[AISWorld] ACM DEBS 2011: Deadline extended

[Avigdor Gal]

Please note that submission deadline for research and industrial papers has
been extended. Abstracts are due by March 7 and full papers by March 14.

       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 14, 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All submissions must be original and unpublished.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.

And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it's true
That who is what and what is who.
