Subject: CFP - ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems, ACM DEBS 2015

CALL FOR PAPERS

9th ACM International Conference on Event-Based Systems, ACM DEBS 2015

Oslo, Norway, June 29 - July 3, 2015

http://www.debs2015.org

The objectives of the ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS) are to provide a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting of experiences relevant to event-based computing that were previously scattered across several scientific and professional communities. The conference also aims at providing a forum for academia and industry to exchange ideas, for example, through industry papers and demo papers.

Important Dates:

Research Track, Abstract Submission: February 15th, 2015 (required)

Research Track, Full Paper Submission: February 20th, 2015

Industry Track: February 20th, 2015

Tutorial Proposals: March 7th, 2015

Grand Challenge Solutions: March 30th, 2015 

Notification of Acceptance: April 20th, 2015

Scope:

The scope of DEBS conference covers all topics relevant to event-based computing ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g., software systems, distributed systems, data management, dependability, knowledge management, networking, programming languages, security and software engineering), to domain-specific topics of event-based computing (e.g., real-time analytics, mobile computing, social networking, pervasive, green computing and ubiquitous computing, sensors networks, user interfaces, big data processing, spatio-temporal processing, cloud computing, the Internet of things, peer-to-peer computing, embedded systems and stream processing), to enterprise-related topics (e.g., complex event detection, enterprise application integration, real-time enterprises and web services). Topics addressed by the conference papers may include (but are not limited to) models, architectures and paradigms of event-based systems, middleware systems and frameworks, and applications, experiences and requirements.

In addition to these traditional topics, the scope of DEBS 2015 will include the increasingly important area of environmental and marine monitoring. New advances in distributed event-based systems pose a great potential for a major contribution to addressing societal challenges in this area. For further information, please look at the call for contributions in the track you are interested in. 

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

1.    Models, Architectures and Paradigms: Event-driven architectures, event processing in big data, complex event processing, event correlation and pattern languages.

2.    Middleware infrastructures for Event-Based Computing: Federated event-based systems, event dissemination on P2P systems, fault tolerance, reliability and availability.

3.    Applications, Experience and Requirements: Use cases and applications of event-based systems and real world characterization of event-based systems.

Structure:

DEBS 2015 will be organized along five tracks:

• Research Track that presents original research contributions. Submissions will be evaluated by an experienced program committee consisting of eminent researchers from all over the world.

• Industry and Experience Reports Track meant to report on innovative deployments of event-based systems. Contributions will be reviewed by researchers and industry practitioners working in event-based computing.

• Poster and Demo Track where authors can report on work in progress and/or arrange to demonstrate interesting ideas and applications pertaining to event-based systems.

• Doctoral Symposium Track meant for doctoral candidates whose research area overlaps with event-based systems.

• Grand Challenge Track: Here the committee will set out a grand challenge problem and then judge the most innovative approaches for its solution.

Proceedings:

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The authors of accepted papers will be given a choice between different copyright agreements, in accordance with the emerging changes in the ACM policy. The options will include new opportunities for open access as well as the traditional ACM copyright agreement.
