VIII Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering

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 systems are embedded, many 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 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:

All accepted papers will be initially published 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 submitted to indexing services. From these, those with the highest review ranks will be invited to prepare an extended version for consideration of partner Springer Journal on Design Automation for Embedded Systems (pending).

Local Information
Once Brazil’s first capital (1549 -1763), Salvador is now known as “the Capital of joy” mainly due to its many popular parties and festivals, being the week-long carnival celebration perhaps the most famous and one of the biggest in the world. Its cuisine, music, art and architecture are exuberant manifestations of mixing African, European and Amerindian cultures. Salvador is also blessed by its location. Its gorgeous coastline is part of the 2nd biggest bay in the world, which hosts 56 islands. The tropical splendor of Salvador da Bahia, however, can only be truly experienced and contemplated in person.
