The document summarizes the structure of Thematic Groups within the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). SBC has three types of Thematic Groups organized hierarchically: 1) Major Areas which represent groups of Special Commissions in a thematic area, 2) Special Commissions which group members in a computing subarea, and 3) Interest Groups which are the smallest groups that can be formed with at least 10 members from 3 institutions. Special Commissions evolve from Interest Groups after 3 years and 50 members from 10 institutions. Interest Groups are linked to Special Commissions and require approval to be formed. This structure allows SBC members to connect through common computing interests.

Overview • The Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) maintains a structure of Thematic Groups (GT) that join SBC members with common interests • SBC provides three types of GTs organized in a hierarchical structure: • Major Areas (Grandes Áreas - GA) • Special Commissions (Comissões Especiais - CE) • Interest Groups (Grupos de Interesse - GIs) GA1 GA2 CE1 CE2 CE3 CE4 GI1 GI2 GI3 GI4 GI5 GI6 GI7 GI8 SBCDirectorBoard Presidency Administration … Events and special commissions 2
Major Areas (GA) • A Major Area (Grande Área - GA) • Represents a group of Special Commissions (Comissões Especiais – CE) with a thematic intersection • 5 Major Areas • GA1. Computing Systems • GA2. Software Systems • GA3. Computing Techniques and Technologies • GA4. Computing Applications • GA5. Data and Information Management 3
Special Commissions (CE) • Special Commissions (Comissões Especiais - CEs) • Join members with common interests in a Computing subarea • Each Special Commission organizes its own annual symposium and general meetings • A SBC member can join to any CE • A CE can be linked to one or more Major Area (GA) • Conditions to create a CE • Requirement from at least 50 SBC members from 10 different institutions • A steering committee and a coordinator • A CE is an evolution of a GI (3 years of maturation) 4
Interest Group (GI) • Conditions to create an Interest Group (Grupo de Interesse – GI) • Requirement from at least 10 SBC members from 3 different institutions • A GI can be linked to one or more Special Commission(s) • A GI needs the approval of the associated CE and of the SBC Council • A GI needs to organize an annual or biennial workshop in the event associated to the corresponding CE • A coordinator reports the GI activities to the corresponding CE 5
