"I have been to two Wessex Institute conferences. Seeing the quality of the presentations my guess is that any abstract will be accepted. They are fairly lightweight conferences held in interesting places in the world. By attending the conferences I have made some interesting contacts. I have some extra publications that look OK, at least on the surface. The conferences are not academically rigorous, they are expensive, they are very small and they consequently do not have the leading scholars attending them. They do appeal to people who are trying to make their mark, because you do get a seemingly attractive publication (book chapter) out of them. It does seem to me that they are a money making ruse for the owner of the institute (Carlos Brebbia)that is succesful because of the academic imperative to publish. I won't go to another one. There are many more reputable conferences to choose from other than those put on by Wessex Institute."

Many people established some web pages and the advertize them as Scientific Societies, but they aren't.
Examples? IARIA, IRAST, HIGHSCI, IACSIT, grs-association.org, AICIT
They are not scientific societies, but simply web pages of some owners like Petr Dini, Nagib Callaos, etc. They have as Patron the IEEE Fake Publications. Their conferences are full of garbage papers because theis "conferences" do not include any real review of the junk papers that they use to collect

Next time that somebody will claim that he has many publications in IEEE,

Dear Colleagues

Next time that somebody will claim that he has many publications in IEEE,
next time that somebody will send you an advertizement for an IEEE conference or special journal issue,
next time that you will tell you something for IEEE,
REMEMBER these stories:

1) Fake Paper accepted in IEEE/IFIP EUC 2010, Hong Kong, December 11-13, 2010.
Details http://netdriver.blogspot.com/2010/06/who-others-have-accepted-bogus-texts-in.html

2) Fake Paper in IEEE IARIA Conference

15---30) See below

Do you want more links?
Do you want University Web Servers, University URLs?

YES

Many Universities consider that many IEEE Conferences are garbage. Some of them consider that even in the IEEE Journals the review is quite ridiculous and has only to do with your public relations in IEEE and its conferences or if you have put as co-author
some important editor of IEEE

See these link and examine the word: unrefereed

Because if this is not junk meeting, what is junk meeting?
So, the IEEE SSCI2011 is a bogus conference that uses SPAM advertisement
invading our PCs almost every day.
I wonder if these all fake symposia is a trick of the organizers
or if they will be held really.

A new IEEE Pseudo-Conference ***** An IEEE fake conference *********** URGENT! Protest the Turkish Microwave Event in Illegal so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University”

CURRENT STATUS

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE a worldwide professional organization
incorporated in New York State, with offices in Washington DC and around the world,
is organizing a new IEEE Pseudo-Conference
cooperating with the so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University”
a pseudo-entity built on the land stolen from Greek-Cypriots by the brutal Turkish-military invasion in 1974.

*WHAT YOU CAN DO

Please help us send a loud and clear message to Mr. Pedro Ray,
IEEE President and CEO. By continuing its relationship with the so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University,”
IEEE abets and perpetuates a blatant violation of international law as well as a transgression of basic human rights.
Therefore urge IEEE to cancel this cooperation and stand for justice by publicly signing our petition calling for the
arrest of Kenan Akin, who is wanted for the murder of peaceful Greek-Cypriot demonstrator Solomos Solomou.

It has come to our attention that IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
is cooperating in sponsoring an upcoming bogus conference on “Microwaves” in the so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University”:

PLEASE SEE: http://www.mms.ncc.metu.edu.tr/


The puppet state which Turkey has set up in occupied Cyprus referred to as the so-called “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” or “TRNC” has been declared "legally invalid" by the United Nations Security Council in resolutions 541(1983) and 550(1984) which also call upon all states not to assist this illegal entity in any way, therefore your “symposium” and any cooperation with the so-called "Eastern Mediterranean University" which operates in violation of Cyprus and European Union law and contrary to these resolutions is illegal.
The so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University” operates illegally from buildings and lands which were stolen from Greek Cypriot owners who were forcibly displaced by Turkish forces in 1974 and have not been allowed to return in violation of numerous judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and over 100 resolutions of the UN Security Council and General Assembly passed since the illegal Turkish invasion, including resolution 550(1984) which demand this property is returned to its original Greek Cypriot owners. This land and property was formerly the Center for Higher Studies of Ammochostos (known as Saveriades K.L.S.L. College) and its legal owners have applied to the European Court of Human Rights for it to be returned (Saveriades v. Turkey, Case16160/90).
Under Cyprus and EU law the use or exploitation of land or property belonging to Greek Cypriots, without their permission is a criminal offence and carries a two-year prison sentence and a heavy fine. The judgments of the Cyprus courts are enforceable in all EU member states and international arrest warrants can be issued for the arrest of anyone illegally uses or exploiting Greek Cypriot property including members and officials of IEEE.
Here are some more points IEEE should be aware of, and you should make your members aware of:

(1) The so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University” has ties to international terrorism, a group calling itself “We are Young Turkish Muslims” is active on the grounds, and the site is not far from the illegally occupied port of Famagusta. It from these grounds that the flotilla to Gaza sailed which has made international headlines recently. According to the Washington Post (Turkey's Erdogan bears responsibility in flotilla fiasco

Saturday, June 5, 2010; A12) “All of the violence occurred aboard the Turkish ferry Mavi Marmara, and all of those who were killed were members or volunteers for the Islamic "charity" that owned the ship, the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH). The relationship between Mr. Erdogan's government and the IHH ought to be one focus of any international investigation. The foundation is a member of the "Union of Good," a coalition that was formed to provide material support to Hamas and that was named as a terrorist entity by the United States in 2008.”

(2) The so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University” is responsible for producing an industry of denial in order to falsify the historical record of atrocities perpetrated by the Turkish terrorist organizations Volgan and TMT on the Greek-Cypriot people , See “Greek Cypriot atrocities” http://gundem.emu.edu.tr/subat2006/english/tony2.htm

(3) Universities operating in the occupied part of Cyprus are not under effective control of the government of Cyprus. They have not been registered or accredited by the Ministry of Education and Culture and their academic accreditations and certificates are not recognized internationally. These so-called “universities” use properties which are owned by persons holding title under the law of the Republic of Cyprus and who have been unlawfully excluded from their property.

(4) The so-called “TRNC” regime is a bandit pseudo-state and a base for Turkey’s deep state. As an unofficial “off-shore” hub for the Turkish military, the illegal regime is heavily involved in narcotics trafficking and other illicit activities. I.e. , the former “Minister of Agriculture” Kenan Akin is wanted for the public murder of Greek-Cypriot Solomos Solomou, and has been captured in Turkey for heroin smuggling but subsequently was released, despite the Interpol warrant issued for his arrest.
By continuing its relationship with the so-called “Eastern Mediterranean University,”
IEEE abets and perpetuates a blatant violation of international law as well as a transgression of basic human rights.
I therefore urge you to cancel this cooperation and stand for justice by publicly signing our petition calling for the arrest of Kenan Akin,
who is wanted for the murder of peaceful Greek-Cypriot demonstrator Solomos Solomou.

Sincerely,

(Your Name, City, State, Country)
