FROM: Nikos Mastorakis:
We visited last Sunday the well known Attica Zoological Park
http://www.atticapark.com/main_en.htm
and visiting the department with Monkeys we started a discussion
about Darwin's Theory (Evolution). A good colleague from another Military
University of Greece (Hellenic
Airforce Academy) had many objections about the Evolutionary Theory and sent me
later a
very interesting email. It seems that the controversy still exists and there is
no a common
point of Scientists yet. Many WSEAS Members are Biologists, however all of us
have our personal
opinions maybe from our families and under the influence of our religions.
I have told in a previous WSEAS Conference on Evolutionary Computing
(Lisbon, 2005) that maybe God uses Evolutionary Computing like an Engineer and so
probably there is not a real contradiction between Creation and
Evolution. It seems that a common point could be an Intelligent Design.
As you can see our discussion cannot be only scientific, but it must
combines personal faith, experiences outside science (religion? miracle?
experience?). The WSEAS Community includes people from all the religions. Many of
them are religious persons. We want to have your opinions.
To this end, we created a Forum (i.e. Blog) with several videos that
we found from www.youtube.com
http://creation-and-evolution.blogspot.com/2008/01/creation-or-evolution.html
If you are interested to participate in this dialogue ("debate")
you can post your opinions, articles, etc

INDEXING
WSEAS has already ensured the inclusion of all the volumes of the Proceedings in
all the collaborating WSEAS Citation Indices, like ISI, INSPEC (IEE),
Engineering Information (EI), SCOPUS, Elsevier and the various Elsevier
Bibliographic Databases, CSA (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), ZENTRALBLATT,
ULRICH, MATHSCINET of AMS (American Mathematical Society), MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
of AMS (American Mathematical Society), DPP (Directory of Published
Proceedings), Computer Science Bibliography Administrator, American Chemical
Society, DEST, EBSCO etc.....http://www.worldses.org/books/index.html
For example, the IEE (now it is called IET) has in its citation index (INSPEC)
more than 7000 papers from WSEAS, only for the last 3 years.

UNIVERSITIES WHERE THE WSEAS ORGANIZES CONFERENCES:
See www.wseas.org
REJECTION RATES IN CONFERENCES:
TYPICAL EXAMPLE: The WSEAS Conference in the University of Cambridge (February
2008) has already received more than 800 papers. From these papers, after a
strict review we have selected 377 for the publication.
RATES OF REJECTION IN JOURNALS:
You can find the reviewers that WSEAS uses at the page
http://www.worldses.org/review/index.html
The POSITIVE OPINION OF 3 INDEPENDENT REFVIEWERS is necessary.
Example:
http://tinyurl.com/2q6vnr or via the official web page of WSEAS.
OTHER FEATURES
1) A very strong and important feature is that the WSEAS will give to the
partipants a new username and password WITHOUT EXPIRY DATE for on-line access in
the WSEAS Conference proceedings FOR EVER.
2) Several University Faculty Members and Senior Researchers that will be with
us in the Conference create groups and committees for the other WSEAS events
3) Rich cultural and social part as usual.
The importance of these conferences can be also proved by the impact
of these conferences in 2007 and 2008: See, please
http://www.wseas.org/reports/
4) The conference Books and Conference CD-ROM published by WSEAS Press continue
to sell for a long time after the meeting has taken place. This is another
demonstration of the prestige the scientific community attribute to the meetings
organised by the WSEAS.R FEATURES:
PUBLICITY:
In the WSEAS Conferences the accepted papers are published
(1) Books (All these books participate in ISI, IEE, ELSEVIER, SCOPUS etc..., see
the list in above) with ISBN and ISSN
http://www.worldses.org/books/index.html
(2) CD-ROM Proceedings with page numbering as the books with ISBN and ISSN
(3) E-Library (Web Publishing): http://www.wseas.org/online
with Free Access for many collaborating Universities (some of them
are among the 50 first universities on the world) and Free access
to all the WSEAS members and friends
****(4) Extended versions of accepted papers after further additional strict
review can be published in a WSEAS Journals
(The WSEAS Journals participate in the most important citation indices
http://www.worldses.org/indexes/ like Elsevier, Scopus, EI, Compendex, INSPEC,
CSA .... see: www.worldses.org/indexes )
