INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION: All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS: https://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/ in the proceedings of The 2018 International Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'18). Past CSCI proceedings are indexed into IEEE Xplore Digital Library and can be accessed via: Volume I (2014): https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822065 Volume II (2014): https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822285 Volume (2015): https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7420813 Volume (2016): https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7879541 Volume (2017): Pending/soon (within days) Papers should be typeset by using the general typesetting instructions available at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html (i.e., use of regular Times New Roman, font size of 10, single line spacing, 2-column format). Authors of accepted papers will later receive more specific typesetting instructions. All submissions must be original (papers must not have been previously published or currently being considered by others for publication). Submissions must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (6 pages for Regular Research Papers; 4 pages for Short Papers; 2 pages for Poster Papers - the number of pages include all figures, tables, and references). The first page should include: - Title of the paper. - Name, affiliation, city, country, and email address of each author (identify the name of the Contact Author). - Abstract (about 100 words). - A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work described in the paper (see the list of topics). - Write the type of the submission as "Full/Regular Research Papers", "Short Papers", or "Poster Papers". - Write "CSCI-ISBD" The actual paper can start from the first page (space permitting). Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site portal at: https://american-cse.org/ TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS/PAPERS: - Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 6 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 Papers (maximum of 4 pages): Short 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. - 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. REVIEW PROCESS Each paper will be peer-reviewed by 2 to 4 peers (except for papers that are philosophical in nature - such papers would be considered for panel discussions.) Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, impact, significance, quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference program and diversity. Papers whose authors include one or more members of the program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. Authors whose papers are not selected for publication can submit a rebuttal letter; rebuttals will be evaluated by 4 members of the Program Committee. DEADLINES - DATES: October 24, 2018: Extended Submission of Papers (11:59pm US Eastern Time Zone) Paper submission portal (for evaluation): https://american-cse.org/ Note that authors who have submitted papers in response to the earlier "Call For Papers" will receive decisions and status reports by the original announced date. November 1, 2018: Notification of acceptance (+/- 2 days) November 8, 2018: Final papers & Author Registrations December 13-15, 2018: The International Symposium on Big Data and Data Science (CSCI-ISBD) https://americancse.org/events/csci2018/Symposiums/csci_isbd CSCI-ISBD will be held in conjunction with other affiliated research events; for more information, see https://americancse.org/events/csci2018 CONTACT: Questions and inquiries should be sent to: Conference Secretariat: [log in to unmask] ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the SUPPORT-VECTOR-MACHINES list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=SUPPORT-VECTOR-MACHINES&A=1
