Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science
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.
Is this just spam? It certainly has that feel about it.. On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 12:12 AM, <eliswilson@hushmail.com> wrote:

Sorry, I was being prejudiced. The general tone of the message, and the grammatical mistakes made me think this might have been an attempt to sell me performance enhancing drugs or something.

FWIW. I consider this spam. If for no other reason I have received it before on Python lists and today I got 6 copies due to being on multiple lists. The sender also uses a throwaway anonymous e-mail address. Dougal

I agree, I felt it was spam, not only because it was unsolicted mail, but also because it makes difficult to verify accusations from an anonymous account without any reference to sources. MBS

It is irrelevant whether it is genuine or not, the message is completely off-topic for this forum, and should not have been posted here. It looks like someone has got really worked up about something (rightly or wrongly), and decided to tell the entire work about it (definitely wrong). That's my take, anyhow.

Interesting. Agree it is roughly on-topic, It's doesn't seem to be a rogue or fraudulent email. But also it does sound like it's unsolicited bulk mail. I'd rather leave it up to a Bayesian filter to decide if that all means it's spam or not. ;-) On 1 May 2013 09:32, Thomas Morton <morton.thomas@googlemail.com> wrote:

Seeing as this comes from a hushmail.com account (anonymous service I believe), and says some not very nice things about a particular individual I think it can be taken with a pinch of salt. Academic conferences don't make mega-bucks, even if you ran a corrupt one you'd have to offer something else along with it (visas for entry). Which would get you noticed by the authorities pretty quickly. If you are going to make these kind of claims against someone you either need to have a good reason to hide your name or you publish and be damned. Mr Arabnia's side of the story seems a lot more plausible. http://www.redandblack.com/news/professor-deals-with-elaborate-cyber-attack/...
