CALL FOR PAPERS

9th ACM International Conference on Distributed 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
Notification of Acceptance for Research and Industry tracks: April 20th, 2015
Tutorial Proposals: March 7th, 2015
Grand Challenge Solutions: March 30th, 2015 
Doctoral Symposium / Poster and Demo Track: April 30th, 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 six tracks:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The Tutorial Track where recognized experts in the field will present their
tutorials on relevant emerging areas of research.

4. 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.

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

6. 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
recent†changes in the ACM policy. The options will include new opportunities
for open†access as well as the traditional ACM copyright agreement.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: A new policy by ACM will allow DEBS 2015 to make the
proceedings available ahead of the conference via the ACM Digital Library.
Thus, the official publication date is the date the proceedings appear in the
ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day
of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any
patent filings related to published work.
