Registration
SBMF and ETMF are sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). SBC is a civil, non-profit association that brings together students, professors, professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts in Computer Science from all over Brazil, being the largest scientific society of this field in South America. With 43 years of existence, SBC stimulates the scientific and technological development of Brazil by promoting digital inclusion, encouraging teaching, research, and development activities in Computer Science in Brazil, and contributing to the formation of Computer Science professionals with social responsibility.
The registration fees for SBMF 2020 and ETMF 2020 are listed below. Students and professionals who are not members of SBC can associate or renew their association with a discount during the registration process. Registering for the conference and becoming a member of SBC (combo) is the most advantageous option for the participant who is not yet a member of SBC since he/she will pay less than the option for non-members and will enjoy the benefits of being a member of SBC.

Additional Information
Registration + SBC membership (or membership renewal). These categories refer to a discounted value applied when registering for SBMF/ETMF 2021 and joining SBC. This modality was created to make the sum of those benefits cheaper than acquiring each of them separately, thus being the most advantageous option for a non-member of SBC or is with his/her membership expired or about to expire.
Student registration. Registration fees for students are only available to those who are currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate courses at Higher Education Institutions and do not apply to post-doc researchers. When registering through the ECOS system, an electronic proof of the student status with affiliation, participant's name, course which he/she is enrolled, and current date will be required. Only after SBC verifies the document (which can take up to 1 business day to be analyzed) it will be possible to proceed with the payment of registration. To avoid any inconvenience, it is recommended not registering for SBMF/ETMF 2021 in the last day of the registration range. Payment options will be available only after the SBC's validation. Registrants will receive informative e-mails in all stages of their registration for SBMF/ETMF 2021.
Registration for SBMF authors. Papers accepted to SBMF will be published in a volume of LNCS. At least one author (professional or student) of each accepted paper must be registered for SBMF 2021 and pay the author fee. Authors can not use the registration benefits (exemption or 50% discount) granted by SBC to affiliated institutions. The author fee must be paid until October 31st, 2021.
Printed proceedings. All registered papers will receive a printed copy of the SBMF 2021 proceedings. Non-author participants interested in printed copies of the conference proceedings must pay the Printed Proceedings additional fee.
Payment options. Registrations can be paid by bank ticket, credit card, debit to a Bank of Brazil account, note of commitment or billing through the ECOS system. Registrations can be made until the last day of SBMF 2021, but payments by debit account and bank ticket will be closed on December 1st, 2021. After that date, registration can be paid only by credit card, note of commitment, and billing.
Registrations to be paid by note of commitment or billing. Registrants must access the ECOS system and make their registration by selecting either "Note of commitment" or "Billing" as payment option. Once the payment has been requested, the system will provide the required information that must be in the note of commitment or billing request.
Cancellation policy. Registration cancellation requests made until November 29, 2021 may have a refund of 70% of the amount paid for registration in SBMF / ETMF 2021, the remaining 30% being used to cover administrative costs. After that date, there will be no refund of any paid amount. This policy applies to cancellation of both registration and author fee.
