Be cautious of this computer science conference If you have any thought of attending the world’s biggest f-a-k-e conference in computer science http://www.world-academy-of-science.org you should visit any websites below https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 or https://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump4 The organizer of this conference is H-amid A-rabnia http://www.cs.uga.edu/~hra a professor from University of Georgia, Athens, US. He already earned millions of dollars from the registration fee. He recently started a new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money http://www.americancse.org He did not reveal the reviews and reviewers' information for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests and challenges. The reason for his failure is there are no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research community for more than a decade by announcing that each draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him to publish these details at the conference website. Where are your experts? Where are your reviews? Soon he comes up with a story announcing that he lost all the information having reviews and reviewers because of computer crash or theft. DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and displayed an explicit message; "The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing of this conference series". Visit http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html as a sample. He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia name, and university of Georgia email address from the conference’s contact page because the University has banned him from doing that. Do not spoil your resume by publishing in this conference. Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading the news is the only way to stop this conference from harming innocent researchers. Respectfully, Many researchers cheated by these conferences
