The IEEE confessed that many IEEE Conferences are Fake Conferences.
We received it from a girl that was working in IARIA' secretariat.
IEEE Computer Society Press sent it in January 17 (2009) to all the IEEE Sponsored, Co-Sponsored Conferences as well as to conferences
that publish their Proceedings with IEEE CS Press. It is impressive how many IEEE conferences are based on a review on the Abstract!.

date Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 4:03 AMsubject Confidential: Important CPS Message Regarding Fraudulent Machine-Generated Paper Submissions
TO: CPS Clients FROM: Evan Butterfield, Director of Products and Services RE: Fraudulent Machine-Generated Paper Submissions (CONFIDENTIAL) DATE: 16 January 2009
The IEEE Computer Society (CS) has evidence that multiple (IEEE) conferences are receiving machine-generated papers. In two cases, conferences have actually accepted an obviously fraudulent submission. This is a serious issue that threatens the credibility of your conference, the quality of the digital library, and the reputation of both the IEEE and CS. It requires your immediate attention. Please take this opportunity to ensure that your peer review processes are being followed, and adapt to any new requirements that may be communicated by the IEEE or the Computer Society. No conference published by CPS should rely on an abstract review. It is very important that you review carefully the full text of all papers submitted to your conference. If you have already accepted papers, your program committee should review the full text again. While CPS staff will be conducting random spot-checks of conference papers in the publishing queue, we are relying on you to authenticate the content of your proceedings. Any papers that were not actually presented at your conference need to be brought to our attention, and should receive close review. In known cases, the machine-generated origin is obvious from a reading of the first few paragraphs of the paper; the abstracts are human-generated and do not indicate the quality of the paper itself. In the past, papers have been submitted by “Herbert Schlangemann,” but be mindful that the perpetrator of this fraud will change the approach over time. In the event you discover any evidence of questionable content or behavior, please communicate that to us immediately along with an action plan for addressing the problem. Thank you for your help in maintaining the quality of our products.
END OF IEEE EMAIL
I was "invited" to participate in an IEEE Conference and my name
ReplyDeleteappeared in the first announcements. Afterwards I had the chance to
visit the conference to gather more information and to find out what
kind of financial support they would provide me. There was none !
"We don't support invited speakers", was flatly uttered.
Although promises were made to arrange something in the context of
an Erasmus project of theirs, nothing was fulfilled.
Of course I dropped out of the picture but I think my name was kept
in the Program Committee. And yes, I never received one single paper
to review, nor any correspondence since then.
Anyway, what has been now circulated has been well-known for years in
the engineering community. IEEE runs a mostly commercial enterprise,
with all the associated financial needs. Selecting criteria is then
way different from the high-level academic events. Things should be
judged within a different viewpoint and context. On the other hand,
their forte is numerical methods, not graphics, so, yes, they should
have been more careful. If one makes a fair evaluation of all their
publications, including journals, throughout the years, the outcome
will be positive.

While browsing the net, I found two more fake journals in Computer Science:
(1) Computer Science Journals

(2) International Journal of Computer Science Issues (IJCSI) (http://www.ijcsi.org/)

Thanks for the information shared here about the Conference which would more useful for the Students as well as professionals. By the way have you heard about Cloudslam Conference 09 event which is the Global event covering latest innovations and technologies of Cloud Computing. They providing a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with the World's leading experts of Cloud Computing.
