“…Over this period, a few hundred researchers have served as members of the SBES PC. This paper is an extension of a short paper published in SBES in 2019 (Pacheco et al, 2019). In the SBES short paper, we initially explored the research questions: (1) how has the number of members participating in the program committee evolved over the years?…”

The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) is one of the most important Latin American Software Engineering conferences. It was first held in 1987, and in 2019 marks its 33rd edition. Over these years, many researchers have participated in SBES, attending the conference, submitting, and reviewing papers. The researchers who participate in the Program Committee (PC) and perform the reviewers' role are fundamentally important to SBES, since their evaluations (e.g., deciding whether a paper is accepted or not) have the potential of drawing what SBES is now. Knowing that diversity is an important aspect of any group work, we wanted to understand diversity in the SBES PC community. We investigated a number of characteristics of SBES PC members, including their gender and geographic location. We also analyzed the turnover and renovation of the committee. Among the findings, we observed that although the number of participants in the SBES PC has increased over the years, most of them are men (∼80%) and from the Southeast and Northeast of Brazil, with very few members from the North region. We also observed that there is a small turnover: during the 2010 decade, only 11% of new members were added to the PC. Finally, we investigated the participation of the PC members publishing papers at SBES. We observed that only 24% of the papers accepted to SBES were authored by members who were not committee members of the respective year. Moreover, committee members usually do not collaborate among themselves: a significant number of the papers are authored by the PC members and students. This paper may contribute to the SBES community, in particular, its special interest group, in understanding the needs and challenges of the PC's participants.

“…Monteiro et al [2017] investigaram a evolução das publicações de 10 edições do SBES em temas relacionadosà Engenharia de Software Experimental. Recentemente, Pacheco et al [2019] estudaram a diversidade do comitê de programa do SBES em termos do gênero e da localização geográfica de seus integrantes. Em outrasáreas,é possível encontrar estudos sobre redes de colaboração em eventos nacionais como o Simpósio Brasileiro de Sistemas Colaborativos (SBSC) [Steinmacher et al, 2013] e o Simpósio Brasileiro sobre Fatores Humanos em Sistemas Computacionais (IHC) [Gasparini et al, 2014].…”

“…Em 2021, será realizada a 35 a edição do SBES. Ao longo de sua existência, centenas de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros publicaram artigos abordando os mais variados temas [Silveira Neto et al, 2013] e atuaram como membros de seu comitê de programa [Pacheco et al, 2019]. No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre o quão aberta ou fechadaé a comunidade do SBES para a participação de novos autores independentes, cujos trabalhos não tenham sido realizados em colaboração com pesquisadores que já fazem parte da comunidade.…”

O Simpósio Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software (SBES) é o principal evento da comunidade brasileira de Engenharia de Software. No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre o quão aberta ou fechada é a comunidade do SBES para novos pesquisadores independentes. Este artigo analisa a “abertura” da comunidade do SBES em termos do percentual de artigos publicados nas edições de 2015 a 2020 cujos autores não atuaram como membros do comitê de programa nem publicaram artigos em cinco edições anteriores do evento. Os resultados mostram que o SBES é um evento de difícil acesso a novos pesquisadores, com cerca de 91%, em média, dos artigos publicados na trilha de pesquisa tendo pelo menos um autor que já faz parte da comunidade.
