DEBS'04: 3rd International Workshop on Distributed Event-Based Systems

                               DEBS'04
   Third International Workshop on Distributed Event-Based Systems

                         in conjunction with
        26th International Conference on Software Engineering
                              ICSE 2004

             http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~carzanig/debs04/

The purpose of DEBS'04 is to bring together people from academia and
industry interested in the foundations and development of event-based
applications, event-based communication infrastructures, and event
correlation techniques.

We believe that a number of issues remain open in the engineering of
event-based applications, event-based infrastructures, event
correlation techniques, and, notably, in the integration of these
areas.  Examples of open questions are: How to specify an event-based
application?  How to verify that such an application satisfies its
specification?  How to test an event-based application?  What are the
best practices in developing event-based applications?  What
requirements are put on middleware by methodologies for constructing
event-based applications?  What value-added services are needed, and
which one can be built on top of a basic publish/subscribe
infrastructure?  What correlation techniques are most appropriate for
which classes of applications?  How to scale up event correlation in
the presence of intense event traffic and dynamic dependencies among
components?  What levels of service are needed for event-based
applications?  Modeling an event-based infrastructure as a
communication network, what are the best routing protocols and
forwarding algorithms?  Which network architectures and protocols can
provide the necessary quality of service?  How to provide reliable
event notification over an unreliable network?  How to test a
distributed event-based infrastructure for correctness and/or for
performance?  How to compare two implementations?  Is a distributed
event-based infrastructure really necessary?  What is a "killer
application"?

The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss original and
innovative ideas in the area of event-based systems.  Therefore, we
invite authors interested in event-based applications, event-based
infrastructures, and event correlation to submit a paper to this
workshop.  Papers do not have to be based on complete and
comprehensive works.  In fact, we prefer and welcome position papers
as well as papers based on preliminary results, provided that they be
forward-looking and that they remain well-argued and justified in
terms of existing work.  Authors of accepted papers are expected to
participate in the workshop.  Submission instructions are available on
the workshop page http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~carzanig/debs04/.
