Modeling Publications in Academic Conferences

The growing trend towards research constitutes a strong springboard for organizing more and more scientific conferences. The global scientific community, now, recognizes the contribution of conferences to the promotion of research and knowledge. Due to the increasing participation of individuals in organizing events, the environment has become very complex. The organizing committee of the conference is now required to identify and respond to a wide range of determinants, in order to balance the needs and objectives of the conference. The main topic of this research is to study and model the publications of academic conferences. In this paper, we studied and recorded the procedures that are applied to the publications of scientific conferences, which affect the pattern and the success or failure of the conference. Our study deals with conferences of scientific nature, as the participants are highly qualified and recognized academics. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
