**************************************************************************



The Program Committee of the 7th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent System
(BRACIS) invites submissions of original research papers for
the conference, to be held at IBM Research, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, from
October 22nd to 25th, 2018.



BRACIS is one of the most important events in Brazil for researchers in the
field of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. 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.



The yearly event series started in 2012 from the combination of the
Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence – SBIA (21 editions) and the
Brazilian Symposium on Neural Networks – SBRN (12 editions).



In 2018, BRACIS will be held in conjunction with:

- 5th Symposium on Knowledge Discovery, Mining, and Learning (KDMile)

- XV Encontro Nacional de Inteligência Artificial e Computacional (ENIAC)

- Concurso de Teses e Dissertações em Inteligência Artificial e
Computacional (CTDIAC)





IMPORTANT DATES



Paper submission - May 6th, 2018   *May 20th, 2018   (**NEW!!)*

Notification to authors - June 26th, 2018

Camera-ready copy due - July 14h, 2018





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.
