CALL FOR PAPERS - 2nd CYCLE OF SUBMISSIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

SBBD is the official event on databases of the Brazilian Computer
Society (SBC). It is the largest venue in Latin America for
presentation and discussion of research results and applications in
the database domain. It usually gathers 400 attendees.

Along with technical sessions, the symposium includes invited talks
and tutorials given by distinguished speakers from the national and
international database research community. SBBD also promotes a Thesis
Workshop, a Demos (Tools) Session, and a Thesis and Dissertation
Contest as co-located events.

For the 2017 edition, SBBD will accept JIDM Papers, Full, Short and
Vision Papers. Moreover, SBBD 2017 introduces is a new type of
