SCOPE

The 2013 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies
(WorldCIST'13: http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/) is a global forum for
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent
innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several
perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your papers to WorldCISTI'13.
All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance,
originality, importance and clarity.


THEMES

Submitted papers should be related with one or more of the main themes
proposed for the Conference:

A) Information and Knowledge Management (IKM);

B) Organizational Models and Information Systems (OMIS);

C) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems (IDSS);

D) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools (SSAAT);

E) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems (CNMPS);

F) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).


TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS AND DECISIONS

Four types of papers can be submitted:

Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works, to be included in one
of the Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 6-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to
discussion. These papers are assigned a 4-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion.
These papers are assigned to a 2-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R &
D, tools, etc., focused on some topics of the conference. These
articles are abstracts with a maximum of 1 page.

Submitted papers must comply with the format rules (DOT, PDF), be
written in English, must not have been published before, not be under
review for any other conference or publication and not include any
information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the
authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not
be included in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee.
This information should only be included in the camera-ready version.

All papers will be subjected to a “blind review” by at least two
members of the Program Committee.

Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or
accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be
accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus,
full papers can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only.
Similarly, short papers can be accepted as poster papers only. In
these cases, the authors will be allowed to maintain the original
number of pages in the camera-ready version.

The authors of accepted poster papers must also build and print a
poster to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow
an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference includes Work Sessions
where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 5
minute limit per poster.

The authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes to present
their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of
discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted
short papers and company papers will have 11 minutes to present their
work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 4 minutes of
discussion will follow each presentation.


PUBLICATION AND INDEXING

To ensure that a full paper, short paper or poster paper is published
in the Proceedings, at least one of the authors must be fully
registered by the 11th of January 2013, and the paper must comply with
the suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended
changes must be addressed by the authors before they submit the
camera-ready version.

No more than one paper per registration will be published in the
Conference Proceedings. An extra fee must be paid for publication of
additional papers, with a maximum of two additional papers per
registration.

Full papers will be published in both book and CD formats, with an
ISBN. Short papers and poster papers will be published in CD only,
with an ISBN.
