Welcome!

The Inaugural International Conference on Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBS) is following on the success of the previous five editions of the DEBS workshops held from 2002 to 2006 in companion with major conferences such as ICDCS, ICSE, and SIGMOD/PODS. The conference is organized in cooperation with USENIX, the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society, and ACM (SIGMOD and SIGSOFT).

The objectives of the DEBS Conference are to provide a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting on 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.

Please use the DEBS'07 Collaborate Wiki to participate in the discussion around issues in event-based systems (registration is needed to prevent spammers from misusing the wiki):

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the ACM International Proceedings Series and will be disseminated through the ACM Digital Library. In order to achieve broad attendance, the DEBS organizers will strive to keep conference registration rates affordable. In particular, student participation will be strongly encouraged through special rates.

The DEBS organizers are seeking the support from commercial sources for the event. If you are interested in becoming a DEBS sponsor, please look at our sponsorship kit.

The venue will be the Bahen Center for Information Technology, University of Toronto, 40 St. George Street (map), Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G4.
