They print out great advertizing posters with a very big picture of IEEE logo. Sometimes they make several phone calls. They know that the personal phone calls are better than the Email Spam. I was called by a colleague last December to participate in his IEEE conference. I told him that I am not an expert in the field of this conference, but he insisted that I am inside the scopes of the meeting. I sent them 5 papers. All of them passed without review.<br />When I asked them why I did not took any review, he told me "your papers were really excellent". I do not say that my papers were bad, but at least, I wanted to have some opinions, some comments, some ideas. I was waiting for them, but nothing. Finally, we made some negotations with registration fees. With 5 accepted papers I had to pay 2000 Dollars. Fortunately, my "good" colleague made a generous discount for me and I paid only 1500 Dollars providing that I would say good comments and positive opinion for his IEEE conference to my friends. I did it. However, I am writing you now the truth for this bogus IEEE conference.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987803592321092282.post-32903384213779523802012-03-22T04:26:00.001-07:002012-03-22T04:26:47.324-07:00SIAM and IEEE work in the same way.SIAM and IEEE work in the same way. They sell their (bad) name to dubious conference organizers for some royalties. To accept papers based on a quick review in their abstracts is unacceptable, unethical and quite risky. This is the reason that IEEE and SIAM conferences have accepted so many SCIgen fake papers. So, the book of Abstracts especially of many SIAM conferences is a real festival of fake papers that can be classfied as follows<br /><br />a) fake papers (like SCIgen or like the paper: "mathematical psychology of insects" that published in SIAM last year) that are submitted intentionally <br /><br />b) wrong papers from suckers that believed that they discovered a new theory of relativity or they believe that they will correct Einstein's theorems or will resolve the last theorem of Fermat. These are not SCIgen papers, but are papers of suckers. They pay 300-500 USD and then <br />they cock in their family or in their neighborhood that they have proved the ... Fermat's last theorem.<br /><br />c) some ideas of some people in their Abstract without any implementation of the main part of their paper. For example: "plantations on the moon or on the Mars", or "on a new medicament for the cancer therapy" and many other "good things" in the Abstract (sounds good) but without any real implementation in the real part of the articles.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987803592321092282.post-90866814379774885972011-08-13T10:48:00.000-07:002011-08-13T10:52:26.370-07:00IEEE racismGoogling "IEEE racism" you will several interesting posts about IEEE racism.<div>IEEE racism is defined the easy way that you can publish a paper in IEEE Journals if you are from USA while you are banned if you are from Islamic World or Africa</div><div>

Such potentially interdisciplinary emerging topics will be selected as long as, first, they are clearly situated at the forefront of current scientific and technological developments and, second, they are expected to grow over time in scientific and professional importance and, therefore, in the number of active practitioners. From this point of view, JETCAS is expected to create new communities interested in the long-term development of the most promising subjects presented in the journal. The editorial strategy followed by JETCAS will be the publication of Special Issues on the selected topics. These issues will include research contributions from leading experts and presentations geared towards a wide audience of scientists and practitioners in the form of overview and tutorial-style articles and multidisciplinary research papers.<br /><br />MASSOUD PEDRAM, Editor-in-Chief (EiC)<br /><br />MANUEL DELGADO-RESTITUTO, Deputy EiC<br /><br />ENRICO MACII, 2010-2011 VP Publications, IEEE CAS-S<br /><br />GIANLUCA SETTI, 2010 President, IEEE CAS-S<br /><br /><br />Volume 1, Issue 1 - Inaugural Edition<br />http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5503868<br /><br />Pedram, M.;

It from these grounds that the flotilla to Gaza sailed which has made international headlines recently.

The relationship between Mr. Erdogan's government and the IHH ought to be one focus of any international investigation. The foundation is a member of the "Union of Good," a coalition that was formed to provide material support to Hamas and that was named as a terrorist entity by the United States in 2008.”</div><div><br /></div><div>(2) The so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University” is responsible for producing an industry of denial in order to falsify the historical record of atrocities perpetrated by the Turkish terrorist organizations Volgan and TMT on the Greek-Cypriot people , See “Greek Cypriot atrocities” http://gundem.emu.edu.tr/subat2006/english/tony2.htm</div><div><br /></div><div>(3) Universities operating in the occupied part of Cyprus are not under effective control of the government of Cyprus. They have not been registered or accredited by the Ministry of Education and Culture and their academic accreditations and certificates are not recognized internationally. These so-called “universities” use properties which are owned by persons holding title under the law of the Republic of Cyprus and who have been unlawfully excluded from their property.</div><div><br /></div><div>(4) The so-called “TRNC” regime is a bandit pseudo-state and a base for Turkey’s deep state. As an unofficial “off-shore” hub for the Turkish military, the illegal regime is heavily involved in narcotics trafficking and other illicit activities. I.e. , the former “Minister of Agriculture” Kenan Akin is wanted for the public murder of Greek-Cypriot Solomos Solomou, and has been captured in Turkey for heroin smuggling but subsequently was released, despite the Interpol warrant issued for his arrest.</div><div> </div><div>By continuing its relationship with the so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University,” </div><div>IEEE abets and perpetuates a blatant violation of international law as well as a transgression of basic human rights. </div><div>I therefore urge you to cancel this cooperation and stand for justice by publicly signing our petition calling for the arrest of Kenan Akin, </div><div>who is wanted for the murder of peaceful Greek-Cypriot demonstrator Solomos Solomou.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br /></div><div>(Your Name, City, State, Country)</div><div><br /></div><div>ATTACH:</div><div><br /></div><div>Print out and sign the petition The Murderer—KENAN AKIN A CALL FOR JUSTICE</div><div><br /></div><div>http://cyprusactionnetwork.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/KENAN_AKIN-A_CALL_FOR_JUSTICE.14214935.pdf</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>A new IEEE Pseudo-Conference ***** An IEEE fake conference *********** </div><div>~</div><div><br /></div><div>OFFICIAL LETTER FROM, Ioannis Shekersavvas</div><div><br /></div><div> PRESIDENT OF ADOULOTI KERINIA</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>C.c.

