[apologies for cross-postings] ----------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: 10 May 2008 Handbook of Research on Advanced Distributed Event-Based Systems, Publish/Subscribe and Message Filtering Technologies A book edited by Annika Hinze and Alejandro Buchmann ----------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction The event-based paradigm is a burgeoning technology that receives attention in research as well as in industry. Event-based interaction is the key paradigm used in monitoring and (re)active applications, also called push-based or publish/subscribe systems. The information is actively delivered to the user once it is available without the user having to repeatedly ask for it. A wide variety of applications benefit from the event-based paradigm that is found in fields ranging from sensor networks and stream processing to business monitoring, logistics, health care, and ubiquitous computing. Objective of the Book This book aims to showcase event-based systems in real-world applications; it provides a multi-disciplinary approach, an overview of relevant terminology, and content that is approachable for readers from a variety of backgrounds. We explicitly call for chapters that present and explore event-based techniques in an application context. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be professionals, researchers and students - consumers and designers of event-based systems. The book is designed to be an explorer, interpreter and multi-disciplinary mediator. It aims to present concepts and application examples from the various communities and areas developing and applying techniques of the event-based paradigm. The book targets areas with domain-specific topics of event-based computing. It additionally aims to present areas with enterprise-related topics. Event-based applications and techniques are being developed in different domains and by communities with diverse concepts and foundations. The book’s collection of concepts and applications will present the richness of existing event-based concepts and applications from a wide basis of contributors. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Distributed systems - Pervasive and ubiquitous computing - Coordination - Software engineering - Peer-to-peer systems - Grid computing - Stream processing - Workflow management systems - Mobile computing - Pervasive and ubiquitous computing - Sensor networks - Event-based user interfaces - Component integration - Web services - Embedded systems - Information retrieval - Event-based application areas such as o environmental monitoring o health care o digital libraries o context-aware systems o geographic information systems o airlines Operations Monitoring - Enterprise related topics, such as o enterprise application integration o real time enterprises, and o Web services notifications Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before May 10th a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the scope of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by June 10th about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by September 1st (firm deadline). All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. The book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), www.igi-global.com, publisher of the Information Science Reference (formerly Idea Group Reference), and Medical Information Science Reference imprints. Inquiries and submissions can be forwarded electronically (PDF document) or by mail to: Dr. Annika Hinze Department of Computer Science University of Waikato Tel.: +64 7 848 4052 E-mail: hinze@cs.waikato.ac.nz
