The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) is the premier
software engineering event in Brazil. The event is annually promoted by
the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and it typically gathers nearly 500
people, including academics, practitioners, and students.

SBES is held in conjunction with CBSoft =96 Brazilian Conference on
Software: Theory and Practice. The symposium program includes technical
research sessions, invited talks, courses, panels, demonstration of
software tools, a PhD and MSc thesis workshop, and several other
satellite events. This call for papers (CFP) invites researchers and
practitioners to submit original and unpublished papers for the event
technical research track.

This CFP welcomes technical papers related (but not limited) to:
    - Industrial applications of software engineering
    - Social aspects of software engineering
    - Software dependability
    - CSCW and software engineering
    - Model-driven software development
    - Requirements engineering
    - Experimental software engineering
    - Agent-oriented software engineering
    - Aspect-oriented software engineering
    - Component-based software engineering
    - Software engineering for the World Wide Web
    - Theoretical foundations of software engineering and formal methods
    - Software product lines
    - Software maintenance
    - Methods, techniques, languages, and tools for software engineering
    - Software metrics and measurements
    - Software processes (including agile methods)
    - Software quality and quality models
    - Software reengineering
    - Software reuse
    - Software verification, validation, and testing

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted papers can be written in Portuguese or English. Submission in
English is strongly encouraged since the symposium proceedings are
submitted to the IEEE Digital Library. Moreover, only papers written in
English will be eligible for the SBES best papers award. Papers
submitted to SBES must not have been simultaneously submitted to any
other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been
published elsewhere. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one
of its authors will register for the symposium to present it.

Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three referees, based
on its originality, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of
presentation. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages, including all
figures and references.

The review process includes a rebuttal period where authors will have
access to reviews and may argue and answer questions from referees
before the final acceptance/rejection decision. The rebuttal is limited
to a plain text up to 3000 characters.

All submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must
comply with the IEEE 2-column conference format available at
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.htm=
l.
Papers should be submitted electronically through JEMS system
(http://submissoes.sbc.org.br).


MENTORING PROGRAM
In this 28th edition in 2014, SBES brings a novelty. Authors that never
published in SBES or at any other prestigious conference in the field
(on the program committee coordinator's discretion) may request to
participate in the Mentoring program. The program will assign a member
of the program committee to make a preliminary assessment of the work
and give feedback before the submission deadline, increasing the chances
of less experienced and authors from other areas. Check the deadline to
join the program in the Important Dates section, but we encourage the
request to be made as soon as possible, since the number of papers in
the program is limited and the assignment will be made in a first come
first serve basis. ATTENTION, to join this program none of the authors
may have previous publication in any SBES edition or other prestigious
conferences. The request must be made exclusively by the email
[email protected] with the subject "Participation in the SBES
2014 Mentoring". You should include in the email body the working title
of the work, the full list of authors, and an abstract.


BEST PAPER AWARD
Every year the SBES Steering Committee appoints a committee to award the
symposium=92s best papers. Only papers written in English will be eligible
for the SBES best papers award in this year=92s issue. Awarded papers are
announced during the event and invited to be submit as an extended
version to a special issue of the Journal of Software Engineering
Research and Development (JSERD).
