Hosted and Sponsored by
"Politehnica" University of Timisoara - Civil Engineering Faculty
http://www.upt.ro/
The conference is organized with the support of the Romanian Academy (www.academiaromana.ro)
and the Romanian Group of International Association for Bridge and Structural
Engineering IABSE (www.iabse.org)
The WSEAS authors returned back from the 11th International Conference on SUSTAINABILITY in
SCIENCE ENGINEERING (SSE' 09), organized by the Faculty of Civil Engineering
of the Politehnica University of Timisoara, with the best impressions.
One day before the opening of the conference (May 26),
the Members of the Organizing Committee were invited by the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Professor
Gheorghe Lucaci to dinner, at one of the best restaurants of Timisoara.
Among the other banqueters there were three Professors of the Faculty
and the Vice Rector of the University, Professor Sevastean Ianca.
The next morning the Members of the Organizing and Scientificic Committee were invited to the rectorate.
They were guided to the different rooms and the board-room of the rectorate
and finally they had a meeting with the two Vice Rectors
(Professor Sevastean Ianca and Professor Corneliu-Mircea Davidescu)
and other Professors at the Rector?s meeting room. The Rector, Professor Nicolae Robu,
who is also a Member of the Romanian Parliament, could not attend, due to his obligations at the Parliament.
The Members of the Organizing and Scientificic Committee
had a fruitful and very interesting discussion with the
Vice Rectors and the Professors, concerning future
collaborations of WSEAS with the Politehnica University of Timisoara.
Afterwards they were invited by both Vice Rectors to lunch.
After the lunch, the Members of the Organizing and Scientificic Committee
were transferred to the building of the Faculty of Civil Engineering,
where the conference was held.
The opening session was attended by more than 90 persons, among them both vice rectors,
the dean of the Faculty and other Professors and deans from other Universities.
After the opening session, Dr. K. Ntalianis, Member of the Organizing and Scientificic Committee
was asked to give an interview about the conference, at the local TeleU TV station (see below).
The second day (28 May) and the third day (29 May),
the plenary speakers? sessions were attended by more than 100 persons,
among them also undergraduate students.
The plenary sessions were of high quality and the conference program
was followed accurately. Here we should mention the very special banquet
that was offered to all participants, at the end of which the organizers
have ordered a 2-tier celebration cake with the WSEAS logo on it !
In summary, everything was organized very well. Participation of registered authors reached 90%,
all of whom presented their papers. The WSEAS would like to
thank very much the organizing committee for their efforts,
to achieve a very successful conference in all terms and their unique hospitality.
Special thanks to Associate Professor Daniel Dan for arranging several details of the conference.
In the future we wish to continue and extend this collaboration of very high standards.

100% of the WSEAS
Books are in ISI / SCI (Web of Science).
Download them now from
the site of ISI . (Click on the link: List of Conferences
2004-2008 and
download them in an EXCEL
file from the site of ISI). As you can
see
from the site of ISI the criteria for including Books and Proceedings in
ISI are very strict and most of the conferences of older societies are not
in the ISI Index while all the WSEAS books and proceedings are inside ISI / SCI
(Web of Science).
Check it on the site of ISI please, now.

NEW:
The 4 most recent WSEAS journals (WSEAS Trans. on Biology and Biomedicine, WSEAS
Trans. om Fluid Mechanics, WSEAS Trans. on Heat and Mass Transfer, WSEAS Trans.
on Business and Economics) have been accepted in SCOPUS and so all the WSEAS
Journals are now in SCOPUS. All the WSEAS Books, Proceedings and JOURNALS are

From: "Lotfi A. Zadeh" <zadeh@eecs.berkeley.edu>
Dear Prof. Mastorakis
I would like to express my deep appreciation to you and WSEAS people
who sent me messages or called to express their sympathy.
It was, in all, a difficult experience but there are many others
whose experiences were much more difficult than mine.
Just a quick note to let you know that after spending some time at a
rehabilitation center and recuperating at home, I returned to work on Monday,
February 23, 2009.
So far, so good.
Warm regards to all,
Sincerely,
Lotfi

The International Scientific Committee met
during the Conference three times in a restaurant well known for the standards of its
cuisine and its friendly atmosphere. Ways to improve the Conference were
discussed over dinner: in particular the topics were revised and new ones
suggested, as well as a few nominations for new members to the committee being
proposed. Following the meeting, the decision was taken to reconvene the
Conference, and a few locations were suggested. The WSEAS Conference Division
will investigate these so that the dates and location of 2010 can be finalized
as soon as possible.

JOURNALS:
What is the Permanent Procedure for additional Journal publication for a very
small number of High-Quality Papers presented in the WSEAS Conferences (after
the recommendation of Chairmen). So, the authors with accepted & presented
papers received the following e-mail:
We have started now the procedure for the evaluation of the extended versions of
your papers for possible inclusion in the WSEAS journals after new rounds of
review.
INTRODUCTION: You know that our goal is to maintain very strong
international journals, to increase the impact of our beloved WSEAS
Transactions, really top journals as they really are. To this end, we need only
high quality papers, breakthrough works of archival value, i.e. papers that are
well written from any point of view, completed studies (with their numerical
examples or experiments that must be compared with the previous results in the
literature), excellent English language and of course correct WSEAS format. The
papers also must be substantially extended version of the paper that was
presented in the conference (with more than 40% new material). We need papers
that will attract the attention of other scholars citing them increasing our
impact. In the next few years, the WSEAS transactions must be in every academic
library, in every corner of the earth. To this end, we need your high quality
contribution.
HOW TO PROCEED:
a) Check very carefully if your idea is really important, breakthrough in your
field and can appear in a Journal of the quality and the level of the WSEAS
Transactions. If you doubt, do not send it so easily. Your paper must not be
only a good idea. It must be a complete study with theoretical background,
complete bibliographical references; without grammatical and syntactical errors.
For theoretical works: full comparison with previous published papers is
necessary. We need numerical examples, applicability of the method, originality,
novelty and directions for future research. For experimental or computational
works: full comparison with previous published papers is necessary. We need real
experiments with the necessary documentation, while for computational work, we
need full benchmarks. Of course along discussions for the applicability of the
method, originality, novelty and directions for future research.
b) Complete the extended version of your paper and upload it via
http://............... (the full web address was given only to authors who
presented a paper)
c) If your extended version fulfills the paragraph a), then our Editors will
send it to 3 independent Reviewers outside your country. If not, our Editors are
entitled to reject it from this early stage informing you properly. The positive
answer of the 3 reviewers is necessary (attention: 2 yes and 1 no implies NO,
i.e. rejection).
d) Our Editors will collect the reviewers' remarks and will send them again to
you for acceptance/ acceptance after minor revision / acceptance after major
revision / rejection
e) Possibly new rounds of review will be needed.
f) No additional fee is needed in case of acceptance.
http://www.worldses.org/journals/index.html
The final list of the papers must have the approval of our Editors and 3
Reviewers, and of course the Editor-in-Chief of the particular Journal.
We want only authors that presented their papers to complete this web form:
http://............... (the full web address was given only to authors who
presented a paper) So, in this form you will need a password (the password was
given only to the authors who presented a paper).
