Brazilian Symposium on Databases - SBBD 2024

SBBD is a traditional event of the Brazilian scientific community, held annually by the Steering Committee of the Special Interest Group on Databases (CEBD) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). The main objective is to integrate the Brazilian community engaged in activities at universities, companies, and research and development centers related to the broad field of data management—including Data Engineering, Data Science, and Databases. The exchange of information, knowledge, and networking in a country of continental dimensions like Brazil is essential for the scientific and technological advancement of our society. Currently, SBBD is the largest event on Big Data management and data science in Latin America.

SBBD 2024 is being organized by the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and generally attracts an audience of approximately 350 participants from across the country, with some international attendees from Latin America and other regions. It is worth noting that a significant portion of the participants are students nearing the completion of their theses, meaning they will soon be entering the job market. Additional information about the event is constantly updated on the web (http://sbbd.org.br/2024), including the schedule and registration details. We have a dedicated outreach team focused on social media and regularly use common academic mailing lists (SBC, with DB-Bras) and global lists (such as DB-world). It is also important to mention that SBBD 2024 offers special registration conditions for groups of students and professors who organize caravans to attend the event.

As in all previous editions of SBBD (since 1986), the symposium includes distinct events, such as:

- Lectures and tutorials delivered by renowned Brazilian and international professionals;
- Presentation of scientific papers on research conducted at leading universities and research centers in Brazil, as well as in collaboration with international institutions and companies;
- Short courses covering state-of-the-art topics, taught by experts from academia or industry;
- Workshops offering a theoretical and practical approach to relevant technologies in the field of data science and management;
- Tool and software demonstration sessions featuring solutions developed in Brazil, also related to data science and management;
- Hands-on workshops that provide participants with direct interaction with cutting-edge products for data science and management;
- Roundtable discussions addressing important topics related to research and technological development.
