PURPOSE
CLEI XLI is the main Latin American forum for exchanging ideas, experiences and research results between scientists, professionals and students in informatics and computer science and engineering, as well as its technological applications.

CONFERENCE TOPICS
CLEI XLI calls for papers reporting results of a theoretical nature and/or practice that advance the state of the art or present relevant applications or cases in the areas of interest of the symposia or associated events. The conference is composed of nine (9) symposia and includes several activities such as presentations, tutorials, keynotes and discussion forums.

IMPORTANT DATES
Final deadlines for symposium paper submissions:
paper registration: May 25, 2015, 23:55 GMT-12
paper upload: May 30, 2015, 23:55 GMT-12
Notification of acceptance: July 12, 2015
Final version submission: August 16, 2015

INFORMATION FOR PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers can be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English, and should be
registered prior to May 25, 2015 through the CLEI 2015 website
(http://clei.org/clei2015) using the JEMS platform. The paper must be
uploaded in PDF format in the same platform, before the paper upload
deadline.
• Submitted papers must present original research results or relevant experience reports, and should not be published or under evaluation for other conferences and/or journals. An article can be sent to only one symposium or associated event. Submitting the same article to several symposia or associated events will be basis for rejection.
• Submissions should not exceed 12 pages, including figures, references and an abstract of 150 words in the official language accepted by CLEI 2014 (Spanish, Portuguese and English). If the submissions are written in Spanish or Portuguese, they should have an abstract in English. Submitted papers must be formatted according to IEEE standard referenced in the CLEI 2015 website.
• Submitted papers must be substantial intellectual contributions of the authors and follow practices to avoid plagiarism as set out in CLEI Authors Behavior Code (Código de Conducta de Autores de CLEI, www.clei.org/index.php/reglamento/codigo-de-conducta-para-autores-clei).
• The final program and the proceedings will only include papers with at least one author registered in the AUTHOR category of the conference before final version submission deadline.
• A selection of the best papers accepted and presented at the symposia of CLEI 2015 will be proposed for publication in selected journals such as CLEI Electronic Journal and Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science. Invited authors must submit an improved and expanded version of the article in English that will undergo a new evaluation process.
• Only papers accepted and presented at the symposia of CLEI 2015 will be indexed and published by IEEE Xplorer digital library (pending).
