SCOPE

The WorldCist'21 - 9th World Conference on Information Systems and
Technologies, to be held in Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal, 30-31
March to 1-2 April 2021, 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 WorldCist'21.
All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance,
originality, importance and clarity.

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 10-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to
discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion.
These papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R &
D, tools, etc., focused on some topics of the conference. These papers
are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Submitted papers must comply with the format of Advances in
Intelligent Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors
at Springer Website), 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, saved in Word or Latex format
and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent
to Publish form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the
conference management system.

All papers will be subjected to a “double-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.

Poster papers and Company papers are not published in the Conference
Proceedings, being only presented and discussed. The authors of
accepted poster papers should 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 7 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 or short paper is published, poster paper
or company paper is published, at least one of the authors must be
fully registered by the 2nd of January 2021, 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. An extra
fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum
of one additional paper per registration. One registration permits
only the participation of one author in the conference.

Full and Short papers will be published in Proceedings by Springer, in
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series. Poster and
company papers will not be published, just presented in the
conference.

Published Full and Short papers will be submitted for indexation by
ISI, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, DBLP and Google Scholar, among others, and
will be available in the SpringerLink Digital Library.

The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to extend them
for publication in international journals indexed by ISI/SCI, SCOPUS
and DBLP, among others, such as:

- International Journal of Neural Systems (IF: 5.605 / Q1)

- Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering (IF: 4.706 / Q1)
