SBRC 2011
29th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
May 30 - June 3, 2011 - Campo Grande, Brazil - http://sbrc2011.facom.ufms.br/

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
(SBRC) is an annual event promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society
(SBC) and the National Computer Networks Laboratory (LARC). SBRC has
become the most important scientific event on computer networks and
distributed systems in Latin America. The large number of submitted
papers and attendees in recent years attest its importance: the number
of attendees per year varies from 800 to 1,200, and the paper
acceptance rate is less than 30%, with over 300 submissions registered
in each of the past few years.

In its 29th edition, SBRC will be held
from May 30 to June 3, 2011 in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. Campo Grande
is the gateway to Pantanal, the world's largest wetland, which is
famous for its flora and fauna. In 2011, the College of Computing of
the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) is organizing the
event. The symposium will be composed of technical sessions, panels,
several related workshops, a tools session, invited talks, and
tutorials presented by internationally acclaimed researchers. Specific
calls to the several activities during SBRC will be later announced.
Authors of the best papers selected for publication and presentation
in SBRC 2011 will be invited to submit an extended version of their
work to the Brazilian Journal of Computer Networks and Distributed
Systems (RB-RESD).
