CSCSU
A Computer Science Conference for CSU Undergraduates.
Fifth Annual Computer Science Conference for CSU Undergraduates
Held Virtually on April 26, 2025
CSCSU is an annual conference dedicated to computer science research by undergraduates at CSU campuses. Participating students will learn how a computer science conference works, network with other talented CS students from CSU campuses, and prepare for graduate school and research careers. The conference covers all areas of computer science and is structured like a mainstream CS conference, with authors of accepted papers giving oral presentations. A peer-review process is used to select papers for presentation and inclusion in conference proceedings that will be made available electronically.
Call for Papers
Submissions are welcomed in all areas of computer science. To encourage participation, papers of any of the following types can be submitted:
- Traditional technical papers
- Extensive experimentation with existing tools and techniques
- Reimplementation of an existing tool or technique, with new insights and lessons learned
- Literature surveys, ideally targeted to newcomers to an area
- Tutorials
- Instructional pearls
The paper type must be identified when a paper is submitted. Each paper will be reviewed using the criteria associated with its type. More information about the paper types can be found here, including example papers and acceptance criteria for each type.
Papers must be written under the guidance of a CSU faculty co-author. The first author of every submitted paper must be a CSU undergraduate. All authors must be either CSU faculty advisors (there must be at least one) or CSU undergraduates at the time of submission.
No faculty member can appear as a co-author on more than 3 submissions.
For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, one of the student authors must commit to presenting their work at the conference. Submitted papers must not have been published in other conferences or journals.
