INTRODUCTION:

In order to leverage the synergies between various CS & CE fields, the
program committees of a number of premier conferences have their
2022 events held at one venue (same location and dates). Thus,
this year, The Congress is composed of a number of tracks (joint-
conferences, sessions, workshops, poster and panel discussions);
all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates:
July 25-28, 2022. For the complete list of joint conferences, refer to:
https://american-cse.org/csce2022/conferences

This year's Congress will be a hybrid event that combines a "live"
in-person event with a "virtual" online component. We anticipate that
most speakers will physically be attending (ie, most talks are expected
to be face-to-face).

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. 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 links 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.

(identify the name of the Contact Author). For Science Citation
Indexation (SCI) inclusion processes, we prefer that the Contact
Authors to provide email addresses that can be traced (ie, SCI
requires that the Contact Authors be positively identified.)

- A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in the paper (It would be more helpful to provide topical
keywords that do not appear in the Title of the paper, if possible.)
- 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/drafts/

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.
