Submission Instructions

Papers submitted to the SBRC 2025 Interaction with Industry and Innovation Track must be classified into industry talks or industry exhibitions. Submissions will be exclusively electronic through the SBC JEMS3 system. Papers can be written in Portuguese or English and submitted only in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Each paper is limited from 4 to 6 pages, including abstract, figures, diagrams, and references. Papers should be formatted according to the SBC's Article Publication Template. It is also important to note that submitted papers must adhere to the SBC's Code of Conduct for Authors in Publications, approved by the SBC Council in February 2024.

The accepted papers will be published in the SBC-OpenLib (SOL), which grants open and free access to the scientific community. Publication of accepted papers requires at least one author's registration for SBRC 2025 and the oral presentation (industry talk) or showcase (industry exhibition) of the paper during the symposium.
