<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear Emanuel, Michel, and FIS Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The question risen in your letters (see below) is very
important!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Many conferences announce that the paper accepted in the
conference will be “recommended” or “invited” to any Journal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Usually the result is like one commented by you. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>No guaranties that paper will be published.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Nevertheless, many authors believe in such
announcements.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>And, of course, pay serious registration fees, not taking in
account that they may submit papers without participating in the
conference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>And to receive the same (positive or negative)
result.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I think the correlation between conferences and journals has
to be clearly described – does the journal accept evaluation of the Conference
PC or not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If not, it is not ethically correct to announce
“recommendation” or “invitation”as feature of the conference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear Emanuel,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I have read your paper with great interest. So you have at
least one reader!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>As editor, I have some remarks – really paper is not ready to
be published due to some principal and formatting disadvantages.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>For instance, papers pointed in Bibliography with numbers
7,8,17, and 23, are not cited in the text. I am afraid, that paper 17 is pointed
as 18. But who knows!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In addition, the paper is written as an essay, which is not
acceptable for many journals.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>My principal remark is that only for humans information may be
assumed as text. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It is too limited definition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>What is “information” for bees, bears, cats, dogs, etc.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In addition, Kolmogorov define information quite differently
than you, practically with the same shortcomings as Shannon’s
theory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In conclusion, I want to point that I like your paper because
it concern very important issue. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I recommend to improve it and to submit again to any
journal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>No need to wait (and to pay) for another
conference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Friendly regards</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Dear Emanuel,<BR><BR>An invitation to submit does not mean that the paper
will be published.<BR>Open access (OA) journals publishers send numerous emails
to convince authors to submit.<BR>Sometimes it is done at the occasion of a
conference, and it can be even mentioned on the conference website.<BR>If all
the submitted manuscripts would be published, the quality of the OA journals
would be very poor.<BR>This indeed happens for predatory journals and
publishers, for which almost all manuscripts are published provided that the
authors pay the page charge.<BR>Fortunately, a serious journal have an editor,
and the job of this latter is to decide if submitted manuscripts should be
published or not.<BR>The word "invitation" is also used for conferences.<BR>As
for journals, it just means that you are welcome to submit a contribution, but
without any guarantee that it will be accepted (a true invited contribution is
ususally associated to a funding, at least partial).<BR>When a journal paper is
invited, in the sense that anyway it will be published (possibly after
corrections), it is explicitely mentioned by the editor in his invitation
letter.<BR>In the case of your paper, I do not see any contradiction between the
invitation and the rejection.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR><BR>Michel
