WORKSHOP FORMAT

The Iberian Information Systems and Technologies research and industrial 
community is invited to submit proposals of Workshops for CISTI 2014 – 9th 
Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies to be held at 
Barcelona, Spain, June 18–21, 2014. Two types of Workshops may be proposed: 
Regular Workshops and Project Workshops.

Regular Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject on the scope of 
CISTI 2014 but not directly included on the main conference areas. Each regular 
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 10 submissions and 
5 accepted papers in order to be conducted at CISTI.

Project Workshops are intended to promote the dissemination and facilitate the 
future exploitation of EU Latin-American and national project results such as 
EU/FP7, CSIC, FCT, QREN, Fund.Gulbenkian, CYTED, CAPES, CNPq, FINEP and other 
Projects/funding sources. The results to be disseminated may be preliminary 
project results (for unfinished projects) or the project final results (for 
already finished projects). Each project workshop should be directly related to 
a Project funded in a competitive manner by a National/International Science 
Organization. The Workshop should be coordinated by an Organizing Committee 
composed by at least two researchers including the Principal Investigator of 
the project. Each project Workshop will be entitled to at least a paper on the 
Conference main proceedings (specific details and distinct configurations for 
the project workshop should be discussed with the conference Workshop chair).

The selection of Workshops will be performed by CISTI 2014 Conference Chairs. 
Workshops full papers will be published in the conference main proceedings in 
specific Workshop chapters. Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by ISI

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 
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 one additional paper 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
