PRESENTATION
The Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures, and Reuse (SBCARS) is promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and attracts researchers, students, and practitioners interested in a broad range of software engineering topics, including software product lines, component-based development, architectures, and reuse. Previous editions of the symposium offered a strong technical program, keynote talks by leaders in the field, and tutorials regarding state-of-art topics. SBCARS 2017 intends to continue this tradition.
In this context, we are looking for high-quality submissions for SBCARS 2017. We invite authors to contribute with technical papers related (but not limited) to the following themes:
– Agile software architecture and design
– Aspect-oriented software development and software modularity
– Component-based software engineering
– Design patterns
– Domain analysis and engineering
– Generative programming and domain-specific languages
– Mining software repositories
– Model-driven engineering
– Program transformation and refactoring
– Reuse and variability in Open Source Software
– Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and service-based development
– Software analysis, comprehension, and reconstruction
– Software architecture (architecture recovery, architecture description languages, architecture evaluation, reverse architecting, etc.)
– Software evolution
– Software metrics
– Software product lines
– Software reuse (including technical and non-technical issues)
– Variability management
We are also interested in experimental studies (controlled experiments, case studies, systematic reviews), experience reports, theoretical contributions, education-related papers, tools, and methods related to all of the above topics.

VENUE
SBCARS 2017 is a part of the 8th Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice (CBSoft 2017), which will also host three other Brazilian symposia:
– 31th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES 2017)
– 21th Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP 2017)
– 2nd Brazilian Symposium on Systematic and Automated Testing (SAST 2017)
CBSoft and SBCARS 2017 will take place in Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará, Brazil, one of the main tourist destinations in Brazil.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Papers written in Portuguese need to be submitted with the title, abstract, and keywords written in English. Submissions in English are strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper in person during the event. Otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings.
It is strongly encouraged that authors check papers from previous editions of SBCARS to reference related work whenever it is applicable. This might motivate and improve discussions between researchers working in the same area during the symposium. SBCARS’ papers published in previous editions are available at http://dblp1.uni-trier.de/db/conf/sbcars/index.html
All submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must comply with the ACM 2-column conference (ACM_SigConf) format available at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Submissions not in compliance with the required format and out of the technical scope will be rejected without reviewing.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three referees, based on its originality, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation.
Papers should be submitted electronically through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sbcars2017
BEST PAPERS AND SPECIAL ISSUE
SBCARS organizers will award the Best Papers prize of the symposium, which will be announced during the event. The authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of the JBCS – Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/13173).
