CLEI (Latin-american Center for Informatics Studies) is a non profit institution comprising more than 80 universities and research centers, having as main goals to improve Computer Science research and education in the region. The CLEI Electronic Journal (CLEIej, ISSN 0717- 5000, DOI: 10.19153/cleiej) ) is the flagship publication of CLEI. CLEIej is an open access, single-blind peer-reviewed journal and its current publication frequency is three issues per year. The CLEI Electronic Journal was created in 1998 to foster research in Computer Science in Latin America and provide a forum to increase world-wide visibility of the work currently being done in the region. The journal receives submissions of original, unpublished research from all the world, including (but not limited to) people cooperating with Latin America or researchers of Latin American origin. As part of the above stated objectives, CLEIej welcomes proposals for special issues devoted to a subject of current interest, eventually linked to a scientific event held in the region. Researchers interested in exploring this possibility should contact the Editor-in-Chief. CLEIej is supported by its home institution, CLEI, and by the contribution of the Latin American and international researchers community, and it does not apply any author charges whatsoever for submitting and publishing. Since its creation in 1998, all contents are made publicly accesibly with no charges. The authors retain the copyrights of the published articles. The current license being applied is a (CC)-BY license (effective October 2015; between 2011 and 2015 a (CC)-BY-NC license was used).
