CFP: ACM DEBS Grand Challenge @ DEBS 2017

Call for Papers: GRAND CHALLENGE – DEBS 2017
June 19 - 23, Barcelona Spain


The 2017 ACM DEBS Grand Challenge is the seventh in a series of  
challenges which seek to provide a common ground and uniform  
evaluation criteria for a competition aimed at both research and  
industrial event-based systems. The focus of the DEBS 2017 Grand  
Challenge is on the analysis of RDF streaming data generated by  
digital and analogue sensors embedded within manufacturing equipment.


This year’s Grand Challenge is co-organized by the HOBBIT project  
represented by AGT International within the 11th ACM International  
Conference on Distributed and Event-Based Systems (DEBS 2017). Both  
the data set and the automated evaluation platform are provided by the  
HOBBIT project.


Challenge Description


The 2017 DEBS Grand Challenge focuses on two scenarios that relate to  
the problem of automatic detection of anomalies for manufacturing  
equipment. The overall goal of both scenarios is to detect abnormal  
behavior of a manufacturing machine based on the observation of the  
stream of measurements provided by such a machine. Check more about  
our RDF steaming here  
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O8TXLcqDHAPMmxZ8siYHLBVc6sfqslkVQKywNNILcy4/edit?usp=sharing . The data produced by each sensor is clustered and the state transitions between the observed clusters are modeled as a Markov chain. Based on this classification, anomalies are detected as sequences of transitions that happen with a probability lower than a given threshold. The difference between the first and the second scenario is that in the first scenario the number of machines to observe is fixed, while in the second scenarios new machines dynamically join and leave the set of observable  
machines.


Prize


Participants in the 2017 DEBS Grand Challenge will have the chance to  
win two prizes. The first prize is the “Grand Challenge Award” for the  
best performing, correct submission. The second prize is the “Grand  
Challenge Audience Award” – it is determined based on the audience  
feedback provided after the presentation of the Grand Challenge  
solutions during the DEBS 2017 conference.
