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

The 2014 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies 
(WorldCIST'14: http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist14) 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'14. 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);

G) Health Informatics (HIS);

H) Information Technologies in Education (ITE).


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 or 
download a DOC example) 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 Publication 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. 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 24th of January 2014, and the paper must comply with the 
suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended changes must be

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 one additional paper per registration.
