DEBS 2025

19th ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event-based Systems

June 10th–13th 2025

Gothenburg, Sweden

Venue Information

The 2025 DEBS Conference will be held in June at Chalmers University of Techonology, in Gothenburg, Sweden. This page is currently under construction.

DEBS 2025 will be a physical conference. In order to appear in the final proceedings, all accepted contributions from all tracks are expected to be presented in person during the conference. For special inquiries, please contact the general chairs.

Objective

The ACM International Conference on Distributed and Event‐Based Systems (DEBS) is a premier venue for academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge research of distributed and event-based computing and data processing. DEBS 2025 will be a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical insights, and the reporting of experiences relevant to distributed and event‐based systems.

We solicit high-quality submissions, with different submission options for authors depending on the nature of their contribution. All submissions will undergo an extensive peer review process.

Scope

The DEBS conference covers a broad range of topics in distributed and event-based computing for various application domains and computing environments. The 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, and 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, and 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.
  • Diversity and Inclusion

    The DEBS community joins an integrated effort to promote diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our professional activities. DEBS 2025 participates in this effort alongside EDBT/ICDT, MDM, SIGMOD, VLDB, SoCC, and ICDE, to celebrate the diversity in our community and welcome everyone regardless of age, sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, country of origin, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, education, work experience, etc. It also welcomes people and opinions of all political persuasions, as long as they abide by the ACM policy against hate speech and harassment.

    Chalmers University of Techonology

    Chalmers University of Technology (Swedish: Chalmers tekniska högskola, commonly referred to as Chalmers) is located in Gothenburg, Sweden, and focuses on engineering and science, but more broadly it also conducts research and offers education in shipping, architecture and management.

    Chalmers was founded in 1829. The university was run as a private institution until 1937 when it became the second state-owned technical university. In 1994 the government of Sweden reorganised Chalmers into a private company owned by a government-controlled foundation. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
