committee of the above conferences have their 2019 events held at one

venue (same location and dates). One registration covers access to all

sessions of all conferences. The above conferences & events will be held

simultaneously; ie, same location and dates; July 29 - August 1, 2019,

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).

PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:

Each conference ( https://americancse.org/events/csce2019/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, 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.

CAREER, JOB, & EDUCATION FAIR:

The CSCE 2019 Congress plans to host its two-day Career, Job, & Education

Fair on July 29 and July 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
