In order to
leverage synergy between various CS & CE fields, the program
committees of
ICDATA and IKE 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

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, ...),

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.

Prospective authors are invited to submit
their papers by uploading
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
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
