Presentation and Objectives

The SBRC Demo Session is a forum for developers and researchers interested in architecture, implementation and practical assessment systems and tools that contribute to knowledge advancement in the distributed systems and computer networks area. With a more practical purpose, the Demo Session has emphasis on demonstrating systems and tools, on the experience of development, deployment and usage issues, and also on the perspectives created by them.

The event will be held in Gramado, as part of the activities of the 37th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC 2019).

Important Dates

Abstract registration: March 25th, 2019
Paper submission: March 25nd, 2019
Results of communication: April 15th, 2019
Sending the final version: April 18th, 2019

Instructions to Authors

Tools must be described in a paper to be submitted electronically through the JEMS system. Papers can be written in Portuguese or English and submitted in PDF format only. Each paper is limited to 8 pages, including an abstract (in Portuguese and English, for papers in Portuguese), figures, diagrams, references, and appendices. Papers must be formatted according to the SBC template.

The paper should contain the following information:

Description and motivation of the problem addressed by the tool;
Architectural solution and description of the main features;
URL where the tool is available (the source code together with its license must be present in this URL, not just the binary);
URL of the manuals and documentation regarding the tool;
URL with a video describing its installation and the functionalities of the tool;
Description of the demonstration planned for SBRC, informing the equipment necessary to do so.

The above information, as well as the actual existence of the specified URLs, are mandatory for the evaluation of the submitted papers. The mandatory video aims to assist the reviewers and readers who, for any reason, have difficulty while installing and/or using the tool. We recommend using a free website, such as YOUTUBE or VIMEO.

Demo Requirements

The Demo Session focuses on experimental data and functional systems/tools which are available for use. Even though ongoing work is also accepted, it must be possible to demonstrate the tool and a URL in which the documentation together with a video on how to install it must be already available at the paper submission.

All accepted tools should be demonstrated in stands and also presented in the conventional format of technical sessions.

Review

The evaluation process will take into account the quality, relevance, and innovation of the practical results, the documentation of the tool, the video, the submitted paper and the statement of demonstration proposed to the SBRC 2019 Demo Session. A specific committee will select the best tool among the accepted ones.
