Aiming to collaborate with e-Science efforts, proposing a forum for the discussion of relevant topics in this area of study, the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) will hold, on July 22 and 23, 2018*, the 12th edition of the Brazilian e-Science Workshop (XII BreSci).

The event is part of the activities of the XXXVIII SBC Congress and will be based at the Natal Convention Center (CCN), in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Registration will be open from the beginning of February, but the submission of papers is already open and ends on March 16.

In addition to the broader and more ICT-related main track, the workshop also has a specific application trail to discuss topics related to particular areas of e-Science application, including (but not limited to) bioinformatics, astronomy, chemistry and informatics in biodiversity.

Both the main and application tracks will accept submissions of complete articles (up to eight pages) and short articles (up to four pages), written in English or Portuguese. The format of the articles should be the SBC (http://sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-for-articles-and-book-capitulos/878-modelsforapublicofarticles).

All submissions will be reviewed according to the following criteria: suitability for workshop scope, relevance, technical quality, originality and clarity. Articles describing preliminary and ongoing work may also be submitted. Results are desirable (especially in full articles), but not required. Papers will be reviewed in pairs, and the selected papers will be published in the annals of the event and should be presented in technical sessions during the workshop.

Submissions should be made via the SBC submission system (JEMS): https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/csbc2018_bresci.
