WorldCIST 2021 - 9th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies

The Information Systems and Technologies research and industrial community is invited to submit proposals for the organization of Workshops at WorldCist'21 - 9th World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies, to be held at Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal, 30-31 March to 1-2 April 2021. WorldCist is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
Workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject on the scope of WorldCist'21 but not directly included on the main conference areas. Each workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee composed of, at least, two researchers in the field, preferably from different institutions and different countries. The organizers should create an international Program Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the specific Workshop scientific area. Each workshop should have at least ten submissions and five accepted papers in order to be conducted at WorldCist'21.
The selection of Workshops will be performed by WorldCist'21 Conference/Workshop Chairs. Each Workshop will have 1 article offered for 10 articles with paid registration, 2 articles offered for 20 articles with paid registration, and 3 articles offered for 40 articles with paid registration.
Workshops full and short papers will be published in the conference main proceedings in specific Workshop chapters published by Springer in a book of the AISC series. Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by ISI, SCOPUS, DBLP, EI-Compendex among several other scientific databases. Extended versions of best selected papers will be published in journals indexed by ISI/SCI, SCOPUS and DBLP. Detailed and up-to-date information may be found at WorldCist'21 website: http://worldcist.org/
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
The Organizing Committee of each Workshop will be responsible for:
- Producing and distributing the Workshop Call for Papers (CFP);
