                       First Call for Papers

8th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS)
                    Salvador, BA, Brazil, October 15 - 18, 2019

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


The Program Committee of the 8th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent
System (BRACIS) invites submissions of original research papers for the
conference, to be held in Salvador, BA, Brazil, from October 15th to 18th,
2019.

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 2019, BRACIS will be held in conjunction with:
- 16th National Meeting for Artificial and Computational Intelligence
   (XIV Encontro Nacional de Inteligência Artificial e Computacional - ENIAC)
- 12th Brazilian Symposium in Information and Human Language Technology (STIL)



IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission - May 6th, 2019
Notification to authors - June 10th, 2019
Camera-ready copy due - July 10th, 2019


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

Submissions should include significant and previously unpublished research on
all aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Computational Intelligence (CI).

Submitted papers must be written in English, and not exceed 6 pages, including
all tables, figures, references, and appendices.

Formatting instructions, as well as templates for Word and LaTeX, are available
at https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

accepted papers will be included in the BRACIS proceedings, published by CPS
(http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/) and submitted to the IEEE Xplore
Digital Library.

Only PDF files can be uploaded in the submission system.
Papers will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation. However, no
distinction will be made between accepted papers in the conference proceedings.
