The Doctoral Symposium is an excellent opportunity for PhD students to present and discuss their work in a Workshop format. Each presentation will be evaluated by a panel composed by at least three Information Systems and Technologies experts. <br /><br /><br /><strong>CONTRIBUTIONS SUBMISSION</strong> <br /><br />The Doctoral Symposium is opened to PhD students whose research area includes the themes proposed for this Conference. <br /><br />Submissions must include the field, the PhD institution and the number of months devoted to the development of the work. Additionally, they should include in a clear and succinct manner: <br /><br /> • The problem approached and its significance or relevance <br /> • The research objectives and related investigation topics <br /> • A brief display of what is already known <br /> • A proposed solution methodology for the problem <br /> • Expected results <br /><br />Papers written in English (until 12-page limit) must follow the formatting rules for Proceedings in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website). The version of these papers for evaluation by the Scientific Committee, saved in PDF format, must not include identification, e-mail and affiliation of the authors. This information must only be available in the camera-ready version of accepted papers, saved in Word or Latex format and also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference management system. <br /><br />Papers written in Spanish or Portuguese (until 6-page limit) must follow the formatting rules of IEEE.The version of these papers for evaluation by the Scientific Committee, saved in PDF format, must not include identification, e-mail and affiliation of the authors.
