The ACM Southeast (ACMSE) conference is the oldest, continuously running, annual conference of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). ACMSE provides an excellent forum for students, faculty, researchers, and industry practitioners to present their research in a friendly and dynamic atmosphere in all areas of computer science.

ACMSE 2024 will be held in the College of Computing and Software Engineering (https://ccse.kennesaw.edu) at Kennesaw State University, Marietta, Georgia. It will be celebrated as a fully in-person event on April 18-20, 2024. The conference will host many events, including paper presentations, poster presentations, tutorials/workshops, keynote speeches, student competitions, a Ph.D. symposium, industrial practitioner displays, and cultural events.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Students, faculty, researchers, and scientists are invited to submit high-quality original technical manuscripts to the 2024 ACM Southeast Conference (ACMSE 2024). Two tracks are available: full papers and short papers. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The peer-review process will be “double-blind” where manuscripts shall be submitted, lacking author(s) names and affiliations. All accepted and presented articles at ACMSE 2024 will be published in the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library (ISBN: 979-8-4007-0237-2). At least one author of every accepted manuscript must register to attend the conference and present his/her article in person. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.

• Full papers: From 7 to 9 single-spaced pages in length (including references). An acceptance rate of approximately 35% is anticipated for the Full Paper category. Awards for the best full papers will be presented. Accepted and presented full papers will be published in the proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.
• Short Papers: From 5 to 6 single-spaced pages in length (including references). The acceptance rate is targeted at 45% for this category. Awards for the best short papers will be presented. Accepted and presented short papers will be published in the proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.

Scope:

ACMSE 2024 invites prospective authors to submit their original technical work with significant research contributions on any aspects of computer science, information systems, and information technology. Both experimental results, as well as formal investigations, are equally welcome.

Policies:

Authors submitting manuscripts for peer-review to the 2024 ACM Southeast Conference (ACMSE 2024) consent to the following policies:

• That the work submitted is original, that the listed authors are the creators of the work, that each author is aware of the submission and that they are listed as an author, and that the paper is an honest representation of the underlying work.
• That the work submitted is not currently under review at any other publication venue, and that it will not be submitted to another venue unless it is rejected from this venue.
• That the submitting authors have the rights and intent to publish the work in this venue if the work is accepted.
• That any prior publications on which this work is based are documented appropriately in the manuscript and/or in a cover letter available to reviewers. This documentation includes providing an explanation of the new contribution that extends prior published results.
• The organizing committee reverses the right to remove a paper from the conference program or/and the ACM Digital Library should any problem arise with the submission.

Rebuttal:

After receiving the reviews, and before making a final decision, the authors may be asked to submit a rebuttal to address the reviewers’ comments. The rebuttal is meant to provide the authors with an opportunity to rebut factual errors, to supply the additional information requested by the reviewers, or to answer their comments. It is NOT intended to add extensive new contributions that were absent in the original submission.

Manuscript Format:

Manuscripts (.PDF format) must follow the mandatory template provided by the ACMSE 2024 conference. You can read the instructions and find the LaTeX template in https://acmse.net/2024/papers-format.

Tutorial and workshop proposals should be submitted through the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmse2024), no later than the due date for submission of proposals. Proposals should not exceed three pages, 11-point font, single-spaced. A tutorial or workshop proposal should include: title, presenter/organizer name and affiliation, abstract, keywords, covered topics, prerequisites for participants, intended audience, duration (1.5 to 3 hours), resources needed (including lab space), and a short biography of the presenter/organizer. The proposals will be evaluated by the organizing committee and an acceptance decision will be sent to the proposers.

CALL FOR POSTERS

Students, faculty, researchers, and scientists are invited to submit posters to ACMSE 2024. The scope for posters includes all aspects of computer science, information systems, and information technology. Posters can cover preliminary or exploratory work, smaller research projects, projects that are showing promising results but are not quite ready for a full publication, or any other work that would benefit from the discussion in an open forum.

Poster proposals must be submitted as an extended abstract not to exceed three pages, including references. Poster proposal submissions should not be anonymized, so please make sure you include author information (name, affiliation, country) in your proposal. Posters are not considered to be a prior publication.

PH.D. SYMPOSIUM

The ACMSE Graduate Research Symposium aims to provide graduate students working in all areas of computer science, information systems, and information technology, an opportunity to present and discuss their research with senior researchers of the ACMSE community, in a constructive and friendly atmosphere. Experts in the area will provide students with feedback on their research, allowing them to ask questions about how they can overcome obstacles or enhance their current research proposals. Student submissions must outline a research topic with a suitable research plan. Students should have a year or more remaining in their research program in order to incorporate the feedback obtained during the symposium into their dissertations.

Important Dates for Ph.D. Symposium:

• Deadline for Submission of Posters: January 27, 2024
• Notification of Acceptance: February 20, 2024
