The Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures, and Reuse (SBCARS) is a symposium promoted by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) that brings together researchers, students, and practitioners with a wide range of interests on topics related to Software Engineering, including software product lines, component-based software development, software architectures, and software reuse. The Proceedings of SBCARS are published annually, bringing the articles selected for each edition of the event.

Topics of Interest

SBCARS topics of interest are consisted by:

  • Agile software architecture and design
  • Aspect-oriented software development and software modularity
  • Component-based Software Engineering
  • Design patterns
  • Domain analysis and engineering
  • Generative programming and domain-specific languages
  • Mining software repositories
  • Model-driven engineering
  • Program transformation and refactoring
  • Reuse and variability in Open Source Software
  • Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and service-based development
  • Software analysis, comprehension, and reconstruction
  • Software architecture (architecture recovery, architecture description languages, architecture evaluation, reverse architecting, etc.)
  • Software evolution
  • Software metrics
  • Software product lines
  • Software reuse (including technical and non-technical issues)
  • Variability management

There is also interest in experimental studies (controlled experiments, case studies, systematic reviews), experience reports, theoretical contributions, education-related papers, tools, and methods related to all of the above topics.
