SUBMISSION AND PAPER FORMAT
Please Submit your paper at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist_workshops2017
Two types of papers can be submitted to workshops (both will be published at the Springer AISC proceedings):
- Full papers: Finished or consolidated R&D works. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.
- Short papers: Finished or consolidated R&D works and also Ongoing work but with relevant preliminary results, open to discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.
Submitted papers must comply with the format of Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website or download a DOC example) be written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference, workshop or publication.
Paper should not include any information leading to the authors’ identification (in order to enable double blind review). Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Publication form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system.
All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two/three members of the Program Committee. Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the latter case, it can be accepted as the type originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short papers.

PUBLICATION AND INDEXING
Workshop papers will be published in the AISC Springer Conference Proceedings. To ensure that a paper is published in the Proceedings, at least one of the authors must be fully registered by 11th of January 2017, and the paper must comply with the suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended changes must be addressed by the authors before they submit the camera-ready version. No more than one paper per registration will be published in the Conference Proceedings. An extra fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum of one additional paper per registration. Full and short papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings by Springer, in Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing. Published full and short papers will be submitted for indexation by ISI, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS and DBLP, among others, and will be available in the SpringerLink Digital Library. The authors of the best selected papers will be invited to extend them for publication in renowned international journals indexed by ISI, SCOPUS and DBLP (see the information available at the main conference CFP for more details).
