Call for Papers

The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES), annually promoted by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC), is the premier Software Engineering conference in Latin America. SBES is held in conjunction with Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice (CBSoft). The SBES Research Track is the main track of the symposium and publishes solid, well-evaluated contributions regarding originality, presentation quality, and relevance for the Software Engineering area.

Overview

The conference ranking presented on this page highlights leading scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a foremost authority in science research spanning all major fields—including Computer Science—this ranking builds on a tradition of providing reliable data on scientific achievements and contributions since 2014.

Each conference’s position is determined using a uniquely constructed bibliometric score created by Research.com. This score comprehensively incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of prominent scientists who have participated in each conference over the past three years, offering a robust and multidimensional assessment of conference impact and prestige.

The 2024 ranking encompasses up-to-date Impact Score values, meticulously gathered on November 27, 2024. In preparing this authoritative list, our team conducted a rigorous analysis of more than 2,742 individual conferences. This selection emerged following a thorough, expert-led review of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the preceding three years by 13,184 recognized leaders in Computer Science.

The result is a comprehensive and trustworthy guide designed to assist the global research community in identifying the conferences that set the standard for excellence and influence across the discipline. For a detailed explanation of the methodology used to compute these ranking scores, please refer to our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Alessandro Garcia (10 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • José Carlos Maldonado (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Fabiano Cutigi Ferrari (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Christina Chavez (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Tayana Conte (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of São Paulo (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Federal University of São Carlos (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Federal University of Pernambuco (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (5 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2016 edition, 11.76% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 73.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 6.67% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
