A new comment uploaded in our blog today:

Important Universities in USA have considered all IEEE Conferences as fake conferences of the perfectly junk publications.
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/denis036/thisweekinevolution/2011/07/would_ieee_really_sponsor_a_fa.html

Disreputable Conferences. Junk Papers are automatically accepted.

You should put up the whole content of annaworld.000space.com like these guys did:

http://academic-spam.blogspot.com/2011/09/dr-john-fisher-fake-figure-of-internet.html

A fake paper was accepted by Nina Ringo's Vienna conference. See

http://viennaconference.blogspot.com/ for details.

A misleading email advertisement of the fake (bogus) WESSEX INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. They advertise all their papers free, but in vain,

A misleading email advertisement of the fake (bogus) WESSEX INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. They advertise that they offer now in their electronic library all the PDFs of the papers free, but this is a big lie! It is a trick!

You have to make a registration in their web site

http://library.witpress.com/pages/register_new.asp?q_o=r&q_rd=

You must give them, your email address!

If you give them your email address ,you will receive unsolicited email on a daily base (very much SPAM for their junk conferences everyday) without any free PDF (they demand 30 Pounds for every PDF).

This is a terrific fraud, big scam.

By googling them as FAKE WESSEX INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, I found also

http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~wp/videa-paper.html

They accepted 4 junk papers from a University in Austria

Enjoy it http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~wp/videa-paper.html

=====================================

This is the advertisement of the bogus WESSEX INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.

Attention: This is a trick to take your email address for further spamming!

Open Access to All Conference Papers

The Wessex Institute of Technology, in its efforts to disseminate the research papers presented at WIT Conferences, has arranged with WIT Press to allow free access and downloads of all papers published from 1993 to the end of 2009.

The Open Access facilities will start immediately and will enable colleagues from all over the world to download papers from the renowned WIT eLibrary http://library.witpress.com.

2nd Case: IEEE has accepted the unreliability and bogusity of its conferences.

The reliable Blog: http://iaria-highsci.blogspot.com reported a very big IEEE black hole (Hole of Junk Publications. Hole that you can send your Bogus/Fake papers.

Super FAKE IEEE Multiconference, The Absolute Bogus Event of IEEE
Our site discovers a new super-fake IEEE super-bogus event.
See the call for paper and admire how the IEEE accepts these bogus events:

Our conclusion: Many Fake IEEE bogus conferences together compose the absolute junk conference.

Suspicious IEEE Chinese Conferences

A colleague was bragging that he had a paper accepted at an international IEEE conference in China. Since IEEE has often been found to support so-called bogus or fake conferences (ones that accept any paper, even those generated by SciGen) and since I was on vacation with internet access and time on my hands, I decided to have a look.

IEEE has a site that can be used to search for conferences, so I looked for conferences in Beijing in 2009. Amazing, there are 23 IEEE conferences this year in Beijing! Okay, China is a large country. I idly flicked through a few of them, when I realized that the contact person for an number of them was given as Prof. Mengqi Zhou.

More research turned him up as Chairman of the IEEE Beijing Section, and 10 of the 23 conferences listed him as the contact. Now I was really curious, so I spent a good bit of time researching the conferences. Some appear to be legitimate - they have a venue listed on their web page, they have a small range of topics listed, there is someone more or less serious-sounding as the contact.

But others are mighty strange indeed. There are dysfunctional web sites, no venues listed. And from October 16-18, 18-20, 21-23 there are three large conferences listed at the Beijing University of Posts and Telekommunications, with a fourth from 6-8 Nov. The contact for all four conferences is the same person, Weining Wang. Three of the four have identical registration prices and registration forms - only the dates and names of the conferences have been changed and are in a different font. The fourth one has a dysfunctional web page. Here is the data that I collected during my research:

Conference, Venue according to IEEE	Dates	URL	Partici- pants	Review time	Reg. Deadline	Price Reg/Page	Comment
2009 IEEE International Conference on Shape Modeling and Applications (SMI), Convention Center, Tsinghua University	26-28 Jun 2009	[1]	150	8 weeks	?	$400	Seems okay, smallish topics, PC online. Program online, Directions to university online
2009 2nd IEEE International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (ICCSIT 2009), Beijing Convention Center	8-11 Aug 2009	[2]	350	?	?	?	No web site any more, just notice that proceedings have been sent to authors already. Contact address is given at a Chinese news/freemail account.

