** PURPOSE AND SCOPE
CLEI is the main yearly Latin American informatics and computer science
forum for exchanging ideas, experiences and research results among
researchers, practitioners, and students. CLEI 2016 will consist of
nine (9) thematic symposia and several keynotes, workshops, tutorials,
and panels.
CLEI 2016 calls for papers reporting results of a theoretical nature
and/or practice that advance the state of the art or present relevant
applications or cases in the areas of interest of the symposia or
associated events. It aims for a mixed academic and industrial audience.
** IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2016
Notification of acceptance: July 12, 2015
Final version submission: August 16, 2015
** INFORMATION FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
Articles can be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English, and should be
sent in PDF format prior to May 15, 2016 through the CLEI 2016 website
(www.clei.org/clei2016) using the EasyChair platform.
* Submitted papers must present original research results or relevant
experience reports, and should not be published or under evaluation for
other conferences and/or journals. An article can be sent to only one
symposium or associated event. Submitting the same article to several
symposia or associated events will be basis for rejection.
* Submissions should not exceed 12 pages in some official language of
CLEI 2016 (English, Spanish, or Portuguese), including figures,

abstract in English, and be formatted according to the IEEE standard
referenced in the CLEI 2016 website.
* Submitted papers must be substantial intellectual contributions of the
authors, and follow anti-plagiarism practices set out in the CLEI
Authors Behavior Code (Código de Conducta de Autores de CLEI).
* The final program and the proceedings will only include papers with at
least one author registered in the AUTHOR category of the conference
before final version submission deadline.
* A selection of the best papers presented at the CLEI 2016 symposia
will be fast-tracked for publication in selected journals, including the
CLEI Electronic Journal (www.clei.org/cleiej) and Electronic Notes in
Theoretical Computer Science (www.entcs.org); the journals list is
growing as of this time. Authors of invited articles must submit a
version, in English and improved and expanded (at least 30%), to undergo
the journal evaluation process.
* Articles accepted and presented at the symposia of CLEI 2016 will be
indexed and published by IEEE Xplorer digital library (pending).
No-shows will not be published; presentation by non-authors must be
