   PROLOGUE: The broad area of Imaging Science is a field that is mainly
   concerned with the generation, collection, analysis, modification,
   and visualization of images. The field is multidisciplinary in that it
   includes topics that are traditionally covered in computer science,
   physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, AI, psychology and
   information theory where computer science acts as the topical bridge
   between all such diverse areas. From the computer science perspective,
   the core of Imaging Science includes the following three intertwined
   computer science fields, namely: Image Processing, Computer Vision,

INTRODUCTION:

   We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
   event (CSCE Congress) that this event is part of. In order
   to leverage the synergies between various CS & CE fields, the program
   committees of a number of major research meetings have their
   2021 events held at one venue (same location and dates). This joint
   research event 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 26-29,
   2021. For the complete list of joint conferences, refer to:
   https://www.american-cse.org/csce2021/conferences
   This year's Congress will be a hybrid event that combines a “live”
   in-person event with a “virtual” online component.

   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 for this set of conferences: 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.

            (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).
