Submissions must fall into one of the following categories:
Open Source – authors must make the tool’s source code and documentation available in a public repository, present the tool at the event, and, optionally, provide a detailed technical video of the tool. The authors are candidates for awards (best work) from the Tools Session.
Closed Source – authors may not make the source code and documentation of the tool available in a public repository, but must present the tool at the event and provide detailed technical video of the configuration, operation, and results (or data) of the tool. The authors of this modality are not candidates for Tools Session awards.
The modality must be explicitly indicated in the work, below the title, for evaluation purposes. For submission, the tools must be presented in an article that contains the following information:
– Description and motivation of the problem solved by the tool;
– Solution architecture and description of main functionalities;
– Description of the demonstration planned for the Tools Hall, informing equipment necessary for this;
– URL where the tool is available (mandatory in Open Source mode);
– URL of the tool’s manuals and documentation, including information and requirements for installation (mandatory in Open Source mode);
– URL with a video explaining the installation and functionalities of the tool (mandatory in Closed Source mode and optional in Open Source mode).
Articles can be written in Portuguese or English; their formatting must follow the SBC model for publishing articles, available on the SBC portal (https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-of-books/878-templatesforpublishingarticles). Articles have a limit of 8 pages, including figures, tables, references, and appendices. Submission of articles will be done exclusively in PDF format, through SBC’s JEMS system (https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=4548). All accepted tools must be demonstrated at SBSeg by at least one of the authors registered at the event.
All papers will be evaluated by a board of reviewers following a double-blind review process (where the authors’ identities are concealed from both the reviewers and vice versa). This means that SUBMISSIONS MUST BE ANONYMOUS.
