Dear ICCSA 2005 Volume Editors and Conference Co-Chairs:
 
 I regret to inform you that a paper published in the Proceedings of  
 ICCSA 2005 seems to have plagiarized a paper previously published by  
 myself and two coauthors.
 
 The ICCSA paper in question is:
 
 Luca Gatani, Giuseppe Lo Re, and Salvatore Gaglio: An Adaptive  
 Routing Mechanism for Efficient Resource Discovery in Unstructured  
 P2P Networks. In Proceedings of International Conference on  
 Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2005, Part 
 III, p. 39, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3482.

 http://www.springerlink.com/index/VTYNP8A47ANR20FB.pdf
 
 And our paper is:
 
 R. Akavipat, L.-S. Wu, F. Menczer: Small World Networks in  
 Distributed Web Search. Proc. 13th Intl. WWW Conf. Alt. Track Papers  
 and Posters, pp. 396-397, 2004. 
 http://www2004.org/proceedings/docs/2p396.pdf
 
 Ours is a short (poster) paper, nevertheless it was 
 peer-reviewed and  
 published prior to ICCSA. The Gatani et al. paper has the same idea,  
 algorithm (with some parameter explorations), and identical (small- 
 world) evaluation as ours, and even three consecutive sentences that  
 are exact duplicates of our paper:
 
 ---- The duplicate sentences ------------------------------------------
 Our simulator takes a snapshot of the network for every time 
 step. In a time step of the simulator, all of the peers process all of their  
 buffered incoming messages and send all of their buffered outgoing  
 messages. This may include the generation of a local query as 
 well as forwarding and responding to the queries received by other peers.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
We trust that you will do everything in your power to investigate  
this incident and ensure that authors guilty of  plagiarism have  
their papers withdrawn from publications.
 
All the very best,
 
Filippo Menczer
