TUTORIALS
The Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD) is the leading event in Big Data and Data Science in Latin America. SBBD 2026 invites submissions of tutorial proposals. Each tutorial will be presented in up to 3 hours. We will consider proposals for introductory and advanced tutorials on topics of interest to the event. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics described at https://sbbd.org.br/2026/trilha-principal.
Introductory tutorials should target an audience composed of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as industry participants. In this context, tutorials can be considered as “refresher courses,” although they should not cover traditional “textbook topics.” Advanced tutorials, on the other hand, should cover the state of the art of a topic, motivating and exposing possible research questions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Tutorial proposals should include a cover page, followed by a description of no more than 5 pages:
Cover page
- Tutorial title, full names of the authors, affiliations, emails, and URLs of their home pages (if available).
- Tutorial type (introductory or advanced).
- Target audience and its presumed background.
- The language in which the tutorial will be presented (English or Portuguese).
- A summary (maximum of 100 words) describing the main objective of the tutorial.
Description (max 5 pages)
- Tutorial outline (list of topics, and a brief description of how the topics will be addressed), allowing for evaluation of scope, comprehensiveness, relevance, interest, and originality.
- If the proposed tutorial has already been presented previously, indicate the event in which the tutorial was presented, and what differences are proposed for SBBD 2026.
- Essential references.
- A brief biography of the authors (up to 20 lines per author).
- Name of the presenter(s) if the tutorial is proposed by more than one author. Authors may share the presentation, meaning more than one author can present the tutorial (the event guarantees support for only one of the presenters – additional support depends on event resources).
- Required audiovisual equipment (e.g., multimedia projector and computing resources).
Submission Guidelines
Tutorial proposals submitted may be written in Portuguese or English. Submitted proposals will be analyzed based on originality, relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation.
Tutorial proposals should be sent by email as PDF attachments to karin.becker@inf.ufrgs.br with the subject line “SBBD 2026 Tutorial Proposal”. File formats other than PDF will not be accepted.
SBBD 2026 reserves the right to reject all submitted tutorial proposals and to include presentations by invited tutorials.
