SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We invite authors to submit high-quality research papers
describing
significant, original, and not previously published results on
Software
Engineering in any of the official CIbSE languages: English,
Spanish, and
Portuguese.
The following paper categories are welcome.
Technical papers (not exceeding 15 pages): papers describing
innovative
research on the conference's topics. Papers in this submission
category
should describe a novel contribution to the topics and carefully
support
novelty claims with citations to the relevant literature.
Technical papers will be evaluated by originality, soundness,
relevance,
the importance of contribution, the strength of validation,
quality of
presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work. If a
submission
builds upon the previous work of the author(s), the novelty of the
new
contribution must be described clearly concerning the previous
work. In
addition, technical papers need to discuss openly how the results
were
validated.
Emerging Ideas papers (not exceeding 8 pages): papers describing
new,
non-conventional approaches that depart from standard practice on
the
conference topics. They are intended to describe clear research
ideas early
in the investigation.
Emerging ideas papers will be assessed primarily on their level of
originality and potential for impact on the field regarding
promoting
innovative thinking. Hence, inadequacies in the state-of-the-art
and the
pertinence, correctness, and impact of the idea must be described
precisely. While the idea described does not need to be fully
validated, a
presentation of preliminary results that provide initial insights
into the
feasibility and the impact of the idea is expected.
Any paper not in the scope of the conference, not following the
formatting
guidelines, or was submitted or published in any other forum
(conference or
journal) will be desk-rejected without review. All other
submissions will
be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the Program
Committee.
Among the technical articles presented at the conference, a set of
the best
articles will be selected for publication in a WoS-indexed
journal.
Additionally, the best paper will receive an award certificate.
Submission
All papers must be submitted through EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2023), using PDF
format only.
Submissions must be formatted according to the style of the
Brazilian
Computing Society for conference papers (
https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-de-livros/878-modelosparapublicaodeartigos
).
The accepted papers will be included in the proceedings made
available
online by the Digital Open Library of the Brazilian Computing
Society - SOL
(
https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/anais) and Curran Associates (
http://www.proceedings.com/) and later indexed by DBLP and Scopus.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the
camera-ready deadline. One registration corresponds to only one
paper. An
author of each accepted paper must present in person, or the paper
will be
excluded from the proceedings. If an author has more than one
accepted
paper, paying 50% of the registration for the second and following
co-authored papers is possible.
Journal First
Authors of papers on the topics of interest of the conference and
accepted
in Q1 or Q2 JCR journals are invited to present their research
work at
CIbSE. This opportunity allows the authors to discuss their work
with the
community and enrich the technical program of CIbSE. Presentations
of
journal-first papers will be included in CIbSE 2023 main track.
The main evaluation criterion for selecting journal-first papers
is the
description of original results that are not extensions of
previous
conference papers. In addition, the paper must have been accepted
for
publication in the journal no earlier than January 1st, 2022, and
must not
have been presented at any other conference as a journal-first
contribution.
At least one author per selected journal-first paper must register
and
attend the conference to present it.
Authors interested in presenting journal first papers at CIbSE
2023 must
submit their proposals in PDF format through EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2023). The following

-
Introduction of the proposed solution and the results achieved so
far
-
The statement in what aspects the suggested solution is different
or
better as compared to existing approaches
-
An indication of the outstanding issues and a description of the
planned
next steps
-
Provision of a list of references
Doctoral Symposium papers shall be authored by the doctoral
candidate
exclusively (thus, the supervisor's name should not be included).
All
papers must be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibse2023). Submissions

EIbAIS
The Advanced Ibero-American School on Software Engineering
(EIbAIS)
represents the CIbSE initiative to disseminate Software
Engineering
knowledge in Ibero-America. It started as a natural evolution of
the CIbSE
tutorials and short courses.
EIbAIS aims to promote a forum for discussions related to Software
Engineering and its related technologies and theoretical
foundations via
the participation of practitioners, undergraduate and graduate
students,
and researchers. The lectures are presented by volunteers
contributing to
the CIbSE community and spreading Software Engineering knowledge
in
Ibero-America.
EIbAIS is organized into two categories of sessions:
state-of-the-practice
and state-of-the-art modules.
The modules regarding the state-of-the-practice offer discussions
on topics
of general interest and usually represent local demand. These
modules
support knowledge sharing and practical issues with the
participants,
presenting evidence-based software engineering results to the
audience.
Examples of state-of-practice topics include User-Centered Design,
DevOps,
Internet of Things, Microservices, and Software Engineering for
Data
Science.
The modules regarding the state-of-the-art offer discussion on
topics of
prospective interest and usually represent the perspectives of the
Software
Engineering research & innovation community. In addition,
these modules
intend to provide information on ongoing and next-to-coming
Software
Engineering technologies candidates that could represent
breakthrough
concepts in the field. Examples of state-of-the-art topics include
the same
topics of interest at the conference.
All participants participating in sessions will get a certificate
of
participation indicating the modules, lecturers, and contents.
Industry Talks
The Industry Talks aim at providing the industry and practitioners
with the
means to present and discuss their current work addressing
real-world
applications of Software Engineering. Talk exploring best
practices,
problems and solutions, emerging challenges in the industry, and
other
Software Engineering-related topics are welcomed. Practitioners
and
researchers are invited to work together to explore how Software
Engineering processes, methods, techniques, and tools can provide
the
industry with better solutions.