The first author who has 2 papers should pay one registration fee and USD60 per page of the second paper."
2009 IEEE International Conference on Network Infrastructure and Digital Content (IC-NIDC 2009), Academic Communication Center, BUPT	6-8 Nov 2009	[10]	180	3 1/2 weeks	Aug 15	$400 / $50	E-Mail contact Beijing University of Posts and Telekommunications, wnwang@bupt.edu.cn (Weining Wang). Registration form identical to [6] and [7], Registration venue given as Beijing Hotelecom Hotel.

Ms. Weining Wang is listed as the Director of Academic Office, BUPT. She also appears to be the contact for IEEE NLP-EK 2007, IEEE IC-NLP 2005, China-Ireland International Conference on ICT (CIICT2008), the 19th International Teletraffic Congress ITC19, The Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium 2008, ICHS 08, and is Deputy Editor-In-Chief of the Elsevier-published "Journal of China Universities of Posts and Telecommunications". Maybe she is the one in the office that speaks English, but I find this mighty strange.

I believe that the conferences [6], [7] and [10] are bogus conferences. [2], [3], and [8] are questionable.

Am I being paranoid here? I wrote to the IEEE president when I published my blog entry on fake conferences, but received no reply. Comments?

Maybe, this is not a BOGUS Conference, but it bombardizes us with hundred of SPAM email.

Maybe, this is not a BOGUS Conference, but it bombardizes us with hundred of SPAM email.
So, the fakeness of this
is big

However, there are many blatant advertizements of IEEE (junk) conferences on the web,
because IEEE established an Industry of fake conferences
in collaboration with bogus local partners (IARIA, IRAST, HIGHSCI, IARIA, IACSIT, grs-association.org, AICIT,
World Research institutes (!!!) and many others)

in the list of fake conferences, without any hesitation, without any doubt, add the AICIT, although the Creator and Sponsor of these fake conferences is IEEE. As a conclusion, AICIT www.aicit.org does not have any problem. They call their business AICIT today, and tomorrow they will rename it, maybe to AICE, or AICI, or XYZ. The main responsible and the great academic gilty is IEEE. This is the problem, the IEEE fake conference and we speak about IARIA, HIGHSCI, AICIT etc... Several officers of IEEE have confessed in public that they have accepted and published fake papers while the IEEE is a center of fake conferences. Google: "IEEE confess fake conference" . Additonally to this we have many reasons to believe that the following conferences of IEEE are Fake Conferences. For example, some of them have accepted SCIgen Papers or do not have Scientific Committee. The following conferences have the same features a), b), c) d) as the previous fake conferences of AICIT (IEEE). Maybe, the organizers are the same and run them form other web sites. They use to use the name of IEEE in the title of their conferences, i.e. they do not say: 3rd International Conference on, but 3rd IEEE International Conference on, that means that the IEEE has direct relation and full (100%) responsibility of these fake conferences:

E-MEDISYS 2010

Third International Conference of E-Medical Systems
Technically co-sponsored IEEE Morocco
Fez, Morocco, May 12-14, 2010
http://www.setit.rnu.tn/E-medisys/

== E-MEDISYS 2010 PRESENTATION =============================================

E-Medisys is a new international conference, very innovative, on the topic of the telemedicine.

This conference was born out of collaboration of three teams of research divided between Sfax (Tunisia), Besanηon (France) and Fez (Morocco).

E-Medisys, from its topic interdisciplinary, has the role to bring together the researchers, and the industrialists, who are actors of the telemedicine as well from the medical point of view as from the data- processing point of view.
It is what makes a single event of it: the meeting of the actors who will allow treating the telemedicine “from beginning to end”. This conference will be held in French and English. Papers will be selected by a mixed reading panel gathering of the specialists to re-elect in the field of the telemedicine.

