PURPOSE / HISTORY:
MLMTA'08 is part of WORLDCOMP'08. WORLDCOMP is the largest annual
gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering
and applied computing; it is composed of a number of joint conferences.
Many of these joint conferences are the premier conferences for
presentation of advances in their respective fields. We anticipate
to have over 2,600 attendees from over 80 countries participating in
the 2008 event. MLMTA'08 will be composed of research
presentations, keynote lectures, invited presentations, tutorials,
panel discussions, and poster presentations.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper
(about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
Prof. H. R. Arabnia by March 10, 2008 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). email
submissions in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable. All reasonable
typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format
to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name
of the conference the paper is being submitted to (ie, MLMTA'08).
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author
and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.
Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field who are
independent of the conference program committee. The referees'
evaluations will then be reviewed by one member of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the co-chairs of the track.
The track chairs will make the final decision.
IMPORTANT DATES:
March 10, 2008: Submission of papers (about 5 to 7 pages)
April 7, 2008: Notification of acceptance
April 28, 2008: Camera-Ready papers and Registration due
July 14-17, 2008: The 2008 International Conference on
Machine Learning; Models, Technologies, and
Applications (MLMTA'08)

LOCATION OF CONFERENCE:
MLMTA will be held in the Monte Carlo hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA (with any overflows at other near-by hotels). This is a mega
hotel with excellent conference facilities and over 3,000 rooms.
It is minutes from the airport with 24-hour shuttle service to and
from the airport. This hotel has many recreational attractions,
including: spa, pools, sunning decks, Easy River, wave pool,
lighted tennis courts, nightly shows, a number of restaurants, ...
The negotiated room rate for conference attendees is very reasonable.
The hotel is within walking distance from most other attractions.
