Dear Researcher.
The BTSym'21 organizing committee invites researchers to attend and submit papers addressing the current research topics of interest. In 2021, the event after three days in duration, on November 8th, 9th and 10th, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, Campinas-SP (from 9:00am to 10:00pm). Proceedings of the event will be published by the Springer Nature publisher through the book Proceedings of the 7th 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.
