Call For Papers
9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS)
Rio Grande, RS, Brazil, October 20 - 23, 2020

)))) NEW deadline for paper submissions: May 30, 2020 ((((
)))) BRACIS 2020 will be a virtual (online) conference ((((

)))) COVID UPDATE ((((
Due to the COVID pandemic and the sanitary and economical related issues, BRACIS 2020 will be a virtual (online) conference. Although we may lose the opportunity of interacting in person, a virtual conference will imply fairly reduced costs for organizers and participants, substantially reducing the registration fees and traveling costs. We’re getting advice from other conferences that are going virtual, and working out the best ways to offer talks and presentations without losing the social aspect that has always been a central part of BRACIS.

)))) CALL FOR PAPERS ((((
The Program Committee of the 9th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent System (BRACIS) invites submissions of original research papers for the conference from October 20th to 23th, 2020. Due to the COVID pandemic, BRACIS 2020 will be a virtual (online) conference.
BRACIS is one of the most important events in Brazil for researchers in the fields of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. The Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS) originated from the combination of the two most important scientific events in Brazil in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI): the Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence - SBIA (21 editions ), and the Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks - SBRN (12 editions). The conference aims to promote theory and applications of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. BRACIS also aims for the promotion of international level research by exchanging scientific ideas among researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers.


IMPORTANT DATES

- Paper submission - May 30, 2020 )))) NEW Deadline (hard) ((((
- Notification to authors - June 30, 2020
- Camera-ready copy due - July 20, 2020


SPECIAL ISSUES

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to be appreciated for publication in special issues after the conference.


SUBMISSION DETAILS

*** Please, note that BRACIS submission is double-blind *** This means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity.
Submissions should include significant and unpublished research on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Computational Intelligence (CI).
*** New submission format *** Submitted papers must be written in English, and not exceed 15 pages, including all tables, figures, references, and appendices.
Formatting instructions, as well as templates for Word and LaTeX, are available at Conference Proceedings guidelines
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts in the field and accepted papers will be included in the BRACIS proceedings, and submitted for publication in Springer (pending approval).
Only PDF files can be uploaded in the submission system.
