Paper Submission and Formatting Guidelines
We invite prospective authors to submit their contributions, not yet published, reporting on either work under development or concluded projects about theoretical aspects or practical applications related to the topics of the workshop. Contributions can be submitted in one of the three formats of the Conference, namely as full paper (6 pages), as short paper (4 pages), or as poster (2 pages).
The paper preparation must follow the formatting guidelines of the Conference, and should be written either in Portuguese, in Spanish, or in English. All contributions must be submitted in PDF format, through the EasyChair platform (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/). At least three members from the workshop’s Programme Committee will assess and comment on each submission, following a “blind-review” process. Therefore, authors should take special care to delete their names and affiliation from the paper during the reviewing phase, as well as obfuscate any other references in the text that can possibly identify them.
