SBSeg 2025: XXV Brazilian Symposium on Cybersecurity
Foz do Iguaçu – PR – September 1-4, 2025
IX Tools Session of SBSeg 2025
CALL FOR PAPERS
PRESENTATION
The Tools Session of the Brazilian Symposium on Cybersecurity (SBSeg) is a forum for developers and researchers interested in implementing and evaluating the performance of systems and tools that contribute to the computer security information and computer systems advancement of knowledge.
Tools Session emphasizes demonstrating new systems and tools, the development experience, implementation issues and use, and the created perspectives.
The event companion proceedings will be published as open-access in SBC OpenLib (SOL) at https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/sbseg_estendido.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Submissions must fall into one of the following categories:
Open Source – authors must make the tool’s source code and documentation available in a public repository, present the tool at the event, and provide a detailed technical video of the tool. The authors are candidates for awards (best work) from the Tools Session.
Closed Source – authors may not make the source code and documentation of the tool available in a public repository, but must present the tool at the event and provide detailed technical video of the configuration, operation, and results (or data) of the tool. The authors of this modality are not candidates for Tools Session awards.
The modality must be explicitly indicated in the work, below the title, for evaluation purposes. For submission, the tools must be presented in an article that contains the following information:
– Description and motivation of the problem solved by the tool;
– Solution architecture and description of main functionalities;
– Description of the demonstration planned for the Tools Session, informing equipment necessary for this;
– URL where the tool is available (mandatory in the Open Source category);
– URL of the tool’s manuals and documentation, including information and requirements for installation (mandatory in the Open Source category);
– URL with a video explaining the installation and functionalities of the tool (mandatory in the Closed Source category and optional in the Open Source category).
Articles can be written in Portuguese or English; their formatting must follow the SBC model for publishing articles, available on the SBC portal (https://www.sbc.org.br/documentos-da-sbc/summary/169-templates-para-artigos-e-capitulos-of-books/878-templatesforpublishingarticles).
Articles have a limit of 8 pages, including figures, tables, references, and appendices. Articles will be submitted exclusively in PDF format, through SBC’s JEMS system (https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=4548).
All accepted tools must be demonstrated at SBSeg by at least one of the authors registered at the event.
All papers will be evaluated by a board of reviewers following a double-blind review process (where the authors’ identities are concealed from both the reviewers and vice versa). This means that SUBMISSIONS MUST BE ANONYMOUS.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Registration and Submission of Articles: May 18h, 2025
- Notification to authors: July 14th, 2025
- Final version by: July 20th, 2025
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The same themes and topics as the SBSeg Main Track.
USE OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Check the new SBC CODE OF CONDUCT
(https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/indice/conduta), especially regarding Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
ARTIFACT INSTRUCTIONS
In 2025, the Tools Session requires authors to submit an annex detailing the artifacts related to the submitted article, which may include software, data, complementary documentation, raw results, proofs of concept, models, detailed evaluations, benchmarks, etc.
The artifacts annex will be submitted along with the article and evaluated by a specific committee, which will assign the seals of Available Artifacts (SeloD), Functional Artifacts (SeloF), Sustainable Artifacts (SeloS), and Reproducible Experiments (SeloR).
The artifact is an essential resource for research work and its quality is as important as that of the scientific article itself.
The artifact evaluation process will be based on the evaluation process carried out by renowned conferences such as USENIX, CoNEXT, SIGCOMM, and EuroSys. We recommend that the authors read the descriptions of the seals available for artifacts and the description of what is expected of an artifact.
Instructions and requirements for presenting artifacts can be found at https://sbseg2024.ita.br/autores/suggestoes-para-artefatos/.
Instructions and requirements for presenting artifacts will be disclosed soon.
AWARDS
The best works will receive an award.
The selection of the best works will consider the work’s artifacts. A technical quality assessment committee of artifacts will evaluate all accepted works, including aspects such as availability, functionality, reproducibility, and sustainability.
Only those with a positive evaluation of at least two aspects of the artifact will compete for the best work awards.
