INTRODUCTION:

We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
Congress. The congress includes 20 major tracks
( https://www.americancse.org/events/csce2020 ) 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 27-30, 2020. 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,

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 CSCE 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.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: https://american-cse.org/

Good News: Due to the high quality of published papers in the proceedings
of CSCE in recent years, this year (2020) ALL accepted papers
will be published by Springer Nature. Thanks to the authors for
submitting their quality research work to the congress for years.

Publisher: Springer Nature - Book Series:
Transactions on Computational Science & Computational Intelligence
Indexation: Subject to Springer science indexation which includes:
online Springer Link (link.springer.com/), Scopus
(www.info.scopus.com), SCI Compendex, EI Compendex (www.ei.org),
EMBASE, Web of Science, Inspec, ACM digital library, Google
Scholar, EBSCO, and others.

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).

PROPOSAL FOR ORGANIZING WORKSHOPS/SESSIONS:

Each conference ( https://americancse.org/events/csce2020/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 they will be
presented achievement awards at appropriate professional levels during
the Award Ceremony on site at the congress. 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 (i.e., ACC, BIOCOMP, ...), 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 (see IMPORTANT
DATES).
