SPIRE & LA-WEB, 2014
SPIRE 2014 is the 21st edition of
the International Symposium on String Processing and Information
Retrieval. LA-WEB 2014 is the 9th edition of the Latin American
Web Congress. Both conferences will be held in Ouro Preto, Brazil
from 20-24 October, 2014. SPIRE will be held in the first three
days of the week (20-23 October, 2014), whereas LA-WEB will be
held in the last three days of the week (22-24 October, 2014), so
that SPIRE and LA-WEB will share joint-sessions on October 22nd,
2014. The conferences will be co-organized by the Department of
Computer Science (www.decom.ufop.br) of the Universidade
Federal de Ouro Preto (www.ufop.br) and by the Department of
Computer Science (www.dcc.ufmg.br) of the Universidade Federal
de Minas Gerais (www.ufmg.br).
The scope of the SPIRE series of symposia includes not only fundamental algorithms in string processing and information retrieval, but also SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA sequencing, and Web mining. Given its interdisciplinary nature, SPIRE offers a unique opportunity for researchers from these different areas to meet and network.
LA-WEB aims at providing a venue in Latin America for researchers and technologists from around the world to present, demonstrate and discuss the latest Web developments. LA-WEB is endorsed by the IW3C2 International World Wide Web Conference Committee and the proceedings of LA-WEB 2014 will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS).

About SPIRE
SPIRE 2014 is the 21st edition of
the International Symposium on String Processing and Information
Retrieval. The event has been held under this title annually
since 1998. The four first events concentrated mainly on string
processing (SP), and were held in South America under the title
South American Workshop on String Processing (WSP) in 1993 (Belo
Horizonte, Brazil), 1995 (Valparaiso, Chile), 1996 (Recife, Brazil), and 1997 (Valparaiso,
Chile).
WSP was
transformed into SPIRE in 1998 (Santa Cruz, Bolivia) when the
scope of the event was broadened to include also information
retrieval (IR). The change was motivated by the increasing
relevance of information retrieval and its close
inter-relationship with the general area of string processing.
From 1999 to 2007, the venue of SPIRE has been alternating
between South / Latin America (odd years) and Europe (even
years), with Cancun, Mexico in 1999, A Corua, Spain in 2000,
Laguna de San Rafael, Chile in 2001, Lisbon, Portugal in 2002,
Manaus, Brazil in 2003, Padova, Italy in 2004, Buenos Aires,
Argentina in 2005, Glasgow, UK in 2006, and Santiago,
Chile in 2007. This pattern was broken when SPIRE 2008 was held
in Melbourne, Australia, but it was probably
restarted in 2009 when the venue was Saariselk, Finland. In
2010 SPIRE took place in Los Cabos, Mexico and in 2011 SPIRE was
held in Pisa,
Italy, in 2012 it was held in Cartagena
de Indias, Colombia, and in 2013 it was held in Jerusalem, Israel. Look here for a complete history of the SPIRE
series of symposia.
About LA-WEB

About Ouro Preto
SPIRE and LA-WEB 2014 will take place in the historic town of Ouro Preto, Brazil. Ouro Preto is located approximately 100 km from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Famous for its magnificent well-preserved Portuguese colonial architecture, Ouro Preto was the first city in Brazil to be declared World Cultural and Historical Heritage Site by UNESCO. The 18th- and 19th-century churches decorated with gold and Baroque sculptures make the city a prime tourist destination.
Conference Venue:
The conference will be held at the historical building of the centenary Escola de Minas (Mining School), situated at the center of Ouro Preto.

La-Web 2014 Demo Track
October 24th, 2014
Call for Demo Papers:
Starting this year, the Latin American Web Congress (La-Web'2014) will have a demo track in order to provide a venue for presentation of practical work in the field of Web and its related areas.
Demo papers must be in English (4 pages) and formatted in accordance with the instructions provided on the Conference Publishing Services (CPS) (For your submission you can use the standard conference templates). Submissions are single-blinded (not anonymized). Accepted papers for the demo track will be published in the La-Web'2014 proceedings by the CPS and be submitted to the Digital Library.
Demo papers must be submitted exclusively through LA-WEB 2014 demo paper submission Web site. By submitting a paper, its authors commit to having the paper presented at the conference and demonstrating the system during the demo session.
The scope of the La-Web 2014 Demo Track is the same as for the World Wide Web Conference. The instructions on the characteristics of the expected demo paper were taken from the WWW'2014 call for papers (Demo Track ).
The Demo Track allows researchers and practitioners to demonstrate new systems in a dedicated session. Demo submissions must be based on an implemented and tested system that pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the conference. Demos from the traditional research community are of course strongly encouraged, but proposals from other activity areas are also welcome. Software (including games or learning platforms) and hardware demos will also be considered, as long as they show innovative use of Web-based techniques.
Each demo submission must make clear which aspects of the system will be demonstrated, and how. They should strive to state the significance of the contribution to Web technology or applications. Demos will be peer-reviewed by members of the Demo Track Program Committee, who will judge the originality, significance, quality, and clarity of each submission.
To better identify the value of
demos, as well as to reach out to external audiences, we also
encourage authors to submit a pointer to a screencast, using
web-accessible platforms such as Vimeo or Youtube. The maximum
duration of screencasts is 10 minutes. Running systems
demonstrated are also welcome.
