Dear Gustaf Neumann,
CLOSER 2014 welcomes the submission of position papers whose deadline is set for next January 3.
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics.
Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://closer.scitevents.org/GuidelinesTemplates.aspx).
The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with ACM SIGMIS - ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems. INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). The Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS) is the Logistics Partner of the conference.
CLOSER is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 142 submissions, 18% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 17% were presented as short papers and 20% as posters.
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers may be published by Springer in the CCIS series.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
CLOSER 2014 will be held in conjunction with CSEDU (http://www.csedu.org), SMARTGREENS (http://www.smartgreens.org) and WEBIST (http://www.webist.org) in Barcelona, Spain. Registration to CLOSER will enable free attendance to any sessions of CSEDU, SMARTGREENS and WEBIST conferences as a non-speaker.
