[Air-l] CITSA 2006 and conference spam

[Homero Gil de Zuniga]

I tried to attach a personal email I have received from Nagib Callaos,
Editor-in-Chief of JSCI and General Chair of WMSCI 2005 to the AoIR list but
the body was too long for the 10kb limit of the list. I decided to create a
website on geocities and post the response there so everyone can read it.
http://geocities.com/citsa2006/ 
At his point and after evaluating the points they made it is hard to discern
whether this is 1) an emerging journal/conference (as Ulla commented on
AoIR's case few years ago) or 2) a journal/conference scam/spam. 
More food for thought?.
Best,
HGZ

I keep thinking about the first AoIR conference call for papers. The
announcement about that one was circulated on this obscure list originally -
air-l - and the conference was to take place in an out-of-the-way place
(Kansas) and the association didn't have a sophisticated website and wasn't
really well known... Hm. Must have been conference spam ;)
