The 16th National Meeting on Artificial and Computational Intelligence

XVI Encontro Nacional de Inteligência Artificial e Computacional

Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, October 15 - 18, 2019

>>>> Deadline for paper submissions: July 17, 2019  July 28, 2019 (new deadline) <<<

The National Meeting on Artificial and Computational Intelligence (ENIAC) is one of the main national forums for researchers, practitioners, educators, and students to present and discuss innovations, trends, experiences, and developments in the field of Artificial and Computational Intelligence. In particular, ENIAC is the ideal forum for undergraduate and graduate students to get their first experience in a large scientific conference.

Following up on previous years, there will be a special track for papers authored by Undergraduate students.

The 16th ENIAC will be co-located with the 8th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent System (BRACIS) and the 12th Brazilian Symposium in Information and Human Language Technology (STIL).

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SPECIAL TRACK AND BEST UNDERGRADUATE PAPER AWARD

Following up on ENIAC 2018, we will have a special track for papers whose first author is an Undergraduate student. Such papers will undergo the same reviewing process as papers in the main track. However, the best papers in this track will be invited to make an oral presentation in a special session, and will run for the Best Undergraduate Paper Award.

PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

Manuscripts are limited to twelve (12) pages including text, references, appendices, tables, and figures. Articles may be written either in Portuguese or English, using the SBC article style: http://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos.

Papers written in Portuguese must have title and abstract in English. Manuscripts that do not follow the formatting guidelines might be rejected without reviewing.

Submissions should be carried out online using the JEMS system: https://jems.sbc.org.br/eniac2019.

Please select the appropriate track (Undergraduate track for papers whose main author is an Undergraduate student, Main track for the others).

The review process will be double-blind (authors' names and institutions must be omitted in the papers). All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work either in a poster session. A selected group of papers will also be invited to make an oral presentation. All accepted papers will likely be published electronically through the CEUR-WS platform (http://ceur-ws.org). There will be made no distinction between presented in oral and/or poster format in the proceedings.

BEST PAPER AWARD AND SPECIAL ISSUE

Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work in a special session, and will run for a Best Paper Award. These papers might be invited to submit extended versions of their work to be appreciated for publication in special issues of international journals.
