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

Any implementations using userPassword;hash-scheme?

HI!

Is anyone here aware of any implementation using userPassword;hash-scheme?

It was described in RFC 2307 but starting with a rather vague text:
"A future standard may specify LDAP v3 attribute descriptions to represent
hashed userPasswords"

The text was already dropped in draft-howard-rfc2307bis-02 section 5.2.2.1.
but without any further explanation.

So I guess there are no implementations but I want to make sure.

Ciao, Michael.

Abstract:
   This document defines structural object classes that can be used when
   no other structural object class seems suitable.  Especially the
   object classes will give the possibility to associate a common name
   and a free-from description with the object.

Read Entry control not applicable to Bind Operations

HI!

I wonder why RFC 4527 limits the use of the Read Entry control to update
operations (Add, Delete, Modify, ModifyDN).

E.g. the pre-read control could be also useful to read the last login time and
number of failed authc attempts and display it to the user *after* a
successful bind. This is a bit tricky since the appropriate ACLs would have to
be applied when reading the attribute values although the user is not already
bound. But this could be internally handled by the server similar to proxy authz.

Ciao, Michael.

RFC 2589: limits for requestTtl

HI!

RFC 2589 says:

   The requestTtl is a time in seconds (between 1 and 31557600) that the
   client requests that the entry exists in the directory before being
   automatically removed.

31557600 seconds is 365 days (one non-leap year). That's not so much.

Does anybody here know why this limit was defined in this RFC?

Ciao, Michael.

What problems are not easily solved?

The behaviour of web2ldap's UI already changes if this control is in effect.
E.g. input fields of relaxable attributes are enabled if the user turns on the
relax rules control. Obviously I'd prefer to look at the subschema to find out
which attributes can be relaxed instead of maintaining a hard-coded list in
web2ldap's code.

Yes, the control is for the expert DSA admin.
But a good admin tool guides the admin user too.

Yes, so please comment in detail on the mailing lists where you saw this.

Fwd: [ldap] LDAPCon 2011 Call for Papers

Maybe some of the subscribers are interested in this.

Ciao, Michael.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [ldap] LDAPCon 2011 Call for Papers
Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:46:47 +0200
From: Peter Gietz <peter.gietz <at> daasi.de>
To: ldap <at> umich.edu

With the usual apologies.

The 3rd Edition of the International Conference on LDAP (LDAPCon
2011[1]) will be held on October, 10-11, 2011 in Heidelberg, Germany.
A Call For Papers[2] has been raised and the Program Committee asks you
to submit abstracts by July 8th.

The International Conference on LDAP is a technical forum for IT
professionals interested in LDAP and related topics like directory
servers, directory management applications, directory integration,
identity and access management, and meta directories.

It focuses on implementation and integration of LDAP servers and
LDAP-enabled client applications. The event will bring together vendors,
developers, active and prospective LDAP practitioners to share their
experiences about deployment strategies, service operations,
interoperability, discuss LDAP usage in new projects and learn about
upcoming trends and developments.

The 1st LDAPCon[3] was held in September 2007 in Germany, the 2nd
LDAPCon[4] was held in September 2009 in Portland, Oregon, USA
(Some pictures from LDAPCon 2007 [5] and a nice summary of LDAPCon 2009 [6])

So if you're involved with LDAP in interesting projects and you want to
share your experiences, please check the Call For Papers and submit a
proposal.

Best,

Peter
