Preface
This book contains important selected papers from WSEAS Conferences organized in the
University of Cambridge (UK), University of Harvard (USA), Massachusetts Institute of
Technology -- MIT (USA), China Jiliang University (China), Beijing Jiaotong University
(China), Univ. Politecnica of Bucharest (Romania), Technical University of Sofia (Bulgaria),
Tianjin University of Technology and Education (China), Zhejiang Univ. of Technology (China),
University of Alcala, Madrid (Spain), University of Cantabria, Santander (Spain), Budapest Tech
(Hungary), University of La Laguna (Spain), Politehnica University of Timisoara (Romania)
The contents of this Book will be sent to the WSEAS collaborating indices after the conference:
www.worldses.org/indexes
The contents of this Book are also published in CD-ROM. Both will be sent to the WSEAS
collaborating indices after the conference: www.worldses.org/indexes
The friendliness and openness of the WSEAS conferences, adds to their ability to grow by
constantly attracting young researchers. The WSEAS Conferences attract a large number of well-
established and leading researchers in various areas of Science and Engineering as you can see
from http://www.wseas.org/reports. Your feedback encourages the society to go ahead as you
can see in http://www.worldses.org/feedback.htm
Expanded and enhanced versions of papers published in this conference proceedings are also
going to be considered for possible publication in one of the WSEAS journals that participate in
the major International Scientific Indices (Elsevier, Scopus, EI, ACM, Compendex, INSPEC,
CSA .... see: www.worldses.org/indexes) these papers must be of high-quality (break-through
work) and a new round of a very strict review will follow. (No additional fee will be required for
the publication of the extended version in a journal). WSEAS has also collaboration with several
other international publishers and all these excellent papers of this volume could be further
improved, could be extended and could be enhanced for possible additional evaluation in one of
the editions of these international publishers.
Finally, we cordially thank all the people of WSEAS for their efforts to maintain the high
scientific level of conferences, proceedings and journals.
