CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

Welcome to the 2016 IAJC/ISAM Conference. The conference committees have strived to present one of the most selective and prestigious conferences of the year.

Prestige:
The conference is organized by six well-known organizations, 15 journals including nine ISI journals, and 29 universities. The conference also has a journal-type review process, ISBN#, an expected high impact factor (IF), and is indexed by many organizations.

Conference Statistics:
The submissions for this conference included 425 abstracts from 118 educational institutions and companies worldwide (multiple submissions from the same authors were not counted). These represented 46 of the 50 U.S. states and 37 countries. After a multi-level review process, only 91 full papers and 29 abstracts were accepted for presentation at the conference and for publication in the conference proceedings. This reflects an acceptance rate of about 28% for both abstracts and full papers (22% for our previous conference), which is one of the lowest acceptance rates of any international conference.

Search for papers/abstracts by author name:
An interactive search engine is provided on our online conference CD so you can search our state-of-the-art proceedings using authors’ names, or you can review and find links to all papers/abstracts within each session under the “sessions” tab.
