Instructions for Authors
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions, in English, electronically, in PDF format, via EasyChair.

Papers must follow the Springer AISC template. Twelve pages in the Springer AISC format are allowed for each paper, including all figures, tables and references. Please check the Author Guidelines for the Preparation of Contributions to Springer Computer Science Proceedings for more complete information.

Accepted English written contributions will be published at Springer Series in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing indexed at Thomson ISI Proceedings, SCOPUS, EI-Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar and Springerlink. Accepted contributions in Spanish and Portuguese will be published in a volume in electronic format with ISBN.

Authors must remove their names from the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity. Three program committee members will be assigned to review each paper. Acceptance will be based on the paper's significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality.

Accepted papers will be scheduled for presentation, which requires that at least one of the authors should register at the Conference and present the paper.

Presentations
:: Full Presentation ::
15 minutes are allocated per oral presentation for regular papers plus 5 minutes for questions and answers.
