DEBS 2013: 7th ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems
http://www.orgs.ttu.edu/debs2013/ Arlington, Texas, USA, June 29 - July 3, 2013 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. The DEBS 2013 Doctoral Workshop welcomes submissions from students who are enrolled in a PhD program and are working on topics relevant to those covered by the DEBS 2013 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. 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 doctoral workshop to encourage and help, answer questions and give feedback. The doctoral workshop will provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere for PhD students. There will be time to get to know other students and researchers from a range of countries and backgrounds and to have fun as well as to work. Submission Information All paper submissions must be original and unpublished. Submissions must be in the ACM format for conference proceedings. Only PDF documents will be accepted. Authors are encouraged to make use of the ACM SIGS Proceedings templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Submissions to all tracks of DEBS 2013 are made through the DEBS 2013 submission site on EasyChair https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=debs2013 by 11:59 PM (GMT) on the due date. Questions about submissions can be sent to the DEBS 2013 program chairs at [email protected]. Doctoral Workshop 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 for the doctoral workshop are limited to 4 pages. Submissions must be single-author with the name of the supervisor mentioned. No copyrighted proceedings will be published so that future publication of the work in conferences/journals is not precluded. Accepted submissions will be made available electronically to all participants at http://debs.org. Important: We will not accept submissions that are typical conference paper submissions without explicit focus on the PhD work.
