XVI Iberoamerican Conference on Software Engineering - CIbSE 2013
http://cibse2013.ort.edu.uy
8 - 10 April, 2013
Montevideo, Uruguay

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
----------------------------------------
CIbSE (former IDEAS) is the leading research forum on Software-Engineering in Iberoamerica. The main objectives of this conference is to promote high-quality scientific research in iberoamerican countries, supporting the researchers in this community to publish and discuss their work, also fostering collaboration and cross-fertilization among research initiatives. Building over the experience with 15 successful previous editions, CIbSE 2013 will be held in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The event will include research paper presentations, tutorials, doctoral symposium, workshops, and keynote speeches by renowned iberoamerican researchers. Full paper submissions will be divided in 3 independent tracks: Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering (16th WER) and Experimental Software Engineering (10th ESELAW). CIbSE official languages are: Spanish, Portuguese and English.

SUBMISSIONS AND PUBLICATION
---------------------------------------------
We invite contributions in the form of papers, tutorials, and doctoral work related to CIbSE's conference themes. Submissions are accepted in Spanish, Portuguese or English

Long papers should not exceed 14 pages in Springer-Verlag's LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submissions should be sent via the EasyChair submission system considering a specific track. They will be peer reviewed according to their relevance, originality, technical quality, and adequacy to the conference topics. These submissions may be accepted for presentation as long papers, short papers, or posters, whose final quality will be supervised by the program committee. We are working to publish the best CIbSE 2013 papers in an international journal special issue. In addition, the best conference paper will receive an award.

Tutorial proposals should not exceed 6 pages, and should include the following information: title, abstract (up to 200 words), keywords, presenters (name, e-mail, affiliation, address, and brief biography), goals of tutorial and targeted audience. Tutorial proposals should be sent to the tutorials chair, according to the instructions provided in the CIbSE 2013 website.

The doctoral symposium aims to bring together doctorate students to promote discussions and the exchange of ideas in a constructive and critiquing atmosphere. Proposals should not exceed 6 pages and should include a clear description of the problem addressed in your doctoral work, the state-of-the-art, the research methodology, the project plan, and preliminary results, highlighting the contributions of the proposed solution. Proposals should be sent to the doctoral symposium chair, according to the instructions provided in the CIbSE 2013 website.
