INTRODUCTION:



   We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the

   event (CSCE Congress) that this conference is part of. In order to

   leverage synergy between various CS, CE, and various allied fields,

   the program committees of various conferences, science panels, and

   research working groups have their 2020 events held at one venue (same

   location and dates). This joint research event is composed of a number

   of tracks (joint-conferences, tutorials, sessions, workshops, poster

   and panel discussions); all will be held simultaneously, same location

   and dates: July 27-30, 2020. For the complete list of joint events,

   refer to: https://www.americancse.org/events/csce2020



   We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the Congress.

   The congress includes 20 major tracks, composed of: 122 technical,

   research, and panel sessions as well as a number of keynote lectures

   and tutorials. Last year, the Congress had attracted speakers/authors

   and participants affiliated with over 158 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, Twitter, Uber Technologies, ...), major corporations

   (including: Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, PetroChina,

   GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Airbus, Boeing, Hyundai, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche

   Bank, ...), government research agencies (NSF, NIH, DoE, US Air Force, NSA

   National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, ...), US national

   laboratories (including, NASA National Aeronautics and Space

   Administration, ANL Argonne National Lab, Sandia National Lab, ORNL Oak

   Ridge National Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Lawrence Livermore

   National Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, Pacific Northwest National Lab, ...),

   and a number of Venture Capitalists as well as distinguished speakers

   discussing Intellectual Property issues. Last year, 54% of attendees were

   from academia, 25% from industry; 20% from government and funding agencies;

   and 1% unknown. About half of the attendees were from outside USA; from

   69 nations.



   See the web link below for a small subset of publications based on

   papers accepted in the proceedings: many 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

   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 (maximum of 10 pages for Regular

   Research Papers; maximum of 6 pages for Short Research Papers; and

   maximum of 3 pages for Extended Abstract/Poster Papers - the number of

   pages includes all figures, tables, and references). ALL REASONABLE

   TYPESETTING FORMATS ARE ACCEPTABLE (many authors use Springer's

   one-column style format for their submissions or IEEE style format:

   later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a

   particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for

   publication). 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 10 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 6 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 3 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).
