SCOPE: TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED
TO, THE FOLLOWING:
PROLOGUE: The
broad area of Imaging Science is a field that is mainly
concerned with
the generation, collection, analysis, modification,
and
visualization of images. The field is multidisciplinary in that it
includes topics
that are traditionally covered in computer science,
physics,
mathematics, electrical engineering, AI, psychology and
information
theory where computer science acts as the topical bridge
between all such
diverse areas (for a formal definition of Imaging
Science, refer
to relevant wiki pages.) From the computer science
perspective, the
core of Imaging Science includes the following three
intertwined
computer science fields, namely: Image Processing, Computer
Vision, and
Pattern Recognition. This conference will cover the
research trends
in these three important areas. The list of topics of
interest that
appears below is not meant to be exhaustive.

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.)

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/
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).

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:
