DEBS

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Tenth ACM conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems - DEBS'16 held at the Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences & Engineering in Irvine, California, US. DEBS is the flagship conference for the dissemination of original research, demonstration of prototypes, the discussion of new practical insights, and the reporting of relevant experience relating to event-based computing. Event-based systems have gained traction in many application domains, ranging from real-time data processing in web environments, logistics and networking, to complex event processing in finance and security. The event-based paradigm strengthened by continuous stream data processing has gathered momentum as witnessed by current efforts in areas such as event-driven architectures, big data systems, the Internet of things, complex event processing, publish/- subscribe systems, business process management, cloud computing, web services, information dissemination, and message-oriented middleware. The DEBS conference brings researchers, students, and practitioners from these various communities together in an international setting to exchange ideas and knowledge about current research work and open challenges. The conference also provides a forum for facilitating the exchange of ideas between academics, vendors, and application developers.
