In order to leverage synergy between various CS & CE fields, the program
committees of IPCV, HIMS, BIOCOMP, BIOENG conferences 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 conferences, refer to:

   countries and territories. To get a feeling about the conferences'
   atmosphere, see some delegates photos available at (over 2,000 photos):


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 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,
   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 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/

   Publisher:  Springer Nature - Book Series:
      Transactions on Computational Science & Computational Intelligence
      Book Title: Advances in Computer Vision & Computational Biology
   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).


CAREER, JOB, & EDUCATION FAIR:

   The CSCE 2020 Congress plans to host a one-day Career, Job, & Education
   Fair on July 28, 2020. This annual strategic event provides the congress
   attendees and participants with opportunities to connect with employers
   and educators and learn more about career options. Corporations and
   Universities can also exhibit their products, services, and degree programs
   during the event. Interested parties should contact cs@american-cse.org .
