Each paper will be refereed by two researchers in the topical area. The Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by session chair. The chair will check that the comments provided by the reviewers' have been incorporated in the revised text and that the revised paper follows the formatting rules. The chair will get back to you directly in case there are additional changes that need to be made. The format for camera ready paper version can be found at: http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. PUBLICATION: The conference proceedings will be published by CSREA Press (ISBN) in hardcopy. The proceedings will be available at the conference. Some accepted papers will also be considered for journal publication (soon after the conference). All conference proceedings published by CSREA Press are considered for inclusion in major database indexes that are designed to provide easy access to the current literature of the sciences (database examples: ISI Thomson Scientific, IEE INSPEC, DBLP, ...). After the conference, some sessions will be considered for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the session chair as the Guest Editor of the journal. Session Chair: Antonio Pescape' University of Napoli "Federico II", Napoli, Italy e-mail: pescape at unina.it and antonio.pescape at napoli.consorzio-cini.it fax: +39 081 7683816 LOCATION OF CONFERENCES: The conferences will be held in the Monte Carlo Resort hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). The Monte Carlo Resort is a mega hotel with excellent conference facilities & over 3,000 rooms. The hotel is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to & from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions, including: waterfalls, spa, pools & kiddies pools, sunning decks, Easy River water ride, wave pool with cascades, lighted tennis courts, health spa (with workout equipment, whirlpool, sauna, ...), arcade virtual reality game rooms, nightly shows, snack bars, a number of restaurants, shopping area, bars, ... Many of these attractions are open 24 hours a day & most are suitable for families & children. The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable. The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions (major shopping areas, recreational destinations, fine dining & night clubs, free street shows, ...). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antonio Pescap?
