CISSE 2010 provides a virtual forum for presentation and discussion
of the state-of the-art research on computers, information and systems
sciences and engineering. CISSE 2010 is the sixth conference of the
CISSE series of e-conferences. CISSE is the World's first
Engineering/Computing and Systems Research E-Conference. CISSE 2005 was
the first high-caliber Research Conference in the world to be completely
conducted online in real-time via the internet. In 2005, CISSE received
255 research paper submissions and the final program included 140
accepted papers, from more than 45 countries. Last year, CISSE 2009
received more than 500 submissions and the final program included 210
accepted papers, from more than 80 countries. The virtual conference
will be conducted through the Internet using web-conferencing tools,
made available by the conference. Authors will be presenting their
PowerPoint, audio or video presentations using web-conferencing tools
without the need for travel. Conference sessions will be broadcast to
all the conference participants, where session participants can interact
with the presenter during the presentation and/or during the Q&A
slot that follows the presentation. This international conference will
be held entirely on-line. The accepted and presented papers will be made
available and sent to the authors after the conference both on a DVD
(including all papers, PowerPoint presentations and audiopresentations)
and as a book publication. Springer, the official publisher for CISSE,
published the 2009 proceedings in 2 books. Conference participants -
authors, presenters and attendees - only need an internet connection and
sound available on their computers in order to be able to contribute
and participate in this international ground-breaking conference. The
on-line structure of this high-quality event will allow academic
professionals and industry participants to contribute their work and
attend world-class technical presentations based on rigorously refereed
submissions, live, without the need for investing significant travel
funds or time out of the office. The concept and format of CISSE is
ground-breaking. The PowerPoint presentations, final paper manuscripts
and time schedule for live presentations over the web had been available
for weeks prior to the start of the conference for all registrants, so
that the participants can choose the presentations they want to attend
and think about questions that they might want to ask. The live audio
presentations were also recorded and are part of the permanent CISSE
on-line archive - accessible to all registrants- which also includes all
the papers, PowerPoint and audio presentations. Potential non-author
conference attendees who cannot make the on-line conference dates are
encouraged to register, as the entire joint conferences will be archived
for future viewing. The CISSE conference audio room provides superb
audio even over low speed internet connections, the ability to display
PowerPoint presentations, and cross-platform compatibility (the
conferencing software runs on Windows, Mac, and any other operating
system that supports Java). In addition, the conferencing system allowed
for an unlimited number of participants, which in turn granted us the
opportunity to allow all CISSE participants to attend all presentations,
as opposed to limiting the number of available seats for each session.
