INTRODUCTION:
We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000
participants in the
Congress. The congress includes 20 major
tracks
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 30 through
August 2, 2018. Last year,
the Congress had attracted speakers/authors
and participants
affiliated with over 169 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

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 72 nations.
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
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
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.)
Prospective authors are invited to submit
their papers by uploading
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
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 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
employers and educators and learn more about
career options. Corporations
can also exhibit their products during the
event. Interested parties
