Manuscript/Video Preparation and Submission

• Activities of the software development process (specification, design and implementation, validation and verification, and evolution);
• Supporting activities of the software development process (project management and configuration management);
• Software engineering research (such as tools to support conducting empirical studies or systematic literature reviews).

• The paper must be original and not submitted or published in other academic vehicles.
• The paper should clearly include:
• Description of the motivation/problem addressed by the tool;
• Description of the main functionalities and potential users of the tool;
• Usage example and screenshots illustrating the tool interface (where applicable);
• Description of the tool architecture, core components, and their interfaces;
• A brief comparison with existing related tools; and
• The type of software license.
• Papers must be no longer than 6 pages, including all figures (in good quality), references and appendices, and formatted according to the ACM 2-column conference (ACM_SigConf) format. Papers may be written in Portuguese or English. Papers in Portuguese must also include an abstract in English. Papers must be submitted in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
• A link to a demo video with audio describing the steps and with high resolution (details of the tool's functionality should be clearly visible) MUST be appended at the end of the paper abstract. The video must be from three to five minutes long. It should demonstrate tool usage and highlight its main contributions. The video should also provide an overview of the tool, its goals and envisioned users, main features, and outputs.
• The demo video should be hosted in a permanent location (archived on preserved digital repositories such as zenodo.org, figshare.com, www.softwareheritage.org, osf.io). Hosting one version of the video on streaming platforms (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo) is also encouraged to make it easier for the reviewers and the general audience to watch.
• Authors are strongly encouraged to make the code and datasets of their academic tools open source and provide a URL for them with the submission. Once again, preserved digital repositories are preferred (Zenodo, FigShare, SoftwareHeritage, etc.).
• The demo must present the tool with audio in the same language in which the paper is written.
• The Tools Track will use the single-blind reviewing model, so please include the authors’ identities in the submission materials.
• Papers should be submitted electronically through JEMS.
