CTDIA expects papers with concluded work, with evaluation and results. CTDIA papers should include the following information in the first page after the abstract: student level (MSc or PhD), date of conclusion, examining board members, and pointers to an on-line version of the full dissertation or thesis (that can be written in English or in Portuguese) and also to all publications derived from the research work. In addition, they should include the name of the advisor (and co-advisors) as co-authors.

CTDIA will have two phases: in the first phase (until August, 16), which will be eliminatory, a set of works will be selected based on the quality of the submitted paper; in the second phase, the selected works will be presented and judged during the SBIA-2010. Notice that in the first phase, the main object of judgment is the paper; while in the second one, the main object of judgment is the full thesis or dissertation.

Submissions violating the formatting guidelines will be excluded from the reviewing process.

Papers must be submitted using the JEMS system:
