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

The scope of the ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems 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 and ubiquitous computing, sensors networks, user interfaces, big data processing, spatio-temporal processing, Cloud computing, the internet of things, peer-to-peer computing and embedded systems), 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.

Call for Industry Papers and Industry Experience Reports
DEBS 2013 is calling for high quality industry papers of interest to the DEBS community. All industry papers are to be presented to the DEBS community and published in the DEBS proceedings. 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.
There are two types of industry submissions: industry track papers and industry experience reports.
Industry Track Papers
Industry track papers should cover some novel use or development of event-based applications or systems, with an industry theme. 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.
Industry Experience Reports
An industry experience report is in the form of an extended abstract, and does not require a full paper. Experience reports will be evaluated based on interest to the DEBS community. Industry experience reports should cover some valuable, new or alternative view of event sensing, distribution or processing (operation, agent or network), or some combination of these, in an end-user application area. Experiences can be specific to a single project, system type, or industry domain, but should not be targeted to a specific audience from those groups.
