SCOPE

The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) is the flagship event on software engineering in Brazil. Promoted annually by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), the event typically has gathered nearly 500 people, including researchers, students, and practitioners.

SBES is an event of the I Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice (CBSoft), which will also host SBLP (XIV Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages) and SBCARS (IV Brazilian Symposium on Components, Software Architecture and Software Reuse). In its 24th edition, the symposium will be held at the Bahia Othon Palace Hotel, Salvador, Bahia, from September 27 to October 01, 2010.

The symposium program includes invited talks, courses, panels, demonstration of software tools, a PhD and MSc thesis workshop, and several other satellite events. This CFP is seeking high quality papers to be presented at SBES. Topic of interest are (suggested, but not limited to):

• Agent-oriented SE
• Aspect-oriented SE
• Component-based SE
• CSCW and SE
• Experimental SE
• Industrial applications of SE
• Methods, techniques, languages and tools for SE
• Model driven software development
• Requirements Engineering
• SE for the World Wide Web
• Software maintenance
• Social aspects of SE
• Software metrics and measurement
• Software dependability
• Software processes (including agile methods)
• Software product lines
• Software quality and quality models
• Software reengineering
• Software reuse
• Software verification, validation and testing
• Theoretical foundations of SE and formal methods

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submitted papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submission in English is strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings are made available at the IEEE Digital Library. Papers submitted to SBES must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been published elsewhere. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it.

Submitted papers will be reviewed at least by three referees, based on its originality, relevance, technical soundness and clarity of presentation. They must be no longer than 10 A4 pages (double column), including all the figures and references. All submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must follow the IEEE conference format available at:
http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confpubcenter/pdfs/samplems.pdf

Papers should be submitted electronically at the following address:

BEST PAPER AWARD

Every year the SBES Steering Committee appoints a committee to award the best papers of the symposium. These papers are indicated to a journal special edition and are recognized during the event. Journals that have recently published the SBES best papers include: The Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society (JBCS), Journal of Systems and Software (JSS), IET Software, and Information Systems (INS).
