The Brazilian Symposium of Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC) aims to establish contacts and instigate discussions about several topics related to the development of computing systems, fostering the integration and dissemination of know-how among researchers, students and professionals of the field. Therefore, we invite authors to submit original research papers and experimental results related to the design, implementation, analysis and evaluation of computing systems.

Scope
Modern computing systems are becoming increasingly diversified. Nowadays we hear about Systems of Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Ubiquitous Systems, Internet of Things, and so on. Many of these embedded systems are subject to real-time constraints and most of them run an operating system. In this context, the term Computing Systems Engineering involves techniques related to the efficient, energy-aware, 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
* Formal Methods and Verification
* Internet of Things, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing
* Multiprocessor/Multicore/Manycore Systems
* Networking and Communication Protocols
* Performance Evaluation and Optimization
* Power, Energy and Thermal Aware Systems
* Quality of Service
* Resource Management
* Run-time Support Systems (including Virtualization, Storage, and File Systems)
* Scheduling and Schedulability Analysis Security
* Verification, Validation and Test of Systems
* Wireless Sensor Networks
* Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis

Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit original research papers for presentation at the symposium. Papers can be written in English or Portuguese, and must be formatted according with the IEEE two-columns symposium template. The resulting PDF must not exceed 8 pages. Online submissions through SBC's submission service only.

Note to authors: 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 publication in IEEE Xplore and indexing services. From these, those with the highest review ranks will be invited to prepare an extended version for consideration of partner journals: ACM SIGOPS Operating System
Review, Springer Journal on Design Automation for Embedded Systems (to be confirmed), and Elsevier Journal on Science of Computer Programming (to be confirmed). Copyright will be handled by SBC for papers in Portuguese and by
IEEE for papers in English.

Venue
Curitiba is the largest city in southern Brazil and is considered a model city in terms of urban planning and public transport. Curitiba is a vibrant touristic city. It has several tourist attractions such as: Oscar Niemeyer Museum, the Wire Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Ecological University, Tanguá Park, 24 hours Street, and Largo da Ordem street market. In addition, Curitiba is considered the “Ecological capital” due to its 18 parks and 15 woods in the urban area of the city.
Besides the already mentioned touristic attractions, there are several monuments and tourist sites dedicated to migrants: German Woods, Memorial of the Polish immigration, Portugal Woods, Ukrainian Memorial and Japan Square. Curitiba is located at the mountain range area of Paraná, about 90 Km from the Brazilian coast, 400 km from São Paulo, 300 km from Florianópolis, and 630 km from Foz do Iguaçu (the waterfalls at the triple border between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina).
