WTICG accepts submissions from undergraduate students currently enrolled or recent graduates who completed their studies at the end of the first or second semester of 2023. The student’s status must be confirmed with documentation issued by the university, college, or institute and submitted along with the final version of accepted papers.
Authors are invited to submit works such as Scientific Initiation (SI) projects, final course projects (FCP), or independent projects developed during undergraduate studies and supervised by one or more professors, either ongoing or completed in 2022 or 2023.
Completed works or those with relevant results should be submitted in the WTICG Full Papers track, while works in progress should be submitted in the WTICG Ongoing Works track.
Undergraduate students or recent graduates whose papers are accepted at WTICG will have their registration fees for SBSeg subsidized by the Student Grant program of the Special Commission on Information and Computational Systems Security (CESeg) of the Brazilian Computer Society, which aims to encourage student participation in WTICG.
Article submissions will be exclusively electronic through the link submissoes.sbc.org.br/sbseg2024 of SBC’s JEMS system.
Articles can be written in Portuguese or English and must be submitted only in PDF format, following the SBC template for article publication, available on the SBC Portal (https://tinyurl.com/templates-sbc).
Articles submitted to WTICG must represent works with original content. Submitting articles under review or published in other conferences or journals is prohibited.
Categories and page limits
(Categories and page limits for both the version submitted for review and the final version of accepted papers)
Full papers: up to 10 pages of main content, excluding additional pages with appendices (which are not mandatory for the evaluation of the paper) and references.
Work in progress: up to 5 pages of main content, excluding additional pages with appendices (which are not mandatory for the evaluation of the paper) and references.
The purpose of the appendices is to provide additional information on the topics presented, but reading them should not be necessary for understanding and evaluating the main content. Such appendices are expected not to exceed 40% of the volume of the main content.
The main content should include the title page, authorship (only in the final version), affiliation (only in the final version), abstract, and summary.
The page limits above must be strictly adhered to by the authors, under penalty of early rejection without evaluation of the content.
The text of the work must be thoroughly anonymized, avoiding any mention of authorship, even indirectly via references (for example), as the review process will be double-blind (authors and reviewers anonymous).
The following criteria will be considered in evaluating the papers: originality, relevance, presentation, results, and technical quality.
Papers selected by the evaluation committee will be published (in digital format) provided that at least one of the authors is registered for the event and presents the paper.
An evaluation committee will select the best among the full and ongoing papers presented at the event by students or recent graduates.
To ensure the minimum quality of submitted papers, authors should read the **Authors’ Suggestions** (https://sbseg2024.ita.br/autores/sugestoes-de-texto/). These suggestions aim to guide young authors in writing and presenting quality papers. It represents a compendium of tips and suggestions, with pointers to other complementary documents. Ensuring the minimum quality of the work is the duty and responsibility of all authors.
Use of GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
We request that all authors review the new SBC CODE OF CONDUCT, available at https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/indice/conduta, especially the part related to the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
