Doctoral and PhD Workshop
4th ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems
(DEBS 10)
July 11-15, 2010 - Cambridge, United Kingdom
http://www.debs.org/2010
DEBS 2010 will host a one-day Doctoral/PhD Workshop to be held in
Cambridge, United Kingdom on July 11, 2010. The aim of the workshop is
to provide feedback to PhD students working on topics related to
event-based systems, complex event processing and publish/subscribe
systems. To attend, PhD students are invited to submit a short paper
describing their PhD work.
IMPORTANT DATES:
PhD workshop submission: May 24, 2010
Author notification: June 21,2010
GOALS AND SCOPE: The second DEBS PhD workshop is a forum for PhD
students working in the broad areas of event-based systems, complex
event processing and publish/subscribe systems. The goal of the
workshop is to support students in their PhD project by providing a
venue to present (preliminary) work, by stimulating feedback from
experienced researchers and by facilitating interactions among PhD
students.
We encourage students who are somewhere in the middle of their
research to submit to this workshop to get feedback on their overall
thesis work. They should be more or less clear about the problem that
they want to target and have take preliminary steps towards the
solution. In addition, we invite students who are at the beginning of
their PhD work and would like to receive feedback on their initial
research ideas, maybe before submitting a first workshop or conference
paper.
Paper presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, with 25 additional
minutes for discussion. This event will be a workshop in the true
meaning of the word, with a focus on discussion and interaction.
Additional social events for all participants will allow for further
interaction.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Papers should describe the problem addressed as
part of the PhD work, explain its importance, discuss shortcomings of
existing solutions and give some indication of steps towards a
solution. There should be enough substance to encourage discussion at
the workshop, but the work does not need to be complete. Please also
include a thesis outline and a summary of further planned work.
Submitted papers should have 3-6 pages for PhD students part-way
through their PhD and 1 page for beginning PhD students. All papers
should be formatted according to the same rules as regular DEBS
papers. Submissions must be single-author with the name of the
supervisor mentioned. Authors should submit their papers in PDF format
through the DEBS EasyChair conference management system
(https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=debs10>, clearly indicating
the type of paper. No copyrighted proceedings will be published (so
future publication of the work in conferences/journals is not
precluded), but accepted submissions will be made available
electronically to all participants.
Important: We will not accept submissions that are typical conference
paper submissions without explicit focus on the PhD work.
STRUCTURE: The Program Committee for this workshop consists mainly of
distinguished researchers who are prominent in the field of
event-based systems or who have obtained their own PhDs not too long
ago. Members of the Program Committee will attend the PhD workshop to
encourage and help, answer questions and give feedback. The PhD
workshop will provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere for PhD
students. There will be time to get to know other students and
researcher from a range of countries and backgrounds and to have fun
as well as to work.
