Presentation and Objectives
The Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC) is the most important forum of the research and development community on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems in Brazil. Among the main activities of the SBRC are the short courses, which allow the community to update itself on topics not normally covered in curriculum structures or that arouse great interest among academics and professionals. Proposals are welcome in recent or under-explored areas and topics with great potential to attract the interest of students and professionals in order to better qualify them for their research and/or job market. Short courses may be submitted covering the topics suggested in the SBRC 2020 Call for Papers or even others that the authors deem relevant.
Text Book
Authors of the selected short courses should produce a chapter for publication in the book “Minicursos SBRC 2020”. The chapter should be written in Portuguese or English and contain between 40 and 50 pages, following the SBC format, available at www.sbc.org.br, section Documents-> Publications-> Templates for Articles and Book Chapters.
