INVITATION:
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted papers
will be published by IEEE CPS (refer to ieeexplore.ieee.org for previous
years’ IEEE Xplore inclusion) in the proceedings of The 2017 International
Conference on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI).
Extended versions of selected papers of the conference will also appear
in journals and edited research books (Springer, Elsevier, BMC, …) The
published proceedings can be accessed via IEEE CPS and other Digital
libraries.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS FOR EVALUATION:
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS:
https://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/
in the proceedings of The 2017 International Conference on
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI’17).
Past CSCI proceedings are indexed into IEEE Xplore Digital Library
and can be accessed via:
Volume I (2014): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822065
Volume II (2014): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=6822285
Volume (2015): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7420813
Volume (2016): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7879541
Papers should be typeset by using the general typesetting
instructions available at:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
(i.e., use of regular Times New Roman, font size of 10, single line
spacing, 2-column format). Authors of accepted papers will later
receive more specific typesetting instructions. All submissions must
be original (papers must not have been previously published or
currently being considered by others for publication).
Submissions must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (6 pages for
Regular Research Papers; 4 pages for Short Papers; 2 pages for
Poster Papers – the number of pages include all figures, tables, and
references). The first page should include:
– Title of the paper.
– Name, affiliation, city, country, and email address of each author
(identify the name of the Contact Author).
– Abstract (about 100 words).
– A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in the paper (see the list of topics).
– Write the type of the submission as “Full/Regular Research Papers”,
“Short Papers”, or “Poster Papers”.
– Write “CSCI-ISED”
The actual paper can start from the first page (space permitting).
Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal at: http://american-cse.org/
TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS/PAPERS:
– Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 6 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 Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short 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.
– Poster Papers (maximum of 2 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.
REVIEW PROCESS
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by 2 to 4 peers (except for papers that
are philosophical in nature – such papers would be considered for panel
discussions.) Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained.
Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, impact, significance,
quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference
program and diversity. Papers whose authors include one or more members
of the program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded
review process. Authors whose papers are not selected for publication
can submit a rebuttal letter; rebuttals will be evaluated by 4 members
of the Program Committee. 161115
