Call For Papers - CFP

Three types of papers can be submitted:

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

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

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

Papers submitted for the Scientific Committee’s evaluation must not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the early version. This information should only be included in the final version.

Submitted papers must not have been published and must not be under review for any other conference and national or international publication.

Papers must comply with the format standards (DOT, PDF) and be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English.

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

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 proceedings publication.

The authors of accepted poster papers must 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 dispose of a 15-minute presentation in the Conference Work Session, and approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted short papers will dispose of an 11-minute presentation in the Conference Work Session, and approximately 4 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.

Publication and Indexing

To ensure that the contribution (full paper, short paper, poster paper) is published in the Proceedings, at least one of the authors must be fully registered until the 13th of April, and the paper must comply with the suggested layout and the page-limit. Additionally, all recommended modifications must be addressed by the authors before they submit the final version.

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

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

Published full papers will be sent to ISI, IEEE’s XPlore and EBSCO, where they will subsequently be indexed by ISI, SCOPUS, EBSCO and INSPEC. Published short papers will be sent to IEEE’s XPlore and to EBSCO, and they will subsequently be indexed by SCOPUS, EBSCO and INSPEC. Poster papers will be sent to EBSCO only, where they will subsequently be indexed.

The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to expand them for publication in IEEE’s book TICAI (ICTs Applied to Engineering Learning), in RISTI Journal (Iberian Journal of Information Systems and Technologies) and other interested Iberian publications.

We are counting on you. Submit your contribution.
