DEBS2012

The objectives of the 6th ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS) are to provide a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting of relevant experience relating to event-based computing that was previously scattered across several scientific and professional communities. The conference also aims at providing a forum for academia and industry to exchange ideas, for example, through industry papers and demo papers.

DEBS 2012 Tracks

The conference will consist of the following tracks:

- Research track featuring high quality research paper on relevant topics.

- Industry track with two sub-tracks: industry full papers and industry experience reports.

- Tutorials geared towards either the research or the industrial communities.

- Demos and posters.

- The DEBS 2012 Grand Challenge is a problem solving competition for commercial and research event-based systems.

- Gong show: The gong show will consist of short presentations about visionary and outrageous ideas towards the next generation of event-based systems. The audience will vote for the best idea.

- Doctoral workshop
