Call for Papers
This conference event shall host fundamental topics on
Informatics. In addition, its scope is not just limited
to fundamental theory, but it should also cover the impact
of Informatics on society and human life, and it
shall furthermore complement theory foundations with
technical considerations and practice. Today, most
research focuses on technical aspects of Informatics, but
this event shall serve as well as platform for an
exchange of ideas, which respect that all technology
primarily has to serve human in their daily life and ease
daily demands and problems. In this context non-technical
people, handicapped people and third world have
to be addressed by appropriate solutions and adequate
engineering. Also in the technical realization of the
principles of Informatics, the human factor plays an
important role when Informatics is applied in
manufacturing, engineering, and administration processes.
Main
topics have been identified (see below). However,
innovative contributions that don’t fit into these areas
will also be considered since they might be of benefit to
conference attendees.
Acceptance will be based primarily on originality,
significance and quality of contribution.

research results and have 8 pages at the maximum
(5,000 words).
-
Short Papers – These are mostly composed of work
in progress reports or fresh developments and have
4 pages at maximum (2,500 words).
-
Reflection Papers – These might review recent
research literature pertaining to a particular problem
or
approach, indicate what the findings suggest, and/or
provide a suggestion - with rationale and
justification - for a different approach or perspective
on that problem. Reflection papers might also
analyze general trends or discuss important issues in
topics related to the conference. These have 4
pages at maximum (2,500 words).
-
Posters / Demonstrations – These contain
implementation information or work-in-progress and have

itself (or demonstration) that will be exposed
at the conference.
-
Tutorials – Tutorials can be proposed by scholars
or company representatives. A proposal of maximum
250 words is expected.

contributions from well-known scholars and company
representatives. An abstract will be included in the
conference proceedings.
-
Panels – Discussions on selected topics will be
held. A proposal of maximum 250 words is expected.
