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.