== TOPICS ==================================================================

The topics of this conference are voluntarily opened in order to support the participation of many teams (researchers, teachers, engineers, industrialists and students). A broad place will be reserved for the new ideas, with not yet succeeded work, original work positioning clearly compared to what exists.

Here a non exhaustive list of the topics:

Medical Information Management

Patient Information
Data Archiving
Information Systems
Data Bases Multimedia
Evaluation of the Information Systems of Health
Security
NTIC and Health





Medical Imagery

Data-processing Applications for Medical Imagery
Segmentation, Rebuilding 3D
Computer Graphics
Signal Treatments
Image, Compression, Coding and Encoding





Remote Telemedical Plateforms

Collaborative Work, Collaborative Virtual Environments
Remote Monitoring
Telediagnosis, Teleconsulting
E-health
Information Systems Integrated of Health for the Shared and Collaborative Care





Ergonomics of the Interfaces

Remote Human Computer Interfaces
Virtual Reality
Increased reality
Increased Reality Safety in Distributed Multimedia Applications

Wireless Adhoc Networks (MANET)
Personal Networks (PN), Personal Area
Networks (PAN), WIMAX
Ubiquity and Networks without Wire
Networks of Health
Sensor Networks: Patients Steady, Patient with Handicap
Mobile Care Patient, Mobility
Security in Networks




== IMPORTANT DATES =========================================================

Paper submission: DEADLINE For Submissions, February 1, 2010
Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2010
Final manuscript due: March 15, 2010
Main conference: May 12, 2010







== CONFERENCE'S PLACE ======================================================



Fez was the capital of Morocco for all together more than 1000 years, home of the oldest university of the country and the leading cultural and religious centre. Fez is also the home of the oldest a largest medieval city in the world, a city that is almost unchanged through the modern ages and still most definitely alive.



Fez was founded in 789 at a place between the mountains where the river was flushing by.

History has provided the city with long periods of hardship, but Fez has never died. Today it has its own culture, pride, art and even cuisine.

Some other people agree with us!

Searching in the internet we have found this web page

http://fakeconference.blogspot.com/

They say some interestig things and we copied and pasted here:

This page outlines the differences between good conferences, bad conferences and academic scams.

This page outlines the differences between good conferences, bad
conferences and academic scams.

The purpose of conferences

Why would anyone organise a conference?

To promote the exchange of ideas in a particular area

• To promote networking by researchers
  
• To generate funds for a non-profit organisation
  
• To focus attention on a particular area
  
• To promote the organisers' reputations
  
• To make a profit for the organisers
  
  

Why attend a conference?

• To learn about the area
  
• To interact with other researchers
  
• To add a publication to your CV
  
• To have a holiday somewhere nice

Most of the motivations above are generally altruistic, but the last two in
each list are not. Promoting the organisers' reputations and adding to your CV
are not necessarily bad; this is how academia works. However, these four
motivations result in a lot of low-quality work being published.

Quality: If your motivation for attending a confernce is to have a holiday or to add (uncritically) to your CV the quality of the conference won't matter much. In
contrast, if you attend for the other reasons quality is a major concern.
Imagine attending a conference and not making any useful contacts or coming
across any good ideas: you would not have not gained much!

You might still consider this conference worthwhile because you got a
publication out of it. After all, having publications may help impress your
supervisor or thesis examiners or potential employers. Publications will also
help your career as a scientist: you will be more likely to get funding, to be
promoted, to attract students, to be invited to give talks and so on. However,
quality is vital and there is a huge range in the quality of conferences and
journals. These days it's possible to get anything published. In fact, in the
famous SCIgen affair a
computer-generated nonsense paper was accepted by a conference. As a result,
publications in themselves mean little; what matters is their quality. In fact,
if you publish in low-quality conferences, or, worse, junk conferences, you will
find this hurts your reputation more that it helps.

Spam and junk conferences

A spam conference (or spamference) is one which is advertised with
junk mail (spam). It is genuinely difficult to reach a large number of
researchers in a particular area to advertise a conference, and some organisers
of legitimate conferences are tempted into using junk mail. These conferences
tend, however, to be lower quality ones, or new (or one-off) events which need
to boost their attendence in this way. Well-established, high-quality
conferences are well-known in their area and don't need to resort to junk mail.
These are the conferences which count most on your CV.

