*** LOCATION

The 15th edition of the Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering
(SBES'2001) will be held at IME-RJ, in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Rio de Janeiro is a great touristic place
(http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/riotur/index.htm). IME-RJ is located at
the basis of Sugarloaf access on the coast of Vermelha beach.
IME headquarters appear in
(http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/riotur/rioingle/grai02.htm)
as the light pink buildings.
The symposium site also faces a wonderful public footpath that
surrounds the Urca Hill along the sea.

"The height and unmistakable outline of Sugarloaf make it -
together with Christ the Redeemer one of the two main attractions
offering breathtaking views of Rio. This famous landmark is
reached by cablecar in two stages: first to the top of Urca Hill,
where visitors catch the second car to their final destination.
 From the Sugarloaf, the endless beaches of Rio de Janeiro
and Niteroi stretch to the horizon. Set against the lush Atlantic
Rainforest, the scene is dotted with historical buildings such as
the Santa Cruz Fort and the miniature palace on Fiscal Island."

*** INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Although submissions in Portuguese and in Spanish will be
considered for evaluation, the recommended submission language
is English; only papers in English will entitle to the BEST
PAPER AWARD (see below).

Papers submitted to SBES'2001 should not be under evaluation
for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted
electronically using the Web page at the following address
(this page should be available by April, 2001):

		 http://www.cos.ufrj.br/sbes2001

The paper itself should NOT have any identification of the
authors. Authors' identification should only be provided at
the submission page.

The submitted papers will be evaluated based on originality,
relevance, technical quality, result validation, and presentation.
Theoretical papers should emphasize their contribution to the
practice of Software Engineering. Papers about practical
experiments should describe the method used and interpret their
qualitative and quantitative results. Each submission should stress
its importance and contribution to Software Engineering, presenting
a comparison with related work. The selected papers will be
presented during the symposium and published at the SBES
proceedings.
The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of the authors
will register for the conference and thus present the paper.


BEST PAPER AWARD

This award will be given to the best paper as selected by the
steering committee. Only papers originally submitted in English
will be considered by the committee for the award.


PAPER FORMAT

Papers must be no longer than 16 A4 pages (single column),
including all the figures and references.
Font: Tms Roman 12 pt (or similar)
Margins:
  Up: 3.5 cm
  Down: 2 cm
  Left and Right: 2.5 cm

All submissions must be either in ghostview-readable PostScript
