FOREWORD:
We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
federated
Congress that this conference is part of. The congress includes 20
major
tracks ( http://americancse.org/events/csce2017/conferences ) composed
of: 105 technical, research, and panel sessions as well as a number of
keynote lectures and tutorials; all will be held simultaneously, same
location and dates: July 17-20, 2017. Last year, the Congress had
attracted
speakers/authors and participants affiliated with over 176 different
universities (including many from the top 50 ranked institutions),
major
IT corporations (including: Microsoft, Google, Apple, SAP, Facebook,
Oracle, Amazon, Yahoo, Samsung, IBM, Ebay, GE, Siemens, Philips,
Ericsson,
BAE Systems, Hitachi, NTT, ...), major corporations (including: Exxon
Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, PetroChina, GlaxoSmithKline,
HSBC, Airbus, Boeing, Hyundai, ...), government research agencies (NSF,
NIH, DoE, AirForce, NSA National Security Agency, ...), US national
laboratories (including, NASA, ANL, LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence
Berkeley
National Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, National Cancer Institute,
NIST, ...), and a number of Venture Capitalists as well as
distinguished
speakers discussing Intellectual Property issues. Last year, 55% of
attendees were from academia, 24% from industry; 20% from
government and
funding agencies; and 1% unknown. About half of the attendees were from
outside USA; from 74 nations. To get a feeling about the conferences'
atmosphere, see some delegates photos available at:

INVITATION & SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted
papers will be published in printed conference books (ISBN), imprinted
by the American Council on Science and Education, and distributed
& published by CSREA (Computer Science Research, Education, and
Applications Press). The proceedings will also be made available
online. The printed proceedings/books will be available for
distribution
on site at the conference. The books will be indexed in science
databases, including EBSCO (www.ebsco.com), one of the largest subject
index systems, and others. ACM Digital Library is also including the
titles into its databases as well as ProQuest indexing databases and
others.
In addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected papers
(about 40%) will appear in journals and 15 edited research books;
publishers include, Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others). Each book in
each series will be subject to Elsevier and Springer science indexing
products (which includes: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI Compendex,
Engineering Village, www.ei.org; EMBASE, www.info.embase.com; &
others).
See the web link below for a small subset of such publications:
(some of
these books and journal special issues have already received the
top 25%
downloads in their respective fields and/or identified as "Highly
Accessed" by publishers and/or science citation index trackers.)
http://americancse.org/events/csce2017/books-journal-special-issues
Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading
them
to the evaluation web site at: http://american-cse.org/ . Submissions
must be uploaded by the due date (see IMPORTANT DATES) and must be in
either MS doc or pdf formats (7 pages for Regular Research Papers; 4
pages for Short Research Papers; 2 pages for Extended Abstract/Poster
Papers - the number of pages include all figures, tables, and
references).
All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the
authors of
accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format
to prepare their final papers for publication; these formatting
instructions appear at the submission web site and they conform to the
two-column IEEE style format). Papers must not have been previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
The first page of the paper should include the followings:
- Title of the paper
- Name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each
author
(identify the name of the Contact Author)
- Abstract (between 100 and 120 words)
- A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in the paper
- Write the type of the submission as "Regular Research Paper",
"Short Research Paper", or "Extended Abstract/Poster Paper".
- The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space
permitting).
Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal at http://american-cse.org/
Type of Submissions/Papers:
- Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 7 pages):
Regular Research Papers should provide detail original research
contributions. They must report new research results that represent
a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for
the results and conclusions should also be provided. The work
presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of
maturity
that with some additional work can be published as journal papers.
- Short Research Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short Research Papers report on ongoing research projects. They
should provide overall research methodologies with some results.
The work presented in short papers are expected to be at a stage
of maturity that with some additional work can be published as
regular papers.
- Extended Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):
Poster papers report on ongoing research projects that are still in
their infancy (i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to
provide research methodologies without yet concrete results.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for
originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of
contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program
committee would be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject);
often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees. Papers
whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will
be evaluated using the double-blinded review process.
(Essay/philosophical
papers will not be refereed but may be considered for
discussion/panels).
