About DEBS

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.

Scope of DEBS 2015

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 specifically encourage submissions related to the increasingly important areas of environmental and marine monitoring, as well as smart cities. These themes are of particular relevance to the ICT in Norway and in the city of Oslo. New advances in distributed event-based systems pose a great potential for a major contribution to addressing societal challenges in these domains.

Structure

DEBS 2015 will be organized along six tracks:

  1. The 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. The 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. The 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. The Doctoral Symposium Track meant for doctoral candidates whose research area overlaps with event-based systems.
  6. The Grand Challenge Track: Here the committee will set out a grand challenge problem and then judge the most innovative approaches to its solution.

Please look at the Call for Contributions for further details about these tracks and the scope of DEBS.
