About Indexing of these WSEAS Conferences, About Books and Journals
after the Conferences and a Message from Professor Zadeh, Y. Shmaliy
and D. Kazakos for WSEAS Members
After
the conferences in VENEZUELA,
we received
questions from 2
frequent WSEAS
authors about our
Books and
Proceedings in ISI.
We would like to
inform all the WSEAS
authors about the
following:
1. The
ISI updates its data base
http://science.thomsonreuters.com/m/excel/conference_titles_1998-2010.xlsx
every July and every January. The
last time that it was updated was July 2010.
As we were informed, they added all the WSEAS Conferences until
February 2010 in their database. They will update it again after
January 2011.
So, if your conference was after February 2010, check the database
of ISI again after January 2011. http://science.thomsonreuters.com/m/excel/conference_titles_1998-2010.xlsx
2. All
the WSEAS Conferences (100%) are in ISI, as no WSEAS conference has
been rejected from ISI since 1996.
3. All the WSEAS
Books, proceedings, CDs are in ISI independently if a particular
article or chapter of a book does not appear in a search engine .
So, check your Book, CD, Proceedings here: http://science.thomsonreuters.com/m/excel/conference_titles_1998-2010.xlsx
MESSAGE
FROM PROF. ZADEH:
I should like to extend
to you my best wishes for the holidays and the New Year. Special
thanks to those of you who have posted stimulating and
thought-provoking messages commenting on a wide variety of issues.
Two years ago, in December 2008, we were emerging from the worst
financial crisis since the Great Depression. The world of finance
came close to total collapse. Today, the worst is behind us but the
sky is cloudy. Greece, Portugal and Ireland came close to
defaulting. Several other countries in the Eurozone have piled-up
high debts. In the United States, the Federal Reserve is printing
money.
Some prominent
economists predict that the United States is heading toward
bankruptcy.
What caused the
crisis? As always,
there is more than one cause. An underlying cause relates to what I
called--in a paper published in 1974 "On the analysis of large-scale
systems"--the crisis of undercoordination. An updated version is
attached.
The world is becoming increasingly interconnected due to advances
in technology and growth in numbers. System theory tells us that
highly interconnected systems are vulnerable to catastrophic
failures. To prevent failures, it is necessary to resort to
coordination. Coordination is associated with regulation and
control. Since nobody likes regulation and control, the degree of
coordination in modern societies falls short of what is needed to
insure stability. This is a reality that underlies the crisis of
undercoordination. A visible result of undercoordination is a
tendency to pile up debt which will have to be repaid by future
generations. The problem is that in democratic societies future
generations have no vote.
As a member of the academic world, I do not have to worry about
losing my job, though I can understand the despair of those who have
lost theirs and cannot find a new one. Beyond unemployment, an issue
that is of serious concern to me is the growing domination of money
and commercialism in our society. In the United States,
universities--in particular private universities--are much more
money-oriented than they were when I entered the academic world. It
used to be the case that money was what was needed to support
research. In large measure, today research is what is needed to
bring in money. Today, in many universities, assistant professors
are warned that if they do not bring money they will not be given
tenure. To me, this is deplorable. Crass money-centricism is
degrading our culture and our moral values.
Unfortunately, money-centricity is infectious. In many countries,
money-centricity is in fashion. This is particularly noticeable in
the case of Russia, where pursuit of money-centricity has become an
official policy. Looking into the future a time will come when
Moscow State University will be renamed Abramovich University--named
after the richest oligarch in Russia. After all, in the United
States we have Rockefeller University, Carnegie-Mellon University,
and many others named after rich donors.
Regards to all,
Lotfi

Prof.
Yuriy S. Shmaliy, WSEAS Member and WSEAS
Plenary Speaker many times has been elevated as IEEE Fellow. This
is really a great distinction and important event (Yuriy is
originally from Ukraine, currently Professor in Guanajuato
University, in Mexico and this year, all the Latin America had only
4 (new) IEEE Fellows. One of them was Yuriy).
"I need to go in early May of 2011 to San Francisco where the
recognition ofnew Fellows will be organized by my IEEE UFFC Society,
to thank friends and colleagues. But 2011 is already scheduled
mostly for the WSEAS events and
Prof. Yuriy S. Shmaliy told us: "I am now managing to arrange
this extra trip. But it is going to be OK with this. This year I
decided to spend the University support and my own resources (I am
traveling with wife) mostly to the WSEAS conferences. It is not
usual for me, because of the IEEE activity. But, well, WSEAS becomes
more and more attractive."
Prof. Yuriy S. Shmaliy is a WSEAS Plenary lecture in the upcoming
WSEAS conferences in the University of Cambridge (Febr. 2011)
http://www.wseas.us/conferences/2011/cambridge/ispra/
He has also accepted to organize a special session in the SIP 2011
(still not placed on the WEB site)http://www.wseas.us/conferences/2011/lanzarote/sip/
and plan to propose a special session or a plenary lecture to the
WSEAS conference in Florence, Italy
http://www.wseas.us/conferences/2011/florence/iscgav/
Prof. Yuriy S. Shmaliy declared for Prof. Nikos E. Mastorakis
"I appreciate the efforts of Prof. Mastorakis in the area of
science and technology as a founder of WSEAS and hope that an
example of my increasing WSEAS activity can a bit energize you"
Prof.
Demetrios Kazakos, also IEEE Fellow, WSEAS Member and WSEAS
Plenary Speakermany times has been elected
and nominated Program Director in National Science Foundation.
(USA) dkazakos (AT) nsf.gov . Prof. Kazakos, WSEAS Member
and frequent participant, IEEE Fellow and Director of NSF will be
WSEAS Keynote Speaker in WSEAS Applied Informatics and
Communications, Aug 23-25, 2011, Florence, Italy.

WSEAS
JournalsThe WSEAS Journals are entirely
independent from the WSEAS Conferences, since they are currently candidates in
ISI Web of Knowledge (all the WSEAS Conferences and Books have been already in
ISI Web of Knowledge). Authors can send (upload) their papers to WSEAS
Transactions regardless of whether they have attended a WSEAS conference or not.
Also the WSEAS Transactions are the only open access journals in the world where
the Authors do not pay any kind of registration fees or publication fees or
"donation" (i.e. the full PDF files of the papers are permanantly open for
everybody, without any restrictions, while the authors are not charged with any
kind of fees). The Editors-in-Chief, being assisted by the members of the
Editorial Boards, are the absolute decision makers for the acceptance or not of
the submitted papers. WSEAS simply prints out the papers in hard copies & on the
web.
Additional features of the conferences:
1) Publication of the Proceedings in 3 media: hard-copy, CD, E-Library
(A) 3 books of WSEAS
with ISBN and
ISSN indexed by the major Citation Indices (ISI ranked): www.wseas.us/indexes
http://science.thomsonreuters.com/m/excel/conference_titles_1998-2010.xlsx
(B) CD-ROM Proceedings with pages' numbers with
ISBN and ISSN indexed by the major Citation Indexes: www.wseas.us/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 various international journals that participate in the major International Scientific
Indices (ISI, Elsevier, Scopus, EI, Compendex, INSPEC, CSA .... see: www.wseas.us/indexes ).
2)
WSEAS provides a very important tool to all the participants;
a permanent username and password for accessing WSEAS conference proceedings on-line for ever
3) The Participants received 6 coffee-breaks and a Banquet
4) 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:
