Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.

We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware

Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 

We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See

Conclusion of the FECFRAME WG

Dear all,

The remaining milestones of the FECFRAME WG have been:
Mar 2012 	Simple LDPC-Staircase FEC Scheme submitted to IESG as PS
Mar 2012 	Simple RS FEC Scheme submitted to IESG as PS
Jun 2012 	Pseudo CDP for protecting multiple flows submitted to IESG as PS

All those milestones have been finally published as RFCs:
- RFC 6816: Simple Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) Staircase Forward 
Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME
- RFC 6865: Simple Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme 
for FECFRAME
- RFC 6801: Pseudo Content Delivery Protocol (CDP) for Protecting 
Multiple Source Flows in the Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework

The FECFRAME WG will be officially closed soon, as all milestones were 
successfully completed. The WG mailing list will remain open.

Thank you to the WG and the WG chairs.

Regards,

   Martin

Protocol Action: 'Simple Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs-06.txt)

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Simple Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for
FECFRAME'
  (draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs-06.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the FEC Framework Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Martin Stiemerling and Wesley Eddy.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs/

Technical Summary

   This document describes a fully-specified simple FEC scheme for Reed-
   Solomon codes over GF(2^^m), with 2 <= m <= 16, that can be used to
   protect arbitrary media streams along the lines defined by the
   FECFRAME framework.  Reed-Solomon codes belong to the class of
   Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes which means they offer optimal
   protection against packet erasures.  They are also systematic codes,
   which means that the source symbols are part of the encoding symbols.
   The price to pay is a limit on the maximum source block size, on the
   maximum number of encoding symbols, and a computational complexity
   higher than that of LDPC codes for instance.

Working Group Summary

There is consensus within the FECFrame WG to publish this document.
The document has been actively discussed on the wg list and in wg
meetings. There was no controversy with the progression of this
