Prof.Congyan Lang, Beijing Jiatong University and Prof. De Xu, Beijing Jiatong University
Honorary Chairmen were: Prof. Xuewei Li and Prof. Zhen Han


The Co-Chairmen of the International Scientific Committee met over three lunches to discuss and propose new research projects in the frame of IARAS and WSEAS.
The WSEAS Conference Manager of Asian Branch had also several discussions with all the members of the International Scientific Committee during the meeting. The meetings were characterized by their friendly atmosphere as well as the high quality of the presentations and discussions.

A variety of topics constituted the focus of paper submissions. In regular sessions papers addressed several interesting topics. Prominent lectures provided key-note speeches for the conference. Moreover, special sessions were organized, and invited lectures were given by well-known researchers. The conferences explored also the technical implications of the emerging control and information technologies.


The additional features of this multiconference were
1) Publication of the Proceedings in 3 media: hard-copy, CD, E-Library
(A) Books in the "Electrical and Computer Engineering Series" of WSEAS  (see details, contents, author indices and editors below) with ISBN and ISSN indexed by the major Citation Indices (ISI ranked): www.worldses.org/indexes

(B) CD-ROM Proceedings with pages' numbers with ISBN and ISSN indexed by the major Citation Indexes: www.worldses.org/indexes

(C) E-Library: http://www.wseas.org/online

and possible, for a very small number of papers:

(D) JOURNAL PUBLICATION: Expanded and enhanced versions of papers published in the conference proceedings also going to be considered for possible publication in one of the WSEAS journals that participate in the major International Scientific Indices (Elsevier, Scopus, EI, Compendex, INSPEC, CSA .... see: www.worldses.org/indexes     ).

2) WSEAS gave a very strong and important tool to all the participants: A new username and password without expiry date for on-line access in the WSEAS Conference proceedings FOR EVER.

3) The Participants received 3 lunches, 6 coffee-breaks and 1 Gala Dinner with the high quality of the WSEAS

4) Rich cultural and social part as usual in WSEAS events. The importance of these conferences can be proved by the impact of these conferences in 2006: See, please http://www.wseas.org/reports

8) The conference Books (Hard-Copy Proceedings), CD-ROM proceedings and Journals (with selected papers) published by WSEAS Press continue to sell for a long time after the meeting has taken place. This is another demonstration of the prestige the scientific community attribute to the meetings organized by the WSEAS.
For example, they are distributed via AMAZON: 
WSEAS @ AMAZON.COM

.: JOURNALS:


.: What is the Permanent Procedure for additional Journal publication for a very small number of High-Quality Papers presented in the WSEAS Conferences in China (after the recommnedation of Chairmen). So, the authors with accepted & presented papers received the following e-mail:


We have started now the procedure for the evaluation of the extended versions of your papers for possible inclusion in the WSEAS journals after new rounds of review.

INTRODUCTION: You know that our goal is to maintain very strong international journals, to increase the impact of our beloved WSEAS Transactions, really top journals as they really are. To this end, we need only high quality papers, breakthrough works of archival value, i.e. papers that are well written from any point of view, completed studies (with their numerical examples or experiments that must be compared with the previous results in the literature), excellent english and of course correct WSEAS format. The papers also must be substantially extended version of the paper that was presented in the conference (with more than 40% new material). We need papers that will attract the attention of other scholars citing them increasing our impact. In the next few years, the WSEAS transactions must be in every academic library, in every corner of the earth. To this end, we need your high quality contribution.

HOW TO PROCEED: a) Check very carefully if your idea is really important, breakthrough in your field and can appear in a Journal of the quality and the level of the WSEAS Transactions. If you doubt, do not send it so easily. Your paper must not be only a good idea. It must be a complete study with theoretical background, complete bibliographical references; without grammatical and syntactical errors. For theoretical works: full comparison with previous published papers is necessary. We need numerical examples, applicability of the method, originality, novelty and directions for future research. For experimental or computational works: full comparison with previous published papers is necessary. We need real experiments with the necessary documentation, while for computational work, we need full benchmarks. Of course along discussions for the applicability of the method, originality, novelty and directions for future research.
 
b) Complete the extended version of your paper until December 31, 2007 and upload it via
http://...............  (the full web address was given only to authors that presented a paper)
until December 31, 2007

c) If your extended version fulfills the paragraph a), then our Editors will send it to 3 independent Reviewers outside your country. If not, our Editors are entitled to reject it from this early stage informing you properly. The positive answer of the 3 reviewers is necessary (attention: 2 yes and 1 no implies NO, i.e. rejection).

d) Our Editors will collect the reviewers' remarks and will send them again to you for acceptance/ acceptance after minor revision / acceptance after major revision / rejection

e) Possibly new rounds of review will be needed.

f) No additional fee is needed in case of acceptance.

After all this procedure, the accepted papers that come from WSEAS Conferences in Canada will be published in the various WSEAS Transactions. IF you miss the deadline of December 31, 2007 , or if your paper was not presented in the WSEAS Conferences, THEN: you can upload it quite independently as regular paper from the WSEAS Site for the Journals:
http://www.worldses.org/journals/index.html 

The final list of the papers must have the approval of our Editors and 3 Reviewers, and of course the Editor-in-Chief of the particular Journal.

We want only authors that presented their papers to complete this web form:
http://...............   (the full web address was given only to authors that presented a paper) So, in this form you will need a password (the password was given only to the authors that presented a paper).
