INTRODUCTION:

   We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
   event (CSCE Congress) that this conference is part of. The congress
   includes 20 major tracks ( https://www.americancse.org/events/csce2019 )
   composed of: 122 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 29 - August 1, 2019.
   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 corporations (including: Exxon Mobil,
   Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, PetroChina, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC,
   Airbus, Boeing, Hyundai, ...), government research agencies (NSF, NIH,
   DoE, US Air Force, 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 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
   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/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/

   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 Congress will host its two-day Career, Job, & Education Fair
   on July 29-30, 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 can also
   exhibit their products during the event. Interested parties should refer to:
