The VII Workshop on Ongoing Thesis and Dissertations of WebMedia (WTD 2007) is a forum dedicated to the presentation and discussion of ongoing MsC and PhD work in the areas of Multimedia, Hypermedia and Web. The main goal of this track is to stimulate debates where students have a feedback for their work and also have an overview of the national research status in the area. The track also aims at stimulating integration and cooperation of researchers giving a wider visibility of the current researches for the academic and industrial community.
All papers submitted to the WTD-WebMedia will be peer-reviewed by members of an Evaluation Committee. The selected work will be presented during the Workshop and should receive feedback from the audience. We expect to favor, at the end of the event, the integration between Universities and between students and professors.
Authors are invited to submit original work, containing the proposals and partial results of their scientific or technological research activities. The topics are the same of the symposium, which can be found here.
Authors must use the JEMS/SBC system to electronically submit their MsC/PhD work overview. Paper can be written in English or in Portuguese, but only the PDF format is accepted. Papers must follow the style guidelines of ACM (see the template here) and should contain up to 5 pages.

Short courses, presented in Portuguese (exceptionally in English or Spanish), should target undergraduate students, graduate students and/or professionals. They should cover topics of interest related to the symposium themes. Authors should submit an up to 4-page proposal for an 8-hour course that should include: :
- an abstract,
- a description of the target audience, including prerequisite knowledge;
- a high-level table of contents with text explaining what will be covered in each topic;
- an explanation about the course attractives for the target audience;
- authors' biographies,
- indication of which author will present the course,
- A/V equipment requirements (unfortunately, it will not be available infrastructure for practical labs).
Authors of selected courses are expected to produce a 40-page text that will be published in a volume dedicated to short courses. The text format should be in accordance with the SBC template (download the template [.doc]). One presenter for each course will have its registration offered by the event organization. The symposium organizers will be seeking funding for the presenter from various government and industrial agencies to pay for his/her transportation and lodging. Technically, we can't promise this support, however, in the last editions of WebMedia we could provide lodging and transportation for presenters coming from others states of Brazil.
Important Dates:- Deadline for proposals: May 28, 2007
- Notification: June 22, 2007
- Final version: August 14, 2007
The proposal must be electronically submitted through the SBC/JEMS system.
