Call for Papers
International Workshop on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS'02)
http://www.gkec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/rebeca/debs/
July 2nd and 3rd, 2002 Vienna, Austria
In Conjunction with: The 22nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2002 )
SCOPE
Research on event notification services, event-based and publish / subcribe systems has recently gained increased attention. It has been recognized that loosely coupled asynchronous communication mechanisms are necessary to build complex distributed systems. While comparable mechanisms are already used in existing products such as ERP, application servers and databases, event services have been incorporated into major middleware platforms, including CORBA, J2EE, and COM+.
Although these services provide some basic functionality, there are still many open problems, ranging from design and integration to scalability issues. Technical solutions that increase scalability, such as event filtering and composition mechanisms, must be backed with engineering solutions providing models of coordination, programming abstractions, usage patterns, and administrative support. Furthermore, robust enterprise solutions will be integrated with legacy systems in heterogeneous environments, raising data management and security issues. Future application scenarios, such as web-based services and support for mobility, will stress all of these topics.
Research on event-based systems is dispersed among different areas of computer science (software engineering, programming languages, distributed systems, data management, networking, etc.), and event-based concepts are applied in commercial software. This workshop aims at bringing together people from these disciplines in order to present the state of the art, current research and to develop a joint vision on future design, engineering and applications of distributed event-based systems.
DEBS'02 aims to gather participants from academia and industry that work in areas related to event-based systems. This workshop will provide a forum to meet and discuss technical issues of distributed event-based systems, their integration with existing services, and the problems related to engineering event-based systems.
Suggested topics for research and position papers include, but are not limited to:
* Taxonomies to characterize event-based systems * Event models (e.g. representations, subscription languages) * Functionality and APIs of event services and publish / subscribe systems * Design, architecture, and engineering of event-based applications * Programming language support and integration (e.g. typing, abstractions) * Algorithms for distributed event processing (e.g. filtering, routing, composition, ordering) * Push-based event dissemination mechanisms * Event notification protocols and delivery mechanisms * Efficient use of ip-multicast and publish/subscribe communication techniques * Real-time distributed event systems * Performance evaluation and scalability analysis * Integration with standard middleware (e.g. CORBA, J2EE, COM+) * Integration with databases and storage systems (e.g. active database, transactions processing systems, querying event logs) * Fault-tolerant event distribution * Security * Quality of service and its specification * Support of mobile devices (e.g. temporarily connected, limited memory/communication bandwidth) * Case studies of challenging applications and requirement analysis
IMPORTANT DATES
Papers due: December 12, 2001 Notification of acceptance: February 25, 2002 Final papers due: March 24, 2002 Conference date: July 2nd and 3rd, 2002
LOCATION
Vienna, Austria.
AUTHOR INFORMATION
Submitted papers should describe original, unpublished research or experience and be no longer than 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style.
All papers must be written in English and will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop in order to present the work. Moreover, workshop participants must register for the main conference, i.e., ICDCS-2002.
The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to guarantee a fair double blind review process. A cover page including paper title, author(s) name(s), address(es), five keywords, and a paper abstract should also be sent in a separate document. Submissions should adhere to IEEE style and be made electronically in PDF or postscript (no hardcopy) and sent to debs-submission@gkec.tu-darmstadt.de by email.
The program of the workshop will consist of a set of paper presentations and discussions.
