5th Brazilian Symposium on Computing System Engineering

The Brazilian Symposium on Computing System Engineering (SBESC) is an initiative of the research community originally associated with three events: the Brazilian Workshop on Real-Time Systems, created in 1998; the Brazilian Workshop on Operating Systems, created in 2004; and the Brazilian Workshop on Embedded Systems, created in 2010. The identification of a strong synergy among these research areas added to the fact that designing computing systems is an increasingly multidisciplinary task and motivated the workshops to move from their native conferences to form an independent symposium. From the beginning, the symposium has been holding the Brazilian Embedded Systems School. In 2013, the symposium incorporated another related research community, which is focused on topics related to Critical Embedded Systems such as system safety and dependability. In the same year, it also started to host the Education Forum in Computing Engineering and the Embedded Systems Competition organized by Intel. This year, SBESC was colocated with the 5th IFIP International Embedded Systems Symposium.
