WorldCIST'13
The 2013 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies
March 27 - 30, Algarve, Portugal

**********************************************************************************

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 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
http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/springerformat.doc) 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 “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. 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, poster paper or company 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 and short papers will be published in Proceedings by Springer, in
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series. Poster and company
papers will be published in Proceedings by AISTI.

Published full and short papers will be indexed by ISI, EI-Compendex,
SCOPUS, DBLP and EBSCO, among others, and will be available in the
SpringerLink Digital Library. Published poster and company papers will
be indexed in EI-Compendex and EBSCO.

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

- ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS)
- Online Information Review (OIR)
- Computer Science and Information Systems (ComSIS)
- Telecommunication Systems Journal (TSJ)
- INFORMATION - An International Interdisciplinary Journal
