Perhaps they will - that would be useful. Someone needs to educate their editorial board on ways to appear to be something other than a "phony conference". Everything about the rhetoric of the message indicates that such is the case. On the other hand, if it is a fraudulent piece of what i call "conference spam", I don't want them to know how to do any better. --elijah On Wed, 18 Jan 2006, Homero Gil de Zuniga wrote:

Maybe someone in the editorial board would like to take the time to reply to the AoIR list about this accusation... PS. Please note that this e-mail is being sent to both the AoIR list and the editorial board of the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics with ISSN: 1690-4524 HGZ
Let's see if someone clarifies this!!! :-)

Am I wrong to think that the whole SciGen thing pretty much killed these off? Cf, http://anthony.liekens.net/index.php/Misc/FakeConferences
I guess not!
