The organizer of this conference is Hamid Arabnia http://www.cs.uga.edu/~hra a professor from University of Georgia, USA. The primary goal of this conference is to collect registration fee by accepting all submitted papers. Several fake papers were published in the conference proceedings. He already earned millions of dollars from the registration fee and is using part of the money for anti-Christmas greetings campaign. http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com has additional information on this campaign. He recently started another new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money http://www.americancse.org
Hamid Arabnia failed to reveal the reviews and reviewers' information for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests and challenges. The reason for his failure is there were no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research community for more than a decade by announcing that each draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him to publish these details at the conference website. Where are these experts? Where are these reviews?
He pays tens of thousands of dollars and brings keynote speakers and project his conference as a great one. He lists the names of current and former keynote speakers on the front page of the conference and use those names as baits to attract paper submissions from innocent researchers. He always conducts the conferences in the “sin city” to attract people who prefer “other” activities.
DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and displayed an explicit message; The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing of this conference series. Visit http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html as a sample.
He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia name, and university of Georgia email address from the conference’s contact page because the University has banned him from doing that. He is running the conference behind the scenes and there is no coordinator or general chair listed for this conference.
Almost every week (until the conference date is so close), Hamid Arabnia updates the conference website with things like this: You are invited to submit a "Late Breaking Paper", "Position Paper", "Abstract/Poster Paper" or “Abstract of Thesis or Dissertation” for consideration, etc. He wants more papers because each paper generates around 500 US dollars in to his pocket.

Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop this conference from cheating innocent researchers.
