Yeah, isn't that great! Got an invitation to submit my paper to the GESTS Journal "Transactions on Communications and Signal Processing" (won't link to it). Well, not directly my field, and I never heard of the Journal, but hey, a journal paper, isn't that great...<br />
<br />
Ehhm, not exactly. Actually it seems to be spam. Another collegue got the same invitation last week. And no one heard about the journal. And it really isn't my field. I don't have to do anything with Signal Processing. And why do they want money for printing my article?<br />
<br />
What I was wondering: why didn't they do it some better? With the [http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/about.html AIFB OWL Export] they could have got the machine processable information about the interests of each person at the [[AIFB]]. With a bit of [http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ SPARQLing] they could have gotten tons of information -- fully machine processable! They could have found out that I am not into Signal Processing, but into Semantic Web. Personalizing Spam would be sooo easy. Spam could become so much more time-consuming to filter out, and much more attractive, if those spammers would just harvest [http://www.foaf-project.org/ FOAF-data] and semantic exports. I really am surprised they didn't do that yet.<br />
