Paper Submission closed

Format

Papers must be written in English and should be no longer than 10 pages, using the Springer LNCC style, including all tables, figures, and references. Over-length papers will definetly be rejected without review. It is strongly recommended that the authors use the style file of Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes to minimise the possible conflict of paper length when preparing the manuscripts. Download the styles: latex2e or word.zip. For other formats, please take a look at the springer page.

Once your article is ready, it must be upload to a ftp server (http://soyuz.metropoa.tche.br) in either a pdf or ps format . No other (e.g. msword or rtf) format will be accepted.

Also, please include keywords in your article (after the abstract) in the abstract box when submitting your paper, in order to facilitate the revision process, especially if you have selected "Other" as a topic during the submission of your abstract). Please assign at least one topic to your paper, and at most three of them.

Finally, please take a minute to do the checklist:
- is your paper in the correct format (LNCC/Springer)?
- does your paper have a maximum of 10 pages?
- is your paper in either pdf or ps format?
- did you include keywords together with your abstract?

Policies

The papers should present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research related to the topics of the conference. Please notice that papers on Artificial Neural Networks should be submitted to the SBRN.

SBIA 2004 allows simultaneous submission of papers to other conferences, provided that this fact is clearly indicated by the authors in the submission process.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. All authors of accepted papers will then be required to sign copyright release forms, and one author of each accepted paper will be required to register and attend the conference to present the paper. Otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings.

Review Process

All papers received will be peer-reviewed by referees of the area.

Any other questions regarding papers submission may be directed to the program committe chair at sbia2004@inf.ufrgs.br.
