Objective
=========
The ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems (DEBS) 
is the premier venue for academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research
in distributed and event-based computing and data processing. 
DEBS 2025 will provide a forum for original research, practical insights, and 
experiences in distributed and event-based systems, with a focus on emerging 
trends and new challenges in the field.

Scope
=====
The DEBS conference aims to present novel solutions for collecting, detecting, 
processing, analyzing, and responding to events through distributed middleware,
systems, and platforms. 
DEBS 2025 welcomes submissions focusing on: 
1) Models, Architectures, Programming, and Query Support, 
2) Systems and Software, 
3) Applications and Use-Cases 
on the following topics:

- Scalable data stream processing and complex event processing.
- Dataflow execution and distributed state management.
- Time series event-based database management.
- Approximate event-based query processing.
- Incremental computing, data structures, and materialized view maintenance for
  relational, graph, and stream data.
- Security, encryption, forecasting, and in-network processing for data streams.
- Event-based systems for ML: optimizing end-to-end AI/ML pipelines using 
  event-based systems, i.e., feature engineering, distributed training, serving.
- ML for event-based systems: improving performance using AI/ML methods.
- Cloud, fog, and edge computing, including serverless and FaaS.
- Hardware acceleration and programmable hardware for event-based systems. 
- Software-defined networking and disaggregated memory architectures for 
  event-based systems.
- Sustainability, security, reliability, and resilience in event-based systems.
- Distributed ledger and blockchain for event-based processing.
- Applications and use-cases regarding Internet-of-Things (IoT), smart cities, 
  virtual and extended/augmented reality, cyber-physical systems, and sensor 
  networks.
- Applications and use-cases regarding enterprise, finance, healthcare, life 
  sciences, logistics, multimedia analytics, computer/network security, and 
  social networking.

Submission Categories
=====================
The DEBS 2025 Research Track welcomes papers in the following categories:
* Regular papers: this category is open to research papers of both theoretical 
and experimental nature with novel and original research contributions. Regular 
papers must be no longer than 12 pages, including references.
* Short papers: this category offers the opportunity to present and discuss new
ideas and/or visions on emerging research challenges. Preliminary results from 
original research may also be presented, where some aspects of the work remain 
open, possibly with initial or limited evaluation. Short papers must be no 
longer than 6 pages, including references.

Submission Guidelines
=====================
Submissions should be formatted in the ACM proceedings style and submitted as 
PDF file via Microsoft CMT. 
A submitted paper cannot be under review for any other conference or journal 
during the time it is considered for DEBS 2025, and it must be substantially 
different from any previously published work.
The Research Track adopts a double-blind review process for both categories of 
papers, where neither authors nor reviewers know each other's identities. 

Authors of selected, top-rated papers from DEBS 2025 will be invited to submit 
an extended version of their paper to a special journal issue. 
More information about this will be shared in the coming weeks.

The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.
