FOREWORD:
We anticipate
having between 1,000 and 2,000 participants in the
Congress that
ESCS'19 is part of. The congress includes 20 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,

from government and funding agencies; and 1% unknown.
About half of
the attendees were from outside USA; from 72 nations.
The event is
among the top five largest international annual gathering
