X Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering

November 24-27, 2020 - Florianópolis, Brazil

The Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC) is an
initiative of the research communities originally associated with the Real-Time
Systems Workshop (WTR, since 1998), the Operating Systems Workshop (WSO, since
2004), the Embedded Systems Workshop (WSE, since 2009), and the Critical
Embedded Systems Conference (CBSEC). The synergy between these areas and the
fact that the design of computing systems is an increasingly multidisciplinary
task resulted in the major event in the field in Latin America, covering all
aspects of Computing Systems Engineering. The event is promoted by the
Technical Committee on Computing Systems Engineering (CE-ESC) of the Brazilian
Computer Society (SBC).

* Scope
Modern computing systems are becoming increasingly diversified. Nowadays, we
live among Systems of Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Ubiquitous Computers, the
Internet of Things, and Autonomous Vehicles. Many of these systems are embedded,
many are subject to real-time constraints, and most of them run a
non-conventional operating system. In this context, the term Computing Systems
Engineering involves techniques related to the safe, correct, and
deadline-compliant development of such systems.

* Topics of Interest
- Applications (including Automotive, Avionics, and Aerospace)
- Control and Automation
- Design Methodologies, Languages, and Tools
- Distributed Systems
- Electronic System Level, Synthesis, and Co-design
- Fault Tolerance and Dependability
- Formal Methods and Verification
- IoT, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing
- Multiprocessor/Multicore/Manycore Systems
- Networking and Communication Protocols
- Performance Evaluation and Optimization
- Power, Energy and Thermal Aware Systems
- Quality of Service
- Resource Management
- Run-time Support Systems (including Virtualization, Storage, and File Systems)
- Scheduling and Schedulability Analysis
- Security
- Verification, Validation and Test of Systems
- Wireless Sensor Networks
- Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis

* Paper Submission
Prospective authors are invited to submit original research papers for
presentation at the symposium. Papers can be written in English, Portuguese, or
Spanish, must be formatted according to the IEEE two-columns conference
template, and the resulting PDF must not exceed 8 pages. All accepted papers
will be initially published online at the symposium web site. Full papers
written in English and presented at the symposium will be subsequently published
by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted for inclusion in
IEEEXplore. From these papers, those with the highest review ranks will be
invited to prepare an extended version for consideration of partner journals.

* Dates
Paper submission: Aug 2, 2020 (BRT)
Notification of acceptance: Sep 14, 2020
Final version of the papers: Oct 5, 2020
Symposium: Nov 24--27, 2020

* Venue
Florianópolis is an island in the South Atlantic famous for its beaches, the
practice of sports and one of the highest HDI (0.847) in Brazil. Its economy is
is heavily based on information technology, tourism, and services. The symposium
will be held at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).
