ii) Report of Experience

Is a precise and objective description of an investigative task or of an intervention between teaching or diffusion of mathematics, including a detailed description of  methodology, theoretical foundations that motivated the activity as well as the obtained results. However, it should not limit itself to a description, providing and analysis of the experience and its results, based on the conception of the performed task, the technical apparatus which founded it and, possibly, on similar experiences, thus allowing for the presentation of proposals originating by the reported experience.

iii) Area/Subarea Survey

A survey consists of a bibliographic survey of and area/subarea, exposing current research, results obtained, problems in need of study as well as the major researchers of the area, similar to the surveys of the major international journals.
