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.)
https://americancse.org/events/csce2019/books-journal-special-issues
https://americancse.org/events/csce2019/publication
Prospective
authors are invited to submit their papers by uploading
them to the
evaluation web site at:
https://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 - see:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
).
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
https://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).
CAREER, JOB, & EDUCATION FAIR:
The Congress
will host its two-day Career, Job, & Education Fair
on July 29-30,
2019. This annual strategic event provides congress
attendees and
participants with opportunities to connect with employers
and educators
and learn more about career options. Corporations can also
exhibit their
products during the event. Interested parties should refer to:
