Submissions
Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Authors are invited to submit two kinds of papers:
Full papers – Reporting subs tantial and completed work, especially those that may contribute in a significant way to the advancement of the area. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. Full papers can have up to 8 content pages + 2 pages for references.
Short papers – Reporting small, focused contributions such as ongoing work, position papers, potential ideas to be discussed, negative results, or an interesting application nugget. Short papers can have up to 4 content pages + 1 page for references.
Each submission will be evaluated by at least two reviewers. As reviewing will be double-blind, submitted papers must be anonymized. That is, they should not contain the authors' names and affiliations. Authors must avoid self-references that reveal identity, like "We previously showed (Freitas, 1991) ...". Instead, they should prefer citations such as "Freitas (1991) previously showed ...". Separate author identification information will be required as part of the submission process. At submission time, only PDF format is accepted. For the final versions, authors of accepted papers will be given 1 extra content page to incorporate the reviews' suggestions. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to send the source files for the production of the proceedings.
While recent editions have only accepted submissions in English, this year we are pleased to also accept papers written in Portuguese, reaffirming our commitment to promoting scientific exchange in our language.
At submission time, only PDF format is accepted. For the final versions, authors of accepted papers will be given 1 extra content page to incorporate the reviews' suggestions. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to send the source files for the production of the proceedings.

For submissions that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications, this information must be provided at submission time. If a submission is accepted, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. Papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere cannot be accepted for publication or presentation.
