CALL FOR PAPERS

We are pleased to invite the academic and business community to submit their 
papers to CISTI'2012 (7th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and 
Technologies), to be held in Madrid, Spain, between the 20th and 23rd of June 
2012. Authors are encouraged to submit original scientific contributions such 
as state-of-art reviews and new research perspectives, groundbreaking ideas 
and/or architectures, solutions and/or applications for real problems, 
empirical and/or evaluation works, case studies, etc., in conformity with the 
themes of this Conference.

Four 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.

    Company paper: Companies' papers  that show practical experience, R&D, 
tools, etc., focused in some topics of the conference. These articles are 
abstracts with a maximum of 1 page. 

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 standard 
(http://www.aisti.eu/cisti2012/papersformat.dot) and be written in Portuguese,

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
