WORKSHOP FORMAT
The Iberian Information Systems and Technologies research and industri=
al community is invited to submit proposals of Workshops for CISTI 201=
4 =96 9th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies t=
o be held at Barcelona, Spain, June 18=9621, 2014. Two types of Worksh=
ops 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 Comm=
ittee composed of, at least, two researchers in the field, preferably =
from different institutions and different countries. The organizers sh=
ould create an international Program Committee for the Workshop, with =
recognized researchers within the specific Workshop scientific area. E=
ach 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 facili=
tate the future exploitation of EU Latin-American and national project=
results such as EU/FP7, CSIC, FCT, QREN, Fund.Gulbenkian, CYTED, CAPE=
S, CNPq, FINEP and other Projects/funding sources. The results to be d=
isseminated may be preliminary project results (for unfinished project=
s) or the project final results (for already finished projects). Each =
project workshop should be directly related to a Project funded in a c=
ompetitive manner by a National/International Science Organization. Th=
e Workshop should be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed b=
y at least two researchers including the Principal Investigator of the=
project. Each project Workshop will be entitled to at least a paper o=
n the Conference main proceedings (specific details and distinct confi=
gurations for the project workshop should be discussed with the confer=
ence 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 submit=
ted for indexation by ISI Thomson, SCOPUS, INSPEC and EBSCO. Detailed =