The conferences which send the most junk mail tend to be junk conferences,
which have little or no academic value and are only run to make a profit for the
oraganisers. Some researchers participate to get a free holiday and a
publication but others participate in good faith, not realising the nature of
the event. The point of this page is to ensure that you are not one of hem.

Where the money goes

Most conferences charge a fee for attendance which is put toward the cost of
running the event. Some events also raise money for a non-profit organisation
with which they are affiliated. The Association for the Advancement of
Artificial Intelligence is an example of such an organisation, and it is a
legitimate one, although I don't know whether fees from their conferences
contribute to the association.

Some conferences, especially larger ones, subcontract some of the
non-academic organisational work. Many conferences, however, are organised
entirely by volunteers, although there may be concessions to the main organisers
such as free registration. Invited speakers generally get free registration, a
contribution toward travel costs, and possibly an honorarium (a small payment).
The details of these arrangements are not usually publicised and there is the
potential for dubious use of funds, but as each incarnation of a particular
conference series is generally organised by different people each year it is
difficult for misuse of funds to persist.

Although I see no reason why for-profit conferences cannot be of good quality
there are a number of junk conferences which are run solely for profit, and
where the quality of work is given little or no consideration.

Warning signs

Here are some warning signs but note that bona fide conferences may show some of
these warning signs; in particular many reputable conferences are held in nice
places.

• The conference is advertised using spam
  
• The conference has the same chair every year. (Bona fide conferences may
  have the same people on an executive committee for many years, but probably
  not the same chair.)
  
• The call for papers emphasises repeatedly that it is a "reputable"
  conference with many "famous experts"
  
• The call for papers, and subject of the conference, is very general
  
  
• The chair has chaired dozens of other conferences but probably has few
  good publications and does not work at a reputable institution
  
• The conference is in a very nice place
  
• You are invited by a stranger to organise a special session, or to
  undertake some other activity for the conference which would normally
  require some stature in the area, when you in fact do not have this stature.
  For example if you are a PhD student it's unlikely you will be asked by a
  stranger to take a high-profile role. Having said that, invitations to serve
  on a programme committee are not that uncommon or that high-profile, and
  advertising for special session proposals is fine as long as they're not
  automatically accepted.
  http://fakeconferences.blogspot.com/
  

Open access journal scams

Recently open-access journals
have begun to appear. These journals provide free access to readers on the web
and charge authors to publish. This is a big improvement over the traditional
model of subscribing to journals since it makes results freely available to all.
However, it allows for a new type of scam.

In August 2008 I was invited to join the editorial board of a journal, which
is normally quite an honour. I work in the area of the journal but didn't
recognise the editor and decided to check him out on the web before replying. It
soon turned out this was an open access journal scam, which was new to me. The
"publisher" was in fact a single individual at a private address who was
attempting to recruit academics to serve on his various editorial boards in an
attempt to make them look legitimate and so attract others to the editorial
boards and to submit papers. This is what a major publisher does when setting up
a new journal, but a major publisher has the resources to do this properly
(remember the section on quality!). This individual appeared to be working on
his own and apparently is not affiliated with any insitution and doesn't even
have a degree. This is something like trying to pass yourself off as a doctor
without having gone to medical school.

Dear Mario,

I believe that many IEEE (sponsored or co-sponsored) conferences are quite bogus
because they have published a lot of fake papers from SCIgen automatic machine
or papers of low quality...
We must be careful, otherwise our massive policy for giving the name of IEEE to strange
organizers will harm the reputation of IEEE conference, if we have kept any rank of such an old reputation.

The IEEE has completely dissolved

The IEEE has completely dissolved. It is possible any idiot who wants to make money
to apply IEEE sponsorship and organize a quite crappy congress. The IEEE has understood, but does not take measures. Check out the papers
http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/jrogers/complexity/accepted.html
and take careful note of the information about this IEEE bogus Computational Complexity conference

It is another FAKE IEEE conference (fake IEEE spamference) this time on Computational Complexity.


