SBSEG'08

The Brazilian Symposium on Information and Computer System Security (SBSeg) is a scientific event promoted annually by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). It has been held as a workshop between 2001 and 2004 together with the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems (SBRC). From 2005 on, concomitantly to the establishment of the SBC´s Special Interest Group on Information and Computer System Security, SBSeg evolved into a full-fledged symposium. That allowed it to satisfy the growing demands by the Brazilian academia/industry for such a forum, as well as become the premier symposium in the country for the presentation of research and activities related to information and computer system security.

The eighth edition of the SBSeg will take place from September 1st to 5th in Gramado, Brazil, under the organization of the Institute of Informatics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The symposium will provide the delegates with a rich variety of activities, such as technical sessions, short courses, keynote speeches by distinguished Brazilian and international experts, panels, and workshops.
