Scope

Event-based systems are rapidly gaining importance in many application

domains ranging from real time monitoring systems in production,

logistics and networking to complex event processing in finance

and security. The event based paradigm has gathered momentum as

witnessed by efforts in areas including publish/subscribe systems,

event-driven architectures, complex event processing, business

process management and modeling, Grid computing, Web services

notifications, information dissemination, event stream processing,

and message-oriented middleware. The various communities dealing

with event based systems have made progress in different aspects

of the problem. The DEBS conference attempts to bring together

researchers and practitioners active in the various sub communities

to share their views and reach a common understanding. The scope of

the conference covers all topics relevant to event-based computing

ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g., coordination,

software engineering, peer-to-peer systems, Grid computing, and streaming

databases), over domain-specific topics of event-based computing

(e.g., workflow management systems, mobile computing, pervasive/ubiquitous

computing, sensor networks, user interfaces, component integration,

Web services, and embedded systems), to enterprise related topics

(e.g., complex event detection, enterprise application integration,

real time enterprises, and Web services notifications).

The topics addressed by the conference include (but are not limited to):

Models, Architectures and Paradigms

* Event-driven architectures

* Basic interaction models

* Event algebras, event schemas and type systems

* Languages for event correlation and patterns, streaming and

continuous queries, data fusion

* Models for static and dynamic environments

* Complex event processing

* Design and programming methodologies

* Event-based business process management and modeling

* Experimental methodologies

* Performance modeling and prediction based on analytic approaches

Middleware for Event-Based Computing

* Federated event-based systems

* Middleware for actuator and sensor networks

* Algorithms and protocols

* Event dissemination based on p2p systems

* Context and location awareness

* Fault-tolerance, reliability, availability, and recovery

* Security issues

* (Self-)Management

* Mobility and resource constrained device support

* Streaming queries, transformations, or correlation engines

Applications, Experiences, and Requirements

* Use cases and applications of event-based systems

* Real-world application deployments using event-based middleware

* Domain-specific deployments of event-based systems

* Real-world data characterizing event-based applications

* Benchmarks, performance evaluations, and testbeds

* Application requirements for next-generation event-based solutions

* Relation to other architectures

* Enterprise application integration

* Event-driven business process management

* Information logistics

* Seamless integration of event-based mechanisms into middleware platforms

Author Instructions

Three types of paper submissions will be accepted: research papers,

industry papers, and demo papers. Submitted papers should clearly

indicate their type. Papers must not exceed the given number of

pages for the respective paper type:

Research Papers (max. 12 pages): a research paper describes new results

that advance the state-of-the-art in basic or applied research.

Industry Papers (max. 8 pages): an industry paper describes the design,

the experience (in building, deploying and running), or the performance

of an industry system. Commonly, the majority of authors on the paper

are from industry. Product marketing material will not be accepted as

papers.

Demo Papers (max. 4 pages): a demo paper reports on an existing research

prototype by clearly identifying the original contributions and ideas

demonstrated. The authors are expected to prepare a poster and perform

a live software demonstration on their own laptop during an

exhibit-style conference reception. Any special requirements should be

identified in the appendix of the paper.

Submitted papers should clearly indicate on the first page the submission

type. Industry submissions will be evaluated by an Industry Committee.

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM

International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM

Digital Library.

The conference adopts a double blind review process, where neither authors

nor reviewers know each others' identities.

Papers must not exceed the given number of pages for the respective paper

type. The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings

Style. The author kit containing templates for the required style can be

found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. The author(s)

name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and

self-references should be in the third person. This is to facilitate

a double-blind review process. Please apply the ACM Computing

Classification categories and terms, which can be found at

http://www.acm.org/class/1998/.