The organizers are academic criminals.

Do NOT send these criminals any money.

Please send this warning on to your networks.

Many young people have been defrauded lately - and we must work together to defeat such efforts.

Use extreme caution when applying for conferences advertised by organizations unknown to you.

What a Shame for the IEEE Computational Complexity Conference!

* two new bogus papers have been accepted in the IEEE Computational Complexity Conference!


Extractors for varieties ??????????by Zeev Dvir !!!

and

Extractors for Low-Weight Affine Sources ??????? byAnup Rao!!!


The papers are absolutely fake papers.
What a Shame for the IEEE Computational Complexity Spamference!


Conclusion: The IEEE has completely dissolved

fraudulent papers in a fraudulent conference (sponsored by IEEE)

Our organization www.anti-plagiarism.org has just found a new post

http://iaria-highsci.blogspot.com/2009/05/dear-president-of-ieee.html

seems to be correct.

Please take careful note of the information below
about this IEEE Computational Complexity conference that was a fraudulent conference

It is one more IEEE conference that accepted 2 bogus papers

The organizers are academic criminals. Do NOT send these criminals any money.Please send this warning on to your networks.

Many young people have been defrauded lately - and we must work together to defeat such efforts.

Use extreme caution when applying for conferences advertised by organizations unknown to you.What a Shame for the IEEE Computational Complexity Conference! two new bogus papers have been accepted in the http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/jrogers/complexity/accepted.html
BOGUS PAPER 1: Extractors for varieties ??????????by Zeev Dvir !!!and
BOGUS PAPER 2: Extractors for Low-Weight Affine Sources ??????? byAnup Rao

The papers are absolutely fake papers and the organizers built a fraudulent conference!
What a Shame for the fraudulent IEEE Computational Complexity Conference!

Conclusion: the IEEE Conferences are Fraudulent. Fraudulent conference announcements / Annonces de conférences frauduleuses

See my photo.
I protested in my University!

I did not know that IEEE Conferences were fraudulent conferences.I put today in the Google: IEEE fake and IEEE bogus
and I found very interesting results

It seems to me that the majority of the IEEE fraudulent Conferences
are organized by individuals in a franchise system

This IEEE fraudulent franchising business system destroyes the Science
So, I am not an IEEE member though that I am Professor in an electrical and computer
engineering department in France.

We know that IEEE gives its name and logo to many conference organizers that wants
to make money from innocent or not so innocent colleagues.
So, we have ranked the IEEE fraudulent conferences with blatant spam (see below) as
totally bogus conferences.

In France, IEEE is considered as premium fraudulent business.
The problem with the IEEE fraudulent conferences is that the IEEE does not have the control in the paper review. So, IEEE fraudulent has received a very bad name in France, in Germany and in Austria, but also in many other European Countries.

We prefer to publish in Elsevier and Springer Verlag, because they have good control in the Review of the papers.

So, if you search the internet via Google or via Wikipedia you will find many fake papers, many junk works, many machine generated texts that have been accepted in IEEE conferences without any review.

The most fantastic paper was the paper "A Statistical Method For Women That Can Help Our Sexual Education" in the IEEE fraudulent Conference organized by IARIA

It seems that the IARIA - IEEE did not open the pdf file at all and granted
the letter of acceptance to the authors that were authors from Germany

So, the letter of acceptance of this crappy IEEE conference
has been published in
http://iaria-highsci.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-have-letter-of-acceptance-fantastic.html
The letter is genuine.
The title of the paper was "A Statistical Method For Women That Can Help Our
Sexual Education"
This is not only one case of hundreds of IEEE bogus conferences that are organized
every year.

