*Scope*
WorldCIST'15 - 3rd World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held at Ponta Delgada, São 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 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/10/photogalleries/island-pictures/photo4.html.
Pervasive Information Systems (PIS) extend the Information System paradigm by introducing a set of novel characteristics into the society. This workshop aims to discuss topics related to PIS, evaluate the importance for the society and the creation of new knowledge overcoming temporal and local barriers.
This workshop is focused on demonstrating how to take advantages from this new sort of information systems and which kind of solutions can be developed in order to support the decision making process anywhere and anytime. PIS 2015 is the ideal place for bringing together the researchers who are working in this particular area of information systems in order to promote discussion and explore new scope of scientific contributions.
Having conscience of the most recent situation in Europe and the Horizon 2020 strategy, a deeper analysis should be made on this emerging topic. Authors are invited to submit unpublished work, contributing with research papers, case studies and demonstrations that present original scientific results, methodological aspects, concepts and approaches in the multidisciplinary field of PIS. Authors should present new trends, discuss future challenges and understand how information affects the way humans interact with the built environments occupied by them.
* Topics* Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
* Ubiquitous Data Mining; * Pervasive Intelligent Systems; * Pervasive Intelligent Decision Support Systems; * Pervasive Systems Based on Cloud Computing; * Decision Support Systems; * Interoperability and Pervasiveness; * Pervasive Business Intelligence; * Sensor-based systems; * Life-styling pervasive solutions; * Pervasive environments and software architectures; * Pervasiveness and Security in Information Systems; * Mobile and ubiquitous solutions; * Pervasive Information Systems Applied to society solutions (e.g. Healthcare, Finances, * Education, Government); * Usability and acceptability of pervasive system; * Ubiquitous devices in the storage, update, and transmission of data.
*Submission and Paper Format *
Submissions must be of one of two types:
Full paper:Â Finished and consolidated R&D works. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit; and Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results open to discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.
Submitted papers must comply with the format of Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website http://www.springer.com/series/11156 or download a DOC example http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/springerformat.doc) be written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference, workshop or publication and not include any information leading to the authorsâ?? identification. Therefore, the authorsâ?? 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 Publication for http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/copyright.pdfm http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist13/copyright.pdf filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system.
All papers will be subjected to a â??double-blind reviewâ?? by at least two/three members of the Program Committee. Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the latter case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short papers. 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.
All papers should be submitted using the EasyChair system, available in the following link:Â https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist-ws2015
* Publication and Indexing* Workshop papers will be published in the Springer Conference Proceedings. To ensure that a paper is published in the Proceedings, at least one of the authors must be fully registered by 11th 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 the Conference Proceedings by Springer, in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing http://www.springer.com/series/11156. 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. Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at this workshop may be considered for publication in a Special Issue of a renowned international journal indexed by ISI, SCOPUS and DBLP (e.g. Journal of Universal Computer Science - JUCS http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/aims).*
