SCOPE

The WorldCIST'15 - 3rd World Conference on Information Systems and
Technologies, to be held at Ponta Delgada, S?o Miguel, Azores, Portugal, 1 - 3
April 2015, 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.

Azores is ranked as the second most beautiful archipelago in the world by
National Geographic. Consisting of nine distinct islands, each of them special,
is in fact a place in the world to be visited.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your papers to WorldCISTI'15. All
submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance
and clarity.

for the Conference:

A) Information and Knowledge Management (IKM);
B) Organizational Models and Information Systems (OMIS);
C) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems (IDSS);
D) Big Data Analytics and Applications (BDAA);
E) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools (SSAAT);
F) Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA);
G) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems (CNMPS);
H) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI);
I) Health Informatics (HIS);
J) Information Technologies in Education (ITE).
K) Information Technologies in Radiocommunications (ITR)


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 can 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 & 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 6th of January 2015, 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
published by AISTI.

Published full and short papers will be submitted for indexation by ISI,
EI-Compendex, SCOPUS and DBLP, among others, and will be available in the
SpringerLink Digital Library.

The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to extend them for
