 *****************************************************************

We anticipate having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
event (CSCE Congress) that this conference is part of. The congress
includes 20 major tracks ( https://www.americancse.org/events/csce2019 )
composed of: 122 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 29 - August 1, 2019.
Last year, the Congress had attracted speakers/authors and participants
affiliated with over 169 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, ...), major corporations (including: Exxon Mobil,
