[Ncr-Python.in] Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

April 30, 2013

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 richer. After that, we received few reminders from WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. This fake paper is different from the two fake papers already published (see https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump4 for details) in WORLDCOMP. We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts of participating in WORLDCOMP. DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers about WORLDCOMP. The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever! Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is money making business, using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and threatens the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. Prof. Hamid Arabnia makes a lot of tricks. For example, he appeared in a newspaper to fool the public, claiming him a victim of cyber-attack (see Item 8 in Section 5 of above website). Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMP’13 is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! We ask Prof. Hamid Arabnia to publish all reviews for all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also ask him to look at the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 and respond if he has any professional values. Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities at http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com Search Google using the keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.

[Ncr-Python.in] [HELP] QUERIES RELATED TO PYTHON
by hiharry danny April 24, 2013

I have Python 2.5.4 installed on windows platform ..(win xp) ...and in the installation folder there is a folder named Tcl(Tool Command Language) which contains subfolders like Tk, Tix etc ..the version of tcl is 8.4 .The default gui standard of python is through Tkinter module and when this module is used the calls are made to the Tcl embedded interpreter to execute the code. So, is it for this reason Tcl is embedded in python or for anything else ? If i haven't installed tcl separately, what are the ways to access Tcl interpreter other than using ELmer and Using Tkinter module ,Tcl interpreter can be invoked using Tkinter.Tcl(). Can wish or telsh be for such ? import Tkinter a = Tkinter.Tcl() result = a.eval(' puts "hello, world" ') TclError: can not find channel named "stdout" But still it doesn't work, giving error why ? And one more thing when i type dir('Tkinter') or any other module name to display it's contents , why does it always show the same thing every time which is as follows ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill']

[Ncr-Python.in] [HELP] QUERIES RELATED TO PYTHON

I am trying to develop an algorithm for a combinatorial optimization. The problem consists of a graph network with nodes and connected arcs. In this algorithm I have to choose an optimal combination of nodes out of all the nodes in the graph. The successive nodes are selected as entries in the list using a random search technique. Successive nodes share a precedence relationship. In each iteration of the algorithm I generate a combination of a subset of nodes chosen randomly from the whole node-set, as a list. In the same loop I carry out a modification of the generated list and calculate the objective value associated with this . A particular generated list in any loop will give rise to a single modified list. Now I do not want same list to be generated again and again, so I maintain a super-list of generated lists and check the membership of each new list in this super-list. I restart the loop if same list appears again in the algorithm. As I already said the original list gets modified within an iteration. The problem is that although I append the super-list with the original list before modification, as soon as I modify this original list the list added to the super-list also changes automatically. Thus the iteration goes on even if the same list is generated again and again. I have tried many things: appending a copy of the original list to the super-list (using this command L1 = L[:], so that the new list is stored at a different address, still the same stuff happends. Please help me out here. I did not produce my code here as its too complicated. I can if someone is ready to help... thanks and regards Saurabh

Hi All, In my Django project i have to implement "Login through Google/Facebook" functionality. After searching a lot i found many things on OpenId and oAuth but it was very confusing to me. Though I am familiar with oAuth protocol, i couldn't find any helpful link on how to implement this functionality using that also in Django. If you have any experience on this, please share with me. Thanks -- Regards RAKESH KUMAR http://raakeshkumar.wordpress.com
