Call for participation. - LATAM SCHOOL - CBSoft 2023 - Campo Grande

Call for Participation

It is a great pleasure to invite students and young researchers to
APPLY for this fantastic opportunity to learn about careers and
research and attend CBSoft 2023, sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT.

We invite applications for the 3rd Latin American School of Software
Engineering. The school will take place in person, collocated with
CBSoft 2023. The school welcomes students and young researchers from
Latin American institutions and organizations. The main goal of this
school is to help new and future Software Engineering researchers to
be part of the larger software engineering community, launching a
successful career and managing the challenges while feeling joy in
their life as researchers. The school will also enable the
participants to explore potential pathways and understand more about
the academic challenges and opportunities. Students will have an
excellent opportunity to interact with top researchers and learn about
their careers, how to publish, and hear about important topics usually
not covered during their studies.
In addition to the outstanding keynotes, we will provide a mentoring
section. Students will be grouped by software engineering topics and
have at least one mentor. The mentoring section will happen with
students presenting a poster with a 1-2 minute lightning talk about
their research. Also, students should be prepared to answer questions
about their research and ask questions to the mentors.

Eligibility

The applicants must be:

Ph.D. or MSc students from Latin American institutions; or who
received the Ph.D. degree on or after 2022 and work in Latin American
organizations/universities;
Highly motivated undergraduate students might be accepted; and
Working with software engineering topics.

There are limited spots (maximum of 50 students) to be filled for this
school that will be given to Latin American applicants. We will select
the participants based on different criteria to ensure the adequacy of
the school and diversity. We encourage all those interested in
applying!

How to apply?

You need to provide the following documents:

A structured abstract is required with the headings: Context/Problem,
Aims, Method, and Results (Expected Results) written in English. Just
so you know, no specific template is required. The structured abstract
must explicitly describe the research plan the students are conducting
(1-page limit).
A Poster: The poster should outline the research with interesting
commentary about what you learned. It should be a balance of visuals
and text. It must present the research overview, research questions,
method, results obtained, and future plans. The poster size should be
122cm (height) and 92cm (width). Use large fonts, such as font size
36-48 for section headings and font size 20-28 for text.
Students must send a document containing a list of papers published in
journals and conferences between 2021 and 2023. The document must
present the Year of Publication, Paper Title, Conference or Journal |
List of Authors | and Link to the student DBLP pointing to the paper.
We will only consider the conferences and journals available at
CSIndex (https://csindexbr.org/) - Software Engineering (list of
TOP-15 best conferences and TOP-15 Journals). Students can also
include the Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) and the
Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development (JSERD).

Submissions should be electronically made through JEMS
(https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=4361).

Selected participants will receive

Free registration for the School (including lunch and coffee break)
Free registration for attending CBSoft 2023
Students will be ranked by the number of publications, posters, and
structured abstract quality. The following cost allowance will be
provided:

TOP-3 Best applications from LATAM participants (excluding Brazilians)
will receive a cost allowance after proving they will attend the LATAM
School (e.g., air/bus tickets, hotel payment reservation). The cost
allowance is limited to R$2,500 (Brazilian Reais).
TOP-17 Brazilian applications will receive a cost allowance after
proving they will attend the LATAM School (e.g., air/bus tickets,
hotel payment reservation). The cost allowance is limited to R$1,500
(Brazilian Reais).

Important Note: The free registration to attend CBSOFT 2023 excludes
the publishing fee for any CBSoft event.

This fantastic deal is only possible due to generous sponsorship from
ACM SIGSOFT. Upon acceptance to the school, participants will receive
an email detailing the registration procedure.