After this SHAME of IEEE, I wonder why IEEE uses to send us this Spam.
With this bad IEEE, i recommend my friends to resign from any IEEE activity

5.2 Particle Swarm Optimization for Fast Watermarking of Digital Images
Posted by: Eric Granger (eric.granger@etsmtl.ca)
Date submitted: Apr. 20th, 2009
Content:
Program: Ph.D.
Funding:
A grant of CDN$19,500/year, renewable for a maximum duration of 3 years
Start date:
May 2009
Project description:
The production of digitized document images via high speed scanning allows
for the dissemination of information over a wide range of distributed
systems. Assuring the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity for a
massive amount of document images remains a considerable challenge for many
industrial applications. Overall, this project seeks to investigate, design
and validate intelligent and cost-effective systems for securing massive
quantities of digitized document images. New approaches for bio-watermarking
have been proposed that integrate new techniques for watermarking and bio-
cryptography.
The PhD candidate will focus on one of the fundamental problems of bio-
watermarking -- the optimization of watermarking parameters according to one
or more criteria. The advent of a new class of evolutionary algorithms based
on Dynamic Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) allows adapting watermarking
parameters rapidly, on the fly, according to a document's inherent
properties. The candidate will study, propose and design specialized
algorithms based on PSO for the dynamic optimization of digital watermarking
parameters. These algorithms will be validated using a Linux-based
experimental platform and industrial data bases. In this study, the
solutions under investigation will be validated on document images that
correspond to bank cheques that have been digitized into bitonal and grey
scale formats.
This project will be performed at TS, in the Laboratoire d'imagerie, de
vision et d'intelligence artificielle (LIVIA), under the supervision of
Profs. Robert Sabourin et ric Granger. Research will evolve in partnership
with BancTec Inc. (http://www.banctec.com/), a leading provider of payment
processing, document and content processing and IT services. They will
provide expertise in the area of high throughput document scanning, as well
as massive industrial data bases. Financing for this project has been
provided through a Strategic Projects Grant from the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for the project entitled A
Fast Evolutionary Approach for Fast Bio-Watermarking of Document Images.
Expertise:
PhD candidates for this project should have a background in one or more of
the following disciplines: evolutionary algorithms, mono and multi-objective
optimization, parallel processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision.

Content:
ADVANCES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR PRIVACY PROTECTION AND SECURITY
edited by Agusti Solanas & Antoni Martnez-Ballest (Rovira i Virgili University, Spain)
In this book, we aim to collect the most recent advances in artificial intelligence techniques (i.e.
neural networks, fuzzy systems, multi-agent systems, genetic algorithms, image analysis, clustering,
etc), which are applied to the protection of privacy and security. The symbiosis between these fields
leads to a pool of invigorating ideas, which are explored in this book.
On the one hand, individual privacy protection is a hot topic and must be addressed in order to
guarantee the proper evolution of a modern society. On the other, security can invade individual
privacy, especially after the appearance of new forms of terrorism. In this book, we analyze these
problems from a new point of view.

"Schlangemann" attacked again the IEEE Conferences in May 2009 and published 3 fake papers in an IEEE pseudo-paper accepted at IEEE again (May 2009)

Fake paper accepted at IEEE

I couldn't lay my hands on the complete text
but here is an excerpt :

We proved in this paper that the acclaimed real-time algorithm for the evaluation of the Internet by Williams and Kobayashi is Turing complete, and Toe is no exception to that rule. We constructed a game-theoretic tool for synthesizing Scheme (Toe), which we used to verify that the location-identity split and superblocks can synchronize to achieve this ambition.

And, here is the summary:
Recent advances in cooperative technology and classical communication are based entirely on the assumption that the Internet and active networks are not in conflict with object-oriented languages. In fact, few information theorists would disagree with the visualization of DHTs that made refining and possibly simulating 8 bitarchitectures a reality, which embodies the compelling principles of electrical engineering. In this work we better understand how digital-to-analog converters can be applied to the development of e-commerce.

Also:

A prankster who submitted a computer-generated research paper to the International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering discovered that not only was his fake paper accepted - its "author" is to chair a panel.

The prankster, known only by his pseudonym Schlangemann (which he used to submit the paper), created the paper using SCIGen - the automatic CS paper generator. His pseudonym is taken from a German movie called Der Schlangemann.

"Schlangemann" attacked again the IEEE Conferences in May 2009
and published 3 fake papers in an IEEE pseudo-Conference in Australia
