Scientific Aspect
Review Process:
Each paper was reviewed at least by 2 independent reviewers. The WSEAS
Secretariat sent each paper to 4 reviewers. Some papers received reviews from 4
different referees. The WSEAS Secretariat forwarded these comments by
personalized emails to the responsible for the correspondence author. The full
list of the reviewers will be available in the web page:

PERMANENT
PROCEDURE FOR ADDITIONAL JOURNAL PUBLICATION:
Dear Author,
One month after the conference, we have started the evaluation of the papers
from the conference for possible inclusion of their extended and enhanced
versions in the WSEAS Journals.
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 March 31
and send it until March 31, by email to us:
extended *at* worldses.org
(replace *at* with @ and remove blanks)
You must receive an email notification from the WSEAS after your submission.
WSEAS will check: if it is really an extended paper of our conference and if it
fulfils the requirements of the previous paragraph a). If not, he is entitled to
reject it from this early stage informing you properly.
c) If WSEAS verifies that your paper fulfils the requirements of the paragraph
a), then he will send it to 3 independent Reviewers outside your country. The
positive answer of the 3 reviewers is necessary (i.e. 2 yes and 1 no implies NO,
i.e.rejection).
d) WSEAS 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.
g) Some authors (fortunately very few for the WSEAS Congresses) that did not
show up in the conference (in China) to present their paper are not eligible to
send extended version. (Of course,
they can send, at any time of the year, their papers via the normal procedure of
the WSEAS Journals directly to the Editors-in-Chiefs
http://www.worldses.org/journals/index.html )
After all this procedure, the accepted papers that come from WSEAS Conferences
will be published in
* WSEAS Transactions on SYSTEMS
* WSEAS Transactions on COMPUTER RESEARCH
IF: you want another journal, or if you miss the deadline of March 31, or if you
did not present your paper in the conference 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 an Associate Editor, 3
Reviewers, and of course the Editor-in-Chief of the particular Journal. i.e. 5
persons: 3 Reviewers, Guest Editor and the Editor-in-Chief of the particular
Journal. We hope to help to to maintain the WSEAS Transactions, top journals in
the electrical and computer engineering
WSEAS sent a full report of the whole review process and the whole
correspondence to the following international indexes that have recognized
officially the Validity and the Reputation of the WSEAS Conferences: (see also:
www.worldses.org/indexes )
Best Student Papers:
The Organizing Committee received the forms that the Session Chairmen filled in
after the end of their Sessions and after additional evaluation and discussion
decided the following.
The Criteria were
a) originality and scientific impact
b) good presentation
c) paper presented by a student

Social Aspect
Coffee-Breaks: The WSEAS Organizing Committee offered 6 very rich
coffee-breaks. Each coffee-breaks were composed by filter coffee, decaf. coffee,
tea, local sweets, biscuits, freshly baked pastries. During the Coffee-Breaks
