ACM DEBS 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS
The ACM DEBS (Distributed Event Based System) is the flagship conference of the event-based systems community. DEBS 2011 will be held in Yorktown Heights, NY, USA in July 11-15, 2011.
The submission deadline of most tracks is March 7, 2011. For schedule and submission instructions refer to the DEBS conference site http://debs2011.fzi.de/
Conference Scope
The scope of the conference covers all topics relevant to event-based computing ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g. coordination, dependability, software engineering, peer-to-peer systems, Grid computing and streaming databases), to domain-specific topics of event-based computing (e.g. workflow management systems, mobile computing,
pervasive and ubiquitous computing, sensors 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).
DEBS 2011 Tracks
Five types of submissions will be accepted: research papers, industry papers, demos and posters including the DEBS grand challenge, the DEBS gong show, and PhD Workshop contributions. Further details about each submission type can be found on the call page specific for that type of contribution.
Research Track
All submissions must be original and unpublished. Submissions must be in the ACM format for conference proceedings. The research track of the conference adopts a double blind review process, where neither authors nor
reviewers know each others' identities. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library.
Industrial Track
There are two types of submissions: industrial track papers and industrial
experience reports.
Industry Track Papers
DEBS2011 is calling for high quality papers, to be published in the DEBS proceedings, of industry related articles of interest to, and to be presented to, the DEBS community.
Industrial track papers should cover some novel use or development of event sensing, distribution or processing (operation, agent or network), or some combination of these, with an industry theme.
Submitters should come from a commercial organization - either a software supplier or software end-user - although joint submissions between commercial and academic teams are also encouraged.
We encourage developers from commercial organizations to publish methods and results that they have found useful in their development and are willing to share with the wider audience of the DEBS community.
Industrial Experience Reports
DEBS2011 is calling for proposals of industrial experience reports. The submission will be in form of the proposed presentation abstract, and will
not require a full paper. Presentation proposals will be evaluated based on their interest to the DEBS community; Submitters should come from a commercial organization - either a Software Supplier or Software End-User - although joint submissions between commercial and academic teams are also encouraged. We encourage developers from commercial organizations to present methods and results that they have found useful in their development and are willing to share with the wider audience of the DEBS community whilst perhaps not desiring to create an academic paper on their subject.
Tutorials
Following the success of the tutorial days in the last two DEBS conferences, DEBS 2011 will host a one-day, multi-track tutorial program for which it solicits proposals for tutorials. The goal of the tutorial program of DEBS 2011 is to provide independent instruction on topics related to event-based computing, both fitting for the research audience and to an industrial audience. We solicit both long (3 hours) and short (1.5 hours) tutorials. A tutorial may cover a wide scope of topics ranging from practical techniques and guidelines over standards to theoretical work. Please note that no marketing or product specific tutorials will be accepted. Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. Topics of broad interest are preferred. Demos, Posters and the DEBS 2011 Challenge
Posters
Poster presentations offer researchers an opportunity to present significant work in progress or research that is best communicated in an interactive or graphical format. Further, poster presentations provide researchers with an opportunity to obtain direct feedback about their work
from a wide audience during the poster session. The authors are expected to prepare and present a poster during an exhibit-style conference reception. Poster submissions are welcomed in areas related to any aspect of event processing as identified in the call for contributions. Posters should focus on problems and methodology of the presented research. Accepted contributions will be published in electronic form.
Demos
Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing event-based systems and to obtain feedback from expert users. Demonstration submissions are welcomed in any of the areas identified in the call for papers. 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. Accepted contributions will be published in electronic form. Poster submissions and system demonstrations can overlap the work described in other kinds of submissions.
DEBS 2011 Challenge
The DEBS Challenge is the premier event for demonstrating practical progress towards achieving the vision of the Event Processing Fabric defined in the Event Processing Dagstuhl Seminar in 2010. The challenge will include a specification of an event processing application, and solicit implementations of this application, there will be two tracks: the
research prototypes track and the commercial products track. The focus on
the challenge will be on ease of development. The research prototypes track will also grant award for the best implementation. All implementers will be invited to present their work in the conference.
DEBS 2011 Gong Show
The gong show will consist of short presentations about visionary and/or outrageous ideas towards the next generation of event-based systems. Selection will be done by submitting a short abstract. The audience will vote for the best idea.
Doctoral and PhD Workshop
We welcome submissions from students who are enrolled in a PhD program and
are working on topics relevant to those covered by the DEBS 2011 conference. We encourage submissions from students who are at the late stages of their doctoral work, and who can therefore present a relatively "complete" story about their research. We also encourage submissions from students in the beginning stages of their program, and thus have a significant "future work" component. The former category will have the opportunity to present their research to a wider audience in preparation for a job search, whereas the latter can obtain valuable feedback about their upcoming research plans. Students in both stages of their careers will benefit from interacting with each other, as well as with members of the event processing research community represented at the conference.
