V Tools Sessions

---

The SBSeg Tools Session is a meeting forum for developers and researchers interested in the implementation and performance evaluation of systems and tools that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the area of information security and computer systems.

In the Tools Sessions there is an emphasis on demonstrating new systems and tools, on the experience of their development, on issues of implementation and use, and also on the perspectives created by them.

Important Dates

• Paper Registration: July 06, 2021 July 19, 2021
• Submission Deadline: August 06, 2021 August 19, 2021
• Author Notification: August 20, 2021 August 30, 2021
• Event: October 04 to 07, 2021

Topics of Interest

Same as on Main Track.

General Instructions to Authors

The tools should 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 the main functionalities;
• URL where the tool is available (the source code with the license must be present in that URL, not just the binary);
• URL of tool manuals and documentation, including information and requirements for installation;
• Description of the demonstration planned for the Tools Session, informing necessary equipment for this;
• (optional) URL with a video explaining the installation and features of the tool (preview).

Articles can be written in Portuguese or in English; the format must follow the SBC model for publishing articles, available on the SBC portal . Articles are limited to 8 pages, including figures, tables, references and appendices. The submission of articles will be done exclusively in PDF format, through the system SBC JEMS .

All accepted tools must be demonstrated on SBSeg by one of the authors registered for the event.

Specific instructions for the Main Track

The Main Track of the Tools Session has two types of submissions: simplified and normal.

• Simplified Submission Process: The submission process will be simplified if the tool/dataset is the result of a project with an accepted Qualis article, conference or periodical (any stratum). In this case, the Tools Session article must explicitly list the part of the Qualis article you are implementing, accompanied by the contribution of the implementation/tool/dataset in relation to the state of the art. Such submission requires proof of the accepted Qualis article.
• Normal Submission Process: The submission process will be normal for articles that do not fit the simplified submission process.

Track specific instructions focusing on jobs using Blockchain as part of the solution

This year, the Tools Session includes a specific trail focused on works that use Blockchain as part of the solution. In addition to the information presented above, the works submitted for this specific track must:

• Describe the characteristics of the blockchain used;
• Specify why the tool uses blockchain instead of other cryptographic primitives.

Prize: For this special trail, the most innovative solutions that make proper use of Blockchains to solve a real problem will be awarded a cash prize.

Evaluation of Works

The evaluation will take into account the quality, relevance and innovation of the practical results, the documentation, the submitted article and the proposed demonstration for the Tools Sessions. In this edition, the Tools Session will consist of presentations (including demos) of tools.

An evaluation committee will choose the best among the tools accepted and presented at the event.

The works submitted for the Blockchain trail will also be evaluated by a representative of the company Ripple US. For this reason, it is recommended that the tools, articles and presentations are in English. However, the other members of the evaluation committee will be able to assist in the translation in case of eventual submissions in Portuguese.
