Scope
The Database and Software Engineering communities invite the submission of thematic Workshops to the 2009 SBBD and SBES Symposium.
This year, SBBD and SBES, organized by the Universidade Federal do Ceará, will be held at Fortaleza. They should attract a large audience of professionals and scientists.
Fortaleza (Portuguese for fortress) is the State capital of Ceara, located in the sunny northeastern region of Brazil. With a population of more than 2.5 million, Fortaleza is a modern metropolis with greenish-blue sea, beautiful white-sand beaches, softy wind and a vibrating nightlife. Its complete tourism infrastructure and a rapidly growing industry make it one of the most important cities in the region in economic terms. Apart from its many tourist and gastronomic attractions, Fortaleza holds several academic and research institutions, including three major universities (UNIFOR, UFC and UECE) and several other smaller ones. Its emerging IT industry has been attracting many IT professionals from other regions of Brazil, which has steadily increased the local demand for IT-related university courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The workshops will provide a venue in which participants, from both academia and industry, will be able to gather and exchange experiences. We encourage, but are not limited to, the submission of workshops that relate to the topics of interest listed in the call for papers of both Symposia. Workshops addressing CS Grand Challenges are very welcome (http://sistemas.sbc.org.br/ArquivosComunicacao/Desafios_ingles.pdf and http://www.gd2.ufam.edu.br/).
The workshops will be selected based on:
(i) their relevance and
interest to their intended audience
(ii) the PC Chair CV
(iii) the
selected Program Committee
(iv) the analysis of previous editions (if it is the case)
The number of accepted workshops and occupancy per room are directly related to the availability of meeting rooms at the venue. Proposals must indicate the duration of the workshop: half-day (3 hours), 1-day (6 hours) or 2-days (12 hours). Workshops with 2-day duration shall consider holding the first day on Sunday. The format, acceptance and presentation criteria of the approved workshops will be determined by their organizers.
The workshop invited speakers will be registered with no fees. All the other expenses related to the invited speakers should be covered by the workshop organizers. It is strongly recommended that the invited speaker talk is also open to interested participants of SBBD/SBES.
The SBBD/SBES local organizers will provide logistic support and meeting places. Workshop proceedings will be fully included in the Conference CD. Workshop chairs are expected to provide a short, one page abstract of the workshop for inclusion in the workshop proceedings. Special requests (e.g., transportation, extra banquet tickets) must be arranged by the chair of each workshop.
