The symposium expects the submission of technical papers that clearly show
contributions to research in Information Systems (IS) area and that are related
to the symposium interest topics. Papers on all topics listed below are
expected, not just those related to the main theme of this edition ("Smart
Cities"), for which there is a special track as described in the end of this
call.
1. Regular Track - Topics of Interest
The list of topics of interest (not exhaustive) includes the following items:
Management and Business
Information Architecture and Information Technology
Enterprise Architecture
Entrepreneurship in the IS area
Fundamentals of IS
Mathematical Fundamentals for IS
Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning
IS Managements
Information Technology Infrastructure
Innovation and New Technologies applied to Organizational IS
Methodologies and approaches for IS Engineering
Operations Research, Systems Modeling; Simulation
IS Planning, Auditing, Strategic Alignment, Security and Risk, Quality,
Project Management, and Business Process Management
Psychology applied to IS , Social and Human Aspects in IS
Intelligent IS (intelligent agents, genetic algorithms, machine
learning, data mining, formal models, ontologies, automated reasoning, neural
networks, knowledge representation)
General Systems Theory
IS Verification and Validation
2. Regular Track - Paper Submission
Papers may be written in English or Portuguese and should follow the SBC
papers publishing model (http://www.sbc.org.br/index.phpoption=com_jdownloa
ds&Itemid=195&task=finish&cid=38&catid=32 ) and be submitted in PDF format.
There are two possible types of submission:
Full Papers: they must have seven to 12 pages (including figures, tables,
diagrams, bibliography and appendices). Papers submitted as "Full Papers" may,
after evaluation by the Program Committee, have their acceptance recommended as
"Short Papers".
Short papers: they should be limited to six pages (including figures,
tables, diagrams, bibliography and appendices). Short papers should pre ferably
describe "work in progress", whose results are not fully consolidated.
Proposals for papers should be submitted electronically through the SBC's JEMS
systems, using the following tracks
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgic=1496 ):
Full Papers: SBSI 2012 Technical Tracks 1. Regular Track -
Full papers.
Short papers: SBSI 2012 Technical Tracks 2. Regular Track -
Short papers.
All contributions will be reviewed considering the technical merit and the
relevance to the symposium.
Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings conditional upon
registration of at least one of the authors at the event.
The following journals are committed to publish extended ve rsions of papers as
a selection of best papers:
iSys Revista Brasileira de Sistemas de Informao Electronic
ISSN 1984- 2902
RESI Revista Eletrnica de Sistemas de Informao ISSN 1677 -
3071.
SPECIAL TRACKS
In addition to the Regular Track, the SBSI 2012 PC invites submission of papers
on four other Special Tracks, which will count on independent evaluation and
selection processes, as follows. Papers that fit specifically in one of these
four Special Tracks and which are submitted for the Regular Tr ack will be
redirected to be evaluated on the correct track as expected.
1. Special Track 1 Information Systems and Smart Cities (Positions Papers)
2. Special Track 2 Industry Experience Reports and Case Studies
3. Special Track 3 Applications of Information Systems Tools
4. Special Track 4 Education in Information Systems
