About
CASCON was established in 1990. CASCON is a premiere industrial academic conference in computer science and software engineering, with about a thousand three hundred attendees. It continues to be an innovative forum for researchers, innovators, technologies and developers from academia, industry, and government to share knowledge, form collaborations, present original work and experience first-hand the latest technology trends.
Conference Content and format include:
- Keynote presentations
- Technical paper track
- Emerging technology track for position papers
- Workshops in different technology areas (such as Technology Areas)
- Best Paper and Best Student Paper Awards
- Frontiers of Software Practice plenaries
- Technology showcase of research outcome
CASCON proceedings are available in the ACM Digital Library and DBLP indexed.
Technical Papers
The technical papers program will feature both experience reports and original research papers in the general area of software technology and applications, but particularly addressing this year's theme.
At the conference, awards are given out for Best Paper and Best Student Paper. Criteria for the paper includes originality, clarity and potential impact.
Two paper awards - for Best Paper and Best Student Paper - will be presented to recognize the best technical contributions of the event in terms of originality, clarity and potential impact. To be eligible for the "Best Student Paper" award, a paper must have been primarily authored by a student and the work that the paper reports must have been undertaken by the student authors. Only the student author(s) of the Best Student Paper award receives a prize. The recipients must have been students at the time the work was undertaken.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is an international learned society for computing. It was founded in 1947, and is the world's largest scientific and educational computing society. The ACM is a non-profit professional membership group, claiming nearly 100,000 student and professional members as of 2019. Its headquarters are in New York City.

The International Academic Conference on the Future of Game Design and Technology, also known as FuturePlay, is an international academic conference that focuses on the future of video game design and technology. The most recent conference under that title was held in 2010.
SIGKDD is the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. It became an official ACM SIG in 1998.
The Web Conference is a yearly international academic conference on the topic of the future direction of the World Wide Web. The first conference of many was held and organized by Robert Cailliau in 1994 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The conference has been organized by the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2), also founded by Robert Cailliau and colleague Joseph Hardin, every year since. The conference’s location rotates among North America, Europe, and Asia and its events usually span a period of five days. The conference aims to provide a forum in which "key influencers, decision makers, technologists, businesses and standards bodies" can both present their ongoing work, research, and opinions as well as receive feedback from some of the most knowledgeable people in the field.
The IBM Centers for Advanced Studies (CAS) are a group of research centres on the world that facilitate collaboration with university students and professors using IBM systems. There are 20 CAS located in various countries around the world. IBM's first CAS was established at the IBM Toronto Software Lab.

The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. It is the world's largest gathering of women in computing. The celebration, named after computer scientist Grace Hopper, is organized by the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology and the Association for Computing Machinery. The 2018 conference was held in Houston, Texas on September 26-28.
Massoud Pedram is an Iranian American computer engineer noted for his research in green computing, energy storage systems, low-power electronics and design, electronic design automation and quantum computing. In the early 1990s, Pedram pioneered an approach to designing VLSI circuits that considered physical effects during logic synthesis. He named this approach layout-driven logic synthesis, which was subsequently called physical synthesis and incorporated into the standard EDA design flows. Pedram's early work on this subject became a significant prior art reference in a litigation between Synopsys Inc. and Magma Design Automation.
