From pk at DENIC.DE Fri Dec 20 23:12:33 2013 From: pk at DENIC.DE (Peter Koch) Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 23:12:33 +0100 Subject: [dns-wg] FWD: Call for Presentations - DNS-OARC Spring Workshop, May 2014 Message-ID: <20131220221233.GW13475@x28.adm.denic.de> FYI, this is the weekend before the Warsaw RIPE meeting. We'll talk to each other re: topics and presentations, as with prior adjacent events. There will be a call for presentations for the RIPE DNS WG early Jan 2014. Season's Greetings, Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Presentations - DNS-OARC Spring Workshop, May 2014 Next OARC Spring Workshop will take place in Warsaw, Poland on May 10th and 11th, the weekend before RIPE68. OARC is requesting proposals for presentations, with a preference for DNS privacy and confidentiality work and ideas, and DNS over alternative (non UDP) transports. This workshop continues OARC's tradition of having meetings include a strong operational component. Presentations from DNS operators are particularly welcome. We'll also gladly accept talks from DNS researchers, as well as any other DNS-related subjects such as tools, visualizations and data analysis. If you are an OARC member, and have a sensitive topic you would like to present for members-only, we will accommodate those talks too. Adopting practice from other conferences, a section of lightning talks will be added for short presentations. Workshop Milestones * 20 December 2013, Call for Presentations posted * 6 January 2014, Open for submissions * 1 March 2014, Deadline for submission * 28 March 2014, Final Program published * May 9 2014, Final deadline for slideset submission Details for abstract submission will be published here: https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/workshop-2014-05 at the beginning of January 2014. If you consider submitting a presentation, please let the Programme Committee know in advance to help us organize the presentations tracks. You can contact the Programme Committee: https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/programme via submissions at dns-oarc.net if you have questions or concerns. Sebastian Castro, for the OARC Programme Committee (Please note that OARC is run on a non-profit basis, and is not in a position to reimburse expenses or time for speakers at its meetings.)

Hamd Arabnia never responded to these because his conferences are bogus. Hamid Arabnia (the money hungry professor) has recently started 2014 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'14) http://www.americancse.org to deceive researchers further. CSCI'14 is started under the title of ?American Council on Science and Education? which is a dummy corporation (does not exist anywhere in the world). Hamid Arabnia buried his name in the list of names of other innocent steering and program committee members of CSCI?14 to avoid any special attention. He knows that if his name is given any special attention then researchers immediately notice that the conference is fake due to his ?track record? with WORLDCOMP. Hamid Arabnia (Guru of Fake Conferences and champion of academic scam) spoiled the reputations and careers of many authors who submitted papers to his infamous WORLDCOMP for more than a decade and he is now ready to do the same using CSCI. Interestingly, CSCI is scheduled to be held at the same venue where WORLDCOMP was held until 2012. CSCI has no general chair. It has no physical person?s name or physical address or phone number to contact. Only contact address is an email address. Hamid Arabnia and his puppets answer the emails, if needed, using fake names. Do not spoil your resume by submitting your papers in this bogus conference CSCI which will not be held beyond 2014. CSCI will not be indexed by DBLP. Recently, Hamid Arabnia paid money and published few ?news articles? claiming him a victim of online harassment and cyber bullying. Now he started posting (using fake names and through his puppets) in various emails, blogs and forums, referring to those ?news articles? and trying to get back sympathy and trust of the research community to make his CSCI successful. Hamid Arabnia is a Wolf in a Sheep?s skin. We challenge Hamid Arabnia to openly publish the names and affiliation details of the reviewers for thousands of research papers submitted to WORLDCOMP for the last thirteen years. We also challenge Hamid Arabnia to openly publish all the reviews (after removing authors identification details) for all the thousands of research papers submitted to WORLDCOMP for the last thirteen years. There are more challenges at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 We know that he never accepts these challenges because there were no reviews and no reviewers and he simply cheated the research community for all these years. We are not surprised if he comes out tomorrow claiming that his computer crashed and he lost the reviews and reviewers? details. He can play any deceiving trick. See the important website https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 for more information on WORLDCOMP, including links to DBLP stop indexing WORLDCOMP proceedings. See http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com for Hamid Arabnia and his puppet?s Anti-Christmas Greetings campaign. We ask Hamid Arabnia and his puppets to address the above issues and challenges before posting any other message. Do not spoil your resume by publishing in the fake conferences of Hamid Arabnia. Sincerely, Many researchers cheated by the conferences of Hamid Arabnia From randy at psg.com Wed Dec 25 12:35:40 2013 From: randy at psg.com (Randy Bush) Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2013 06:35:40 -0500 Subject: [dns-wg] Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia In-Reply-To: <20131224174756.713E160210@smtp.hushmail.com> References: <20131224174756.713E160210@smtp.hushmail.com> Message-ID: and you are a well known fake conference denier spammer
