07/04/2008: "Very Original, Very Good Technically, Very Well Presented, top marks all around..but"

rejected!!!

I received after a long wait the reviews for the abstract I'd submitted for the AHM2008 event. I was buffled to say the least. The organisers of the AHM2008 this year decided to drop the typical format of informally publishing papers on a CD and decided to publish selected papers to a journal. I received top marks for my contrubution but that did not seem enough overcome the politics of the event and my paper was rejected. I submitted a very original piece of work that strongly contributes and advances the field of computer science. I selected an event that is characterised by lack of such contributions as most papers dela with the application of comp sci rather than comp sci itself. I know this because i've been a regular goer to the event since 2003 and eScience in general is characterised by lack of publications that advance the field of computer science. Needless to say that I won't be going to the event again...whatever..
