MAPiS is the first conference organized by the MAP-i first year students, in the context of the Seminar course. The MAP-i Doctoral Programme in Computer Science is a joint Doctoral Programme in Computer Science of the University of Minho, the University of Aveiro and the University of Porto. This programme aims to form highly-qualified professionals, fostering their capacity and knowledge to the research area. This Conference was organized by the first grade students attending the Seminar Course. The aim of the course was to introduce concepts which are complementary to scientific and technological education, but fundamental to both completing a PhD successfully and entailing a career on scientific research. The students had contact with the typical procedures and difficulties of organizing and participate in such a complex event. These students were in charge of the organization and management of all the aspects of the event, such as the accommodation of participants or revision of the papers. The works presented in the Conference and the papers submitted were also developed by these students, fomenting their enthusiasm regarding the investigation in the Informatics area. (...)
