Papers submitted to the Open Discussion Track may be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. They should be high in interest and potential, but will typically contain only preliminary results and analyses.
This track is intended to showcase promising new directions and allow feedback on preliminary work. Challenge and position papers are also suitable. We especially encourage students from Ibero-American countries to submit their preliminary work. Papers accepted for this track will be presented at the conference and will be published in a local edition (ISBN).
Papers submitted to the Paper Track must be written in English and they should present substantial new results in theoretical, empirical and applied research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence. All accepted papers in this track will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lectures Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series.
SBIA/IBERAMIA 2000 allows simultaneous submission of papers to other conferences, provided this fact is clearly indicated when submitting. Accepted Paper Track papers will appear in the Springer Verlag's LNCS/LNAI series conference proceedings only if they are withdrawn from other conferences.
All authors of accepted papers will be required to sign copyright release forms, and one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the conference to present the paper. Furthermore, it is the conference policy that at least one of the authors of accepted papers has to register for SBIA/IBERAMIA'2000 by August 7th, 2000. Otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings.
Observe that the same style will be used for Open Discussion Track papers. In this later case, when writing in Portuguese or Spanish using Springer-Verlag's LaTeX style file, it is only necessary to include the command:
\usepackage[brasil]{babel} or
\usepackage[portuges]{babel} for
papers in Portuguese, or
\usepackage[spanish]{babel} for papers in
Spanish.
The cover page should contain:
Note that Paper Track papers that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the cover page.
