The purpose of the Consortium is to promote the betterment of computer-oriented curricula in two- and four-year colleges and universities; to improve the use of computing as an educational resource for all disciplines; to en-compass regional constituencies devoted to this purpose; and to promote an international liaison among local, regional organizations also dedicated to this goal. The Consortium holds meetings in conjunction with other computer education organizations, on its own, and sponsors sessions and tracks at such conferences. The meetings of the membership are held at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, and University City, at the Autonomous University of Juarez.
Submission Guidelines
Extension and language: Regular papers shall be written entirely in English (Spanish is also acceptable, with certain restrictions), with the title and abstract in English, and from 12 to 15 pages, using as many pages as really necessary for a quality paper. Submissions in Spanish—excluded from the Springer volume—are also possible, as long as their title and abstract are both in English and Spanish or just English.
Double-blind review policy. Each research paper will be blind peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
Publication of accepted works. A peer-reviewed selection of accepted works will appear in the conference post-proceedings, planned to be published by Springer in their Communications in Computer and Information Science, CCIS, series—final approval pending. Although the official languages are English and Spanish, the official language for the Springer volume shall be English only. For those accepted works in Spanish, excluded from the Springer Volume, their title and abstract shall be both in English and in Spanish or in English only.
Regular papers should be a PDF document, one-column formatted, according to the to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science style, available for Overleaf, LaTeX and Word, and from 12 to 15 pages. We strongly recommend using Overleaf or LaTeX. Please upload using EasyChair, never by e-mail. Additionally, you can always have your ORCID identifier.
