FOREWORD:

     We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
     joint conferences (Congress: http://americancse.org/events/csce2017 ).
     The congress is composed of 105 technical, research, and panel sessions
     as well as a number of keynote lectures and tutorials; all will be held
     simultaneously, same location and dates: July 17-20, 2017. Last year,
     the Congress had attracted speakers/authors and participants affiliated
     with over 176 different universities (including many from the top 50
     ranked institutions), major IT corporations (including: Microsoft, 
Google,
     Apple, SAP, Facebook, Oracle, Amazon, Yahoo, Samsung, IBM, Ebay, GE,
     Siemens, Philips, Ericsson, BAE Systems, Hitachi, NTT, ...), major
     corporations (including: Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan 
Chase,
     PetroChina, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Airbus, Boeing, Hyundai, ...),
     government research agencies (NSF, NIH, DoE, AirForce, NSA National
     Security Agency, ...), US national laboratories (including, NASA, ANL,
     LLNL, Sandia, ORNL, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Los Alamos National
     Lab, National Cancer Institute, NIST, ...), and a number of Venture
     Capitalists as well as distinguished speakers discussing Intellectual
     Property issues. Last year, 55% of attendees were from academia, 24%
     from industry; 20% from government and funding agencies; and 1% 
unknown.
     About half of the attendees were from outside USA; from 74 nations. To
     get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see some delegates

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

     You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted 
papers
     will be published in printed conference books (each with a unique
     international ISBN number), imprinted by the American Council on 
Science
     and Education, and distributed/published by CSREA (Computer Science
     Research, Education, and Applications Press). The proceedings of each
     conference will also be made available online. The printed proceedings
     and 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).

     The joint conferences is among the top five largest annual gathering of
     researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied
     computing. We anticipate to have attendees from about 75 countries and
     territories. To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see
     some delegates photos available at:
     2016 Congress: http://album.phanfare.com/14370248
     2015 Congress: http://album.phanfare.com/6981287
     2014 Congress: http://album.phanfare.com/6626396
     Past 10 years: http://album.phanfare.com/

     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."
