT I SENT THE PAPER.
CAN I TRANSFER MY PAPER TO ANOTHER WSEAS CONFERENCE?
No, you cannot! If you do not show up in a WSEAS
conference, we will publish your paper in the proceedings
plus Journal or Book (if your paper will be also published
in Journal or Book after the Conference procedings), provided that at least
an author from your paper
will make registration for this conference.

Also, you have to pay the extra fee of 100 EUR, if you want us to sent to you

WARNING -- ALERT
please, be careful, we have been informed by some colleagues that some other
conference organizations (outside WSEAS) and individual organizers (outside
WSEAS)
use to promise Journals publications in order to attract papers for their
conferences.
We know for them that after the conference, (atttention: other organizers, not
WSEAS)
they disappear and they do not publish your papers in their Journals.
On the other hand they use to promise publication in Journals (copying the
policy of WSEAS with fraud)
but the journals are unknown or even when they are known, they never publish
papers
on them. Please, be careful.
Also, they promise benefits to Session Organizers copying WSEAS, but they cannot
provide
them, because usually their sessions fail. We have already received complaints
about that.
If you were a victim in such great frauds, please, inform us directly to inform
all the
other colleagues of WSEAS mailing lists. We will keep your name and mailing
address secret of course.
Be careful. Only in WSEAS, we can and do publish your papers in the CD-ROM
Proceedings plus Journals or Books
because we have NOW our own factory in Athens, GREECE.
In WSEAS, we have a real professional organization and not an "eventual
amateur".
Other Complaints for organizations (we repeat: outside WSEAS)
CITATION INDEXES: In WSEAS and only in WSEAS, it is a reality that after a
conference, your paper (if it is accepted and regstered of course)
it is included in all the major science citation indexes.
ISI, ELSEVIER, CSA, AMS. Mathematical Reviews, ELP, NLG, Engineering Index
Directory of Published Proceedings, INSPEC (IEE).
We have the letters/proofs from all of them.
Unfortunately, they exist some "others" that in an attempt to copy the
WSEAS promise publication in Citation Indexes, but
they are NOT in the Citation Indexes. Please, report us of your complaints.
NOTE THAT ONLY IN WSEAS CONFERENCES YOU CAN HAVE PROCEEDINGS
1) Special Issue in a Journal or \Book (after further review)
2) CD-ROM and
3) Web Publishing
Our members and registered authors in conferences
can browse and DOWNLOAD free all
the WSEAS Proceedings via:
