The following paper categories are welcome: Technical papers (no more than 15 pages): ---------------------------------------- Papers describing innovative research in the topics of interest of the conference. Papers in this category should describe an original contribution to the topics and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations to the relevant literature. Technical papers are evaluated on the basis of originality, relevance, significance of the contribution, soundness and quality of presentation. When an article builds on previous work by the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution with respect to the previous work should be clearly described. Technical papers should clearly discuss how the results were validated. As in previous years, a set of the best papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication in a journal indexed in the Journal of Citation Reports (Science of Computer Programming Journal or similar). Additionally, the best paper will receive a certificate of recognition. Emerging ideas papers (no more than 8 pages): -------------------------------------------- Papers describing new and unconventional approaches that depart from standard practice, on the topics of interest of the conference. They are intended to describe clear research ideas that are at an early stage of development. Papers on emerging ideas will be evaluated primarily on their level of originality and potential impact on the field with respect to promoting innovative thinking. Therefore, gaps in the state-of-the-art, relevance, correctness and impact of the idea should be accurately described. While it is not necessary to fully validate the idea being presented, a presentation of preliminary results is expected to provide initial information on the feasibility and impact of the contribution. Articles on applied R&D projects or contracts with companies (no more than 4 pages): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These contributions must describe R&D projects that are in progress at the time of submission. For these articles the following information should be included: summary, main objective, beneficiaries of the proposal, technologies used and results obtained (so far and expected). Poster papers (no more than 2 pages): ------------------------------------- Papers describing an idea or initial state of a study, related to the topics of interest of the conference, and without the need to have obtained tangible results at the time of submission. The main objective is to enable conference participants to discuss these ideas with the authors and to contribute new insights to the work in progress. Accepted papers will be presented in poster format in a session in which there will be interaction between authors and conference attendees. In addition, the best poster will receive a certificate of recognition. Submission ----------- All papers must be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2025), using PDF format only. Submissions should follow the Brazilian Computer Society style for conference papers (https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos ). Accepted technical and emerging ideas papers will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be made available through the Open Digital Library of the Brazilian Computer Society - SOL (https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/anais) and Curran Associates (http://www.proceedings.com/), and subsequently indexed in DBLP and Scopus. At least one author of each accepted article must register before the deadline for the final version. One registration corresponds to one paper only. Any author of each accepted paper must present it personally at the conference or the paper will be excluded from the proceedings. If an author has more than one accepted paper, and will present all of them at the conference, it is possible to pay 50% of the registration fee for the second and subsequent co-authored papers. If they are presented by different authors at the conference, each author must pay 100% of the registration fee. Papers that are not within the scope of the conference, do not follow the formatting guidelines, or have been submitted or published in any other forum (conference or journal) will be rejected without review. All other submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. JOURNAL FIRST ============= Authors of papers on the conference's topics of interest accepted in JCR Q1 or Q2 journals are invited to present their research work at CIbSE. This provides an opportunity for authors to discuss their work with the community, as well as to enrich the technical program of CIbSE. Presentations of these papers will be included in the CIbSE 2025 program. There are two main evaluation criteria for selecting papers: (1) the paper addresses one or more CIbSE topics of interest and (2) it describes original results that are not extensions of previous conference papers. In addition, (3) the article must have been accepted for publication in the journal from January 2023 to December 2024, and (4) it must not have been presented at any other conference as a journal-first contribution. Finally, (5) articles must be written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. At least one author of each selected paper must register before the submission date of the final version of the paper and present it at the conference. Authors interested in submitting journal-first articles to CIbSE 2025 should submit their proposals of no more than one page, in PDF format via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2025). The following information should be provided: (i) title of the article; (ii) list of authors; (iii) affiliation; (iv) keywords; (v) journal name and information on its impact factor, ranking and quartile (Q1 or Q2); (vi) DOI; and (vii) abstract. DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM (HYBRID MODE) ================================ The Doctoral Symposium aims to disseminate ongoing research by junior researchers, where a panel of experts will discuss with researchers to suggest new perspectives and improvements to doctoral theses. The research submitted can address any of the topics of interest of CIbSE 2025. We recommend, but do not require, that the research is at an intermediate stage (~2nd year) so that expert suggestions can be included in the PhD thesis. The suggested structure of the articles is as follows: - Introduction to the field of research and identification of the main challenges in the field. - Explicit formulation of the research questions and objectives, justifying why they were chosen. - Summary of the current knowledge of the problem domain as well as the state of existing solutions. - Outline of the research methodology being applied. - Introduction of the proposed solution and the results obtained to date. - Statement of the aspects of the suggested solution that make it different or better compared to existing approaches. - Statement of outstanding issues and description of the next steps that are planned. - List of references. Papers for the Doctoral Symposium will be written exclusively by doctoral students (therefore, the name of the thesis supervisor should not be included). All papers must be submitted in PDF, using the format established by the Open Digital Library of the Brazilian Computer Society - SOL (https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/anais), via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2025). Papers should be written in English, Portuguese or Spanish, and should not exceed 8 pages. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must register before the deadline for the final version. The doctoral symposium follows a hybrid mode, i.e., papers can be presented in person or online. Finally, the best paper will receive a certificate of recognition. INDUSTRY TALKS ================== The aim of the Industrial Talks is to promote the approach between professionals, researchers and teachers of software engineering, allowing to share the problems faced by our engineering in the real world and discussing the possibilities for improving collaboration between the parties, so that we can develop and implement better solutions. During the Industrial Talks, representatives from both SMEs and large companies will participate, as well as representatives from the world of research and R&D&I management organizations. EIbAIS ================== The Ibero-American Advanced School of Software Engineering (EIbAIS) represents the CIbSE's initiative to spread the knowledge of Software Engineering in Ibero-America. EIbAIS aims to promote a forum for discussion on Software Engineering and its related technologies and theoretical foundations, through the participation of professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers. The tutorials are given by volunteers committed to contribute to the CIbSE community and to spread the knowledge of Software Engineering in Ibero-America. EIbAIS is organised in two categories of sessions: (i) on the state of the practice and (ii) on the state of the art. State of the practice sessions offer discussions on topics of general interest and often represent local demand. These sessions support the exchange of knowledge and practical issues with participants, presenting evidence-based Software Engineering results to the audience. Examples of state of the art topics include User-Centered Design, DevOps, Internet of Things, Microservices and Software Engineering for Data Science, Quantum Software Development, among others. State of the art sessions offer discussion on emerging topics of interest and generally represent the perspectives of the Software Engineering research and innovation community. These sessions are intended to provide information on current and future Software Engineering technologies that could represent innovative concepts in the field. The state-of-the-art topics include the same topics of the conference. All participants attending the sessions will receive a certificate of participation, indicating the sessions, lecturers and contents.
