Instructions For Authors

Although submissions in Portuguese and in Spanish will be considered for evaluation, the recommended submission language is English; only papers in English will entitle to the BEST
PAPER AWARD (see below).

Papers submitted to SBES'2001 should not be under evaluation for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted electronically (this page should be available by April, 2001).

The paper itself should NOT have any identification of the authors. Authors' identification should only be provided at the submission page.

The submitted papers will be evaluated based on originality, relevance, technical quality, result validation, and presentation. Theoretical papers should emphasize their contribution to the practice of Software Engineering. Papers about practical experiments should describe the method used and interpret their qualitative and quantitative results. Each submission should stress its importance and contribution to Software Engineering, presenting a comparison with related work. The selected papers will be presented during the symposium and published at the SBES proceedings.

The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will register for the conference and thus present the paper.

Best Paper Award

This award will be given to the best paper as selected by the steering committee. Only papers originally submitted in English will be considered by the committee for the award.

Papers must be no longer than 16 A4 pages (single column), including all the figures and references.
