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 12 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/csce2018/books-journal-special-issues
http://americancse.org/events/csce2018/conferences/biocomp18/publications
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).
PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:
Each conference
( http://americancse.org/events/csce2018/conferences )
is composed of a
number of tracks. A track can be a session, a workshop,
or a symposium.
A session will have at least 6 papers; a workshop at
least 12 papers;
and a symposium at least 18 papers. Track chairs will
be responsible
for all aspects of their tracks, including: soliciting
papers,
reviewing, selecting, ... The names of track chairs will appear
as Associate
Editors in the conference proceedings and on the cover of
the printed
books (and indexed as such). Track chairs who attract a
sufficient
number of solid papers can propose to edit books with a major
publisher based
on the extended versions of the papers accepted in their
tracks (the
congress will facilitate and help such track chairs to get
the publisher's
approval: such as Springer, Elsevier, ...).
Proposals to
organize tracks (sessions, workshops, or symposiums) should
include the
following information: name and address (+ email) of proposer,
his/her
biography, title of track, a 100-word description of the topic of
the track, the
name of the conference the track is submitted for
consideration
(i.e., ACC, BIOCOMP, ...), and a short description on how
the track will
be advertised (in most cases, track proposers solicit
papers from
colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the track
proposer).
E-mail your track proposal to cs@american-cse.org . We would
like to receive
the track proposals as soon as possible (see IMPORTANT
DATES).
CAREER, JOB, & EDUCATION FAIR:
The CSCE 2018
Congress will host its two-day Career, Job, & Education Fair
on July 30 and
July 31, 2018. This annual strategic event provides
congress
attendees and participants with opportunities to connect with
