The Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC) is an annual event held by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the Computer Networks Laboratory (LARC). For more than three decades, SBRC has become the most important national scientific event in computer networks and distributed systems, and one of the most popular in computing. The importance of the SBRC can be observed by the number of submissions of works and of participants in its diverse editions. Traditionally, the event is composed of technical sessions, mini-courses, panels and debates, workshops, tool-room, lectures and tutorials given by internationally renowned guests. The Proceedings of SBRC are published annually, bringing the articles selected for each edition of the event.
