DEBS 2008 2nd International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems 2007 (July 2-4, 2008, in Roma, Italy)

Submission Guidelines

All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three independent referees. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the conference.

Three types of paper submissions will be accepted:

  • research papers (max. 12 pages): a research paper describes new results that advance the state-of-the-art in basic or applied research.
  • industry papers (max. 8 pages): an industry paper describes the design, the experience (in building, deploying and running), or the performance of an industry system. Commonly, the majority of authors on the paper are from industry. Product marketing material will not be accepted as papers.
  • demo papers (max. 4 pages): a demo paper reports on an existing research prototype by clearly identifying the original contributions and ideas demonstrated. The authors are expected to prepare a poster and perform a live software demonstration on their own laptop during an exhibit-style conference reception. Any special requirements should be identified in the appendix of the paper.

Submitted papers should clearly indicate on the first page the submission type. Industry submissions will be evaluated by an Industry Committee.

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library.

The conference adopts a double blind review process, where neither authors nor reviewers know each others' identities. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-references should be in the third person. This is to facilitate a double-blind review process.

Papers must not exceed the given number of pages for the respective paper type. The required format for the submission is the ACM SIG Proceedings Style. The author kit containing templates for the required style can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Please apply the ACM Computing Classification categories and terms, which can be found at http://www.acm.org/class/1998/.