IEEE SPAM and IEEE Fake<br />Spamferences</div><div><br />AN OPEN LETTER for IEEE: was sent to us by email (!!!)<br /><br />=======================<br />Dear Stephan<br /><br />I am a freelance journalist who specialises in scholarly communication<br />and in Bogus IEEE Conferences<br /><br />I understand that you are the founder of IEEE Spam System in Germany<br /><br />I have previously been in communication with Johan and Petr and asked<br />him if we could organise an interview with you as father of IEEE<br />bogusity for me. However, I did not heard back from him on this<br />matter.<br /><br />In our email exchange Petr was kind enough to address some concerns<br />that had been raised with me by a number of researchers, who appeared<br />to be on IEEE Spam System but do not wish to be. Despite their best<br />efforts they had been unable to have themselves removed from your<br />list. Meanwhile they were being bombarded with multiple emails.<br /><br />In an email to me of 11th May Petr assured me that two researchers I<br />mentioned to him had been contacted by IEEE Spam System and that their<br />names had been removed. Unfortunately at least one is still being sent<br />unsolicited email (see below), and is very frustrated by it.<br /><br />I have also had a number of other researchers raise with me the issue<br />of peer review in connection with IEEE Spam Industry<br /><br />I am sure these are all misunderstandings and can be settled in an<br />interview. I would be most grateful therefore if you could spare the<br />time to do a telephone interview with me about IEEE Spam Conferences<br />and IEEE fake meetings and its activities.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you IEEE Spam.<br /><br />As you know about IEEE SPAM and IEEE Fake Spamferences<br /><br />where there is money to be made, people will try to do it. that is<br />basically the lesson to be learned from the numerous IEEE fake<br />Conferences or IEEE spamferences popping up at an increasing rate.<br />when does a conference become an IEEE fake event or an IEEE<br />spamference? that's hard to say.<br /><br />There are numerous minor IEEE Spam conferences which may not be of<br />greatest impact or quality, but still serve legitimate needs, such as<br />providing forums for younger researchers, or providing local<br />platforms.<br /><br />The increasing number of Spamferences in the mediterranean countries<br />seems to be an indication of this. these conferences usually have<br />mostly local attendants and sometimes they have papers and<br />presentations in the local language, which makes it easier for local<br />authors to submit and present. to me, most of these conferences look<br />legitimate.<br />but then there's the decidedly non-local approach, the grand über-<br />conferences with titles that often sound like "34th intergalactic<br />conference on science, nature, and other really complicated<br />stuff" (maybe i should trademark that...). my personal favorite is<br />"The 12th IEEE Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and<br />Informatics", hosted by the godfather of spamferences, NAGIB CALLAOS<br />with the approval and sponsorship of IEEE Spam.<br /><br /><br />This particular venue received quite a bit of attention for accepting<br />a paper that had been generated by an automated paper generator.<br />others report submitting papers with obviously stupid text and also<br />getting accepted.<br /><br />The reviewing process of these conferences seems to be non-existent<br />(you don't get review reports, and if you ask, you get weird<br />explanations why there are none).<br /><br />The only things that seems to work well at these conferences is<br />sending invitations (they are sending personalized invitations,<br />something that no respectable conference bothers to do), and handling<br />registrations (i.e., collecting money).<br /><br /><br />The IEEE Conferences are organized by different entities. Some of them<br />were good and some of them are very bad. For example, the<br />International Institute of Informatics and Systemics (IIIS), organized<br />many IEEE sponsored conferences (with the logotype of IEEE)<br /><br />Nagib Callaos says that IIIS is "a nonprofit organization based in<br />Venezuela, which examines and contemplates the globalization process."<br />interestingly, the Florida Division of Corporations lists callaos'<br />institute (named a little differently) as a for-profit organization.<br />what a surprise!<br />the saddest thing about this is that publishing at spamferences will<br />actually hurt your career, yet many researchers don't really know what<br />they are getting into. simply google cvs listing this conference and<br />you'll see how successful the business seems to be (2260 hits)...<br /><br />This is the problem with IEEE. IEEE means fake conferences.<br /><br />A central shop that gives the IEEE logo and IEEE title to many local<br />organizers.<br /><br />IEEE gives its name and its logo to many bogus conferences like:<br /><a href="http://iaria-highsci.blogspot.com/2009/05/bogus-papers-in-ieee-computational.html" target="_blank">http://iaria-highsci.blogspot.com/20...utational.html</a><br /><br />Please take careful note of the information belowabout this IEEE<br />Computational Complexity conferenceIt is another FAKE IEEE conference<br />this time on Computational Complexity.The organizers are academic<br />criminals.Do NOT send these criminals any money. Please send this<br />warning on to your networks.Many young people have been defrauded<br />lately - and we must work together to defeat such efforts.Use extreme<br />caution when applying for conferences advertised by organizations<br />unknown to you.What a Shame for the IEEE Computational Complexity<br />Conference! two new bogus papers have been accepted in the<br /><a href="http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/jrogers/complexity/accepted.htmlExtractors" target="_blank">http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/jrogers/...htmlExtractors</a><br />for varieties ??????????by Zeev Dvir !!!andExtractors for Low-Weight<br />Affine Sources ??????? byAnup RaoThe papers are absolutely fake<br />papers.What a Shame for the IEEE Computational Complexity Conference<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
