Insightful Ideas and Emerging Results Track – CBSoft :: VIII Congresso Brasileiro de Software

Call for Insightful Ideas and Emerging Results Papers
SBES 2017: 31st Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering
September 18 – 22, 2017 Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil
http://www.sbc.org.br/cbsoft2017

The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES), annually promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), is the premier Software Engineering event in Latin America. SBES is held in conjunction with CBSoft – Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice. The CBSoft program includes technical research sessions, insightful ideas sessions, industry sessions, invited talks, courses, tutorials, panels, demonstration of software tools, a Ph.D. and M.Sc. theses workshop, and several other satellite events. It traditionally gathers nearly 600 people, including academics, practitioners, and students.

In 2017, SBES will include three tracks. The Research Track publishes solid results with a strong contribution to the Software Engineering community. The Insightful Ideas and Emerging Results Track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to submit and present innovative and promising ideas, as well as results in early stages of research. The Education Track (former FEES – Forum of Education in Software Engineering) publishes papers that address challenges, innovations, and best practices in Software Engineering education.

For details of the Research Track and the Education Track, please refer to the specific calls for papers or access the conference website.

THE INSIGHTFUL IDEAS AND EMERGING RESULTS TRACK

This track focuses on new and inspiring ideas with promising future results, as well as on research work in progress with preliminary and interesting results.

The track welcomes innovative new software engineering approaches – methods, techniques, tools – in early stages of research.

Papers on this track are reviewed based on its novelty, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation, and must be no longer than 6 pages (ACM style), including all figures and references.

The track has been organized since SBES 2015.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION

Papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submission in English is strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings are indexed in the ACM Digital Library. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it. 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. They must be no longer than 6 pages, including all figures and references. Papers should be submitted electronically through JEMS system (http://submissoes.sbc.org.br). All submitted papers should inform after the abstract the language. Submissions that are not in compliance with the required submission format or that are out of the scope of the symposium will be rejected without reviewing. All other papers will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. The review process includes a rebuttal period where authors will have access to reviews and may argue and answer questions from referees before the final acceptance/rejection decision. The rebuttal is limited to a plain text up to 4,000 characters.
