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. In this edition,  SBBD will be organized in cooperation with ACM/SIGMOD.

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 and a Demos (Tools) Session as co-located events.

For the 2016 edition, SBBD will accept JIDM Papers, Full, Short and Vision Papers. SBBD will have two cycles for full paper submissions. Each cycle involves two rounds of reviewing with rebuttal to allow minor revisions.

SBBD 2016 will be organized by Fraunhofer Project Center for Software and Systems Engineering of the Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

JIDM PAPERS

Submissions in this category should present new and exciting research results in any of the SBBD topics of interest. JIDM papers should describe complete research results. They must not have been simultaneously submitted to any other forum (conference or journal), nor should they have already been published elsewhere.

They must be written in English and formatted according to the JIDM template. Papers must be submitted using the SEER submission site. Submissions will be judged by the JIDM editorial board. For this category, submissions are made continuously throughout the year. Authors of papers that are accepted until August 8th will be invited to present their paper during SBBD 2016 and the paper will be published in the Journal of Information and Data Management (JIDM).

FULL PAPERS

Submissions in this category should present research results and discussion in any of the SBBD topics of interest. They are mainly targeted to the Brazilian DB community for research diffusion. Full papers submitted to SBBD 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. Submitted papers will be reviewed based on originality, relevance, technical soundness and clarity of presentation.

Full papers must be written in Portuguese or English and not exceed 12 pages, according to the SBC template. The templates for submission are available here. Papers must be submitted by the deadline through EasyChair website at  for submissions in the first cycle and at  for submissions in the second cycle.

Short papers submitted to SBBD 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. Submitted papers will be reviewed based on originality, relevance, technical soundness and clarity of presentation.

This category will also accept industrial related papers, presenting innovative commercial data management systems, solutions, and architectures, database implementations, novel applications of database technology, and experience in applying recent research advances to real-world problems.

Short papers must be written in Portuguese or English and not exceed 6 pages, according to the SBC template.  Papers must be submitted by the deadline through EasyChair (short papers).

VISION PAPERS

Submissions in this category should describe visionary ideas to be presented at the conference. Vision papers should present new problems, new application domains, or new methodologies that are likely to stimulate significant new research. Research results and experiment description are not required in this type of submission. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of its authors will register for the symposium to present it.

They must be written in Portuguese or English, append “Vision Paper:” to the title, and not exceed 6 pages, according to the SBC template.  Papers must be submitted by the deadline through EasyChair (vision papers).

OTHER INFORMATION
