The Information Systems and Technologies research and industrial community
is invited to submit proposals for the organization of Workshops at
WorldCist'19 - 7th World Conference on Information Systems and
Technologies, to be held at La Toja Island, Galicia, Spain, 16 - 19 April
2019. WorldCist 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.


###############
WORKSHOP FORMAT
###############

Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject on the scope of
WorldCist'19 but not directly included on the main conference areas. Each
workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of, at
least, two researchers in the field, preferably from different institutions
and different countries. The organizers should create an international
Program Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the
specific Workshop scientific area. Each workshop should have at least ten
submissions and five accepted papers in order to be conducted at
WorldCist'19.

The selection of Workshops will be performed by WorldCist'19
Conference/Workshop Chairs. Workshops full and short papers will be
published in the conference main proceedings in specific Workshop chapters
published by Springer in a book of the AISC series. Proceedings will be
submitted for indexation by ISI Thomson, SCOPUS, DBLP, EI-Compendex among
several other scientific databases. Extended versions of best selected
papers will be published in journals indexed by ISI/SCI, SCOPUS and DBLP.
