The Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC) is an initiative of the research communities originally associated with the Real-Time Systems Workshop (WTR, since 1998), the Operating Systems Workshop (WSO, since 2004), the Embedded Systems Workshop (WSE, since 2009), and the Critical Embedded Systems Conference The synergy between these areas and the fact that the design of computing systems is an increasingly multidisciplinary task resulted in the major event in the field in Latin America, covering all aspects of Computing Systems Engineering. The event is promoted by the Technical Committee on Computing Systems Engineering (CE-ESC) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).

Scope

Modern computing systems are becoming increasingly diversified. Nowadays, we live among Systems of Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Ubiquitous Computers, the Internet of Things, and Autonomous Vehicles. Many of these systems are embedded, many are subject to real-time constraints, and most of them run a non-conventional operating system. In this context, the term Computing Systems Engineering involves techniques related to the safe, correct, and deadline-compliant development of such systems.

Topics of Interest

Applications (including Automotive, Avionics, and Aerospace)
Control and Automation
Design Methodologies, Languages, and Tools
Distributed Systems
Electronic System Level, Synthesis, and Co-design
Fault Tolerance and Dependability

Paper Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit original research papers for presentation at the symposium. Papers can be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, must be formatted according to the IEEE two-columns conference template, and the resulting PDF must not exceed 8 pages. Online submissions through SBC's submission system only.
All accepted papers will be initially published online at the symposium web site. Full papers written in English and presented at the symposium will be subsequently published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted for inclusion in IEEEXplore. From these papers, those with the highest review ranks will be invited to prepare an extended version for consideration of partner journals. Copyright will be handled by SBC for papers in Portuguese (you can get the form here) and by IEEE for papers in English.

Local Information

Florianópolis is the capital city of the state of Santa Catarina, in the South region of Brazil. The city encompasses Santa Catarina Island and surrounding small islands, as well as part of the mainland. The city is known for having the country's third-highest Human Development Index score among all Brazilian cities (0.847). The city is considered safe by Brazilian standards. The economy is heavily based on information technology, tourism, and services. The city has 60 beaches and is a center of surfing activity. The New York Times reported that "Florianopolis is the Party Destination of the Year in 2009." Newsweek placed Florianópolis in the "Ten most dynamic cities of the world" list in 2006. Veja, a Brazilian publication, named the city as "the best place to live in Brazil." As a result of this exposure, Florianópolis is growing as a second home destination for many Paulistas, Argentines, North Americans, and Europeans.
