WTAG (Undergraduate Student Research Workshop) is an event held in conjunction with the SBBD (Brazilian Symposium on Databases) that aims to promote the participation of undergraduate students and recent graduates in the production and dissemination of work related to topics in the Database area. The VII WTAG will be held during SBBD 2026. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting partial or final results of their technological and scientific research, including: Undergraduate Research projects (IC), Technological Initiation projects (IT), Undergraduate Final Projects / Capstone Projects (TCC), software implementations, and independent research or development projects that address the topics of interest of SBBD 2026.
The same topics of interest as SBBD 2026.
Paper submission will be exclusively electronic, through the JEMS system. For submission, authors must write papers in English or Portuguese, limited to six (6) pages of content, including the abstract (and abstract in English for papers written in Portuguese), figures, diagrams, and appendices, plus one additional page for: references, AI usage statement, and description of the origin of the work (e.g., undergraduate final project, undergraduate research, extension activity, course project, etc.). Papers must be formatted according to the SBC paper template.
All submissions will undergo a peer-review process conducted by the WTAG Program Committee, and the selected papers will be scheduled for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings. For a paper to be published in the proceedings, the student author of each accepted paper must register for SBBD 2026 and present the work at the event.
Each paper must have at least two authors: (1) an undergraduate student or recent graduate (graduated in 2024 or 2025), and (2) the faculty advisor of the work. The student must be the first author of the submitted paper.
The use of generative AI tools (such as LLMs) must be explicitly declared in the submission, briefly indicating their purpose (e.g., language revision, assistance with text structuring, generation of examples). Full responsibility for the content remains with the human authors, including verification of all bibliographic references, in accordance with the SBC Code of Conduct for Authors.
For award purposes, the accepted papers will be evaluated by a specific WTAG Award Committee, considering both the reviews received during the evaluation process and the quality of the oral presentation delivered by the student.
The best papers will be honored with a certificate at the end of the WTAG.
