*************************************************************************************
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
Thomson, SCOPUS, INSPEC and EBSCO. Detailed and up-to-date information may be
found at CISTI 2014 website http://www.aisti.eu/cisti2014.
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
The Organizing Committee of each Workshop will be responsible for:
? Producing and distributing the Workshop Call for Papers (CFP);
? Coordinating the review and selection process for the papers submitted to
the Workshop, as Workshop chairs (on the paper submission system installed for
all the Workshops);
? Delivering the final versions of the papers accepted for the Workshop in
accordance with the guidelines and deadlines defined by CISTI 2014 organizers;
? Coordinating and chairing the Workshop sessions at the conference.
CISTI 2014 organizers reserve the right to cancel any Workshop if deadlines are
missed or if the number of registered attendees is too low to support the costs
associated with the Workshop.
