H) Information Technologies in Education (ITE).
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. Th=
ese 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 Intelligen=
t Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Spring=
er Website or download a DOC example) be written in English, must not =
have been published before, not be under review for any other conferen=
ce or publication and not include any information leading to the autho=
rs=92 identification. Therefore, the authors=92 names, affiliations an=
d bibliographic references should not be included in the version for e=
valuation by the Program Committee. This information should only be in=
cluded 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 confer=
ence management system.
All papers will be subjected to a =93double-blind review=94 by at leas=
t two members of the Program Committee.
Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or acce=
pted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted a=
s the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers =
can be accepted as short papers or poster papers only. Similarly, shor=
t papers can be accepted as poster papers only. In these cases, the au=
thors 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 post=
er to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A=
1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference includes Work Sessions where t=
hese 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 th=
eir work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of disc=
ussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted short pa=
pers 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.
