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; and 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).

An important mission of The Congress is "Providing a unique platform for a
diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers,
developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted
effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such
as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and
research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts
to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main
mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research
as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its
institution and geography diversity objectives."
