Call for Papers

Call for Papers

Students, faculty, researchers, and scientists are invited to submit high-quality original technical manuscripts to the 2025 ACM Southeast Conference (ACMSE 2025). 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 2025 will be published in the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library (ISBN: 979-8-4007-1277-7). 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. Manuscripts with a number of pages outside the allowed range will be rejected without being reviewed. Thank you for your understanding.

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. Manuscripts with a number of pages outside the allowed range will be rejected without being reviewed. Thank you for your understanding.
 

Scope

ACMSE 2025 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 2025 ACM Southeast Conference (ACMSE 2025) 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, that each author is mindful of the content of the paper and fully agrees with it, 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.
  • That for each work submitted to the conference, at least one of the authors should volunteer to be part of the Technical Program Committee and help review other manuscripts.
  • That the maximum number of submissions sent by each author is three. In other words, the same author may submit up to three contributions (posters, short papers, and full papers combined).
  • That the organizing committee and program committee reserve the right to remove a paper from the conference program or/and the ACM Digital Library at any stage should a problem arise with the submission.

 

Evaluation Process

Accepted papers will successfully pass the following three phases: (1) pre-review, (2) evaluation, and (3) rebuttal.

  • Pre-review: This phase will take place immediately after the end of the CFP. The program committee will desk reject all the papers (1) that do not follow the format of the conference, (2) with a number of pages outside the allowed range, (3) with high similarity with previously published work, (4) with authors exceeding the maximum number of three submissions, and (5) with topics that are outside the scope of the conference.
  • Evaluation: All the papers that successfully pass the pre-review phase will be sent for double-blind evaluation.
  • Rebuttal: After receiving the evaluations, and before making a final decision, the authors may be asked to submit a rebuttal to address the reviewers’ comments.

 

Rebuttal

After receiving the evaluations, 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 2025 conference. All authors are required to submit their manuscripts in the correct format, even at the level of the evaluation. Be aware that manuscripts that do not follow the required format will be rejected without evaluation. ACMSE does NOT support the Microsoft Word format (no exceptions). Thank you for your understanding. Instructions and the LaTeX template are in this link
 

Submission Link

Manuscripts should be submitted through the EasyChair system, no later than the due date for submissions. Remember that the evaluation process is “double-blind”, and submitted manuscripts shall lack author(s) names and affiliations. You will be asked to select a track/category during the submission. Be sure you submit your manuscript to the correct track (Full Papers or Short Papers). Submitted articles should be well formatted and use proper English grammar and punctuation.

Notice that you will need an ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier) ID/number. If you do not have one so far, create an account in ORCID
