[rules-dev] ACM DEBS 2012 - First Call for Papers

===================================================================== DEBS2012 6th ACM International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems July 16-20, 2012 Freie Universitaet Berlin, Berlin, Germany http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/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 Important Dates ======================= - Abstract submission for research and Industry papers and Industry experience reports: February 27, 2012 - Grand Challenge participation intent (non-binding): February 27, 2012 - Research, Industry and Tutorial papers submission, and (optional) Industry experience report submission: March 5, 2012 - Grand Challenge problem description: March 7, 2012 - Author notification for tutorials, research and Industry papers, and Industry experience reports: April 30, 2012 - Poster and demo submission: May 2, 2012 - Grand Challenge Solutions including 4 page papers: May 2, 2012 - Doctoral Workshop submission: May 2, 2012 - Grand Challenge abstracts: May 2, 2012 - Author notification for poster, demo, Challenge, PhD papers: May 16, 2012 - Conference: July 16-20, 2012 Paper Submission ======================= Submissions will be accepted in the following tracks: Research track; Industry track; Tutorials Track; Demos& Posters; Grand Challenge; Doctoral Workshop.
