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.
