*******************************************************************

Scope
WorldCIST'16 - 4rd World Conference on Information Systems and 
Technologies, to be held at Recife, Brazil, 22 - 24 March 2016, 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.

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 2016 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Authors are invited to submit unpublished work, contributing with 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: Finished and consolidated R&D works. 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.

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, 
workshop  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 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/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: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist-workshops2

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. 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.

Important Dates

    Deadline for paper submission: November 30th, 2015
    Notification of paper acceptance: December 20th, 2015
    Deadline for final versions and conference registration: December 
31th, 2015
    Workshop / Conference dates: March 22nd -24th, 2016
