Dear Researcher,
The BTSym'19 organizing committee invites researchers to attend and submit papers addressing the current research topics of interest. In 2019, the event after three days in duration, on October 22nd, 23rd and 24th, at the Mackenzie University, Campinas-SP (from 2:00pm to 7:00pm). Proceedings of the event will be published by the Springer Nature publisher through the book Proceedings of the 5th Brazilian Technology Symposium - Emerging Trends and Challenges in Technology, and this book will be published in the series "Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies".
Indexing: The books of this series "Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies" are submitted to ISI Proceedings, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Springerlink.
