Author Guidelines
Participation modalities (types of works):
Track 1: Scientific papers in English
Original research, basic and experimental - finished or in progress.

Track 2: Scientific papers in Spanish
Original research, basic and experimental - finished or in progress.

Paper length
Finished scientific papers (English or Spanish) will be submitted as full papers, ranging from 8 pages to 10 pages.
Works in progress will be submitted as short papers (English or Spanish), ranging from 6 pages to 8 pages.

Papers must be original works, not have been published before, nor subjected simultaneously to other events.

Submitted papers will be evaluated by an international reviewers committee composed of renowned researchers and professionals, who can be consulted on the conference website.

Languages:
The CONISOFT will accept articles in English and Spanish.

Paper publication:
(a) Accepted papers for CONISOFT in English (Track 1) will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society (CSDL) digital libraries. The papers accepted for presentation and discussion at the CONISOFT conference are published in the proceedings by IEEE and will be submitted for indexing by IET INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, Scopus, and other indexing services.

Based on the quality of the submissions, we are considering publishing extended versions of the best quality papers (in English) in a post-conference special issue in the Journal (with a second-round reviewing): Programming and Computer Software, © Springer. IF 0.936, Q4 (Scopus: Q3).

* The post-conference publication could require an additional payment to the editorial. Authors will be required to provide expanded versions of their submissions, which will undergo an additional review process for inclusion in the special issue.

(b) Accepted papers in Spanish will be published in a set of journals with Ibero-American indexes (some articles may be required to be translated into English as required by some journals). (to be defined).
