-This page contains abstracts published in international scientific
meetings (conferences, symposia, congresses, schools etc.), and a simple
statistics. Some of the papers are in English, some in Portugues.
English translation of the title and the abstract is provided for every
abstract.
The abstract are arranged in chronological order, by the year of the
meetings. By an international meeting is understood any scientific meeting
at international or regional (for example, European, Latin American) meeting,
a national meeting outside of Brasil (that is to say, in another country),
or even a Brazilian meeting with strongly international character (significant
number of foreign participants and/or invited speakers, other languages
in use besides Portugues, abstracts in English etc.).
-Link Abstract leads to the English abstract in html format, with the full reference and other relevant data, and to the keywords, as is in the original publication. If the original paper has abstract and keywords in another language, they are also included.
-Link Paper provides opening, printing
and free dowload of papers in pdf or html format. Papers in html format
usually contain more html or picture format documents, what one should
bare in mind if downloading the complete paper. One should also have in
mind that pdf files as well as pictures made by scanning
paper printouts may be of insufficient quality when downloaded and
then printed; in such cases is better to look after the journal and make
a xerox copy. The papers are usually published in a special issue of some
journal dedicated to the meeting, or are papers published in journals which
are not related to the meeting except in the presented matter.
-Link Annals provides opening, printing and free dowload of papers in pdf or html format. These papers were published in Annals of the meeting or some related meeting.
-Link Poster leads to the download of the poster in pdf format. One may note that the pictures in the pdf format are not always of the high quality. Opening related papers published in journals or annals may help in that.

The icons can be understood as the graphical, artistic or even cultural and historical aspects of the scientific areas covered by the meetings, countries or of the societies by which the meetings were organized.
