AIMS AND TOPICS

 

  Stream processing as an information processing paradigm 

  appears in various applications and has been investigated 

  by various research communities within computer science. 

  Next to algorithmic oriented research on low-level stream 

  processing (e.g., for sensor networks), stream-related 

  research of recent years resulted also in declarative 

  stream processing frameworks, which are in the focus of 

  this workshop. Declarative stream processing frameworks 

  such as data stream management systems or systems for 

  complex event processing (CEP) provide amongst other 

  things stream query languages with a clear-cut semantics. 

  The progress of technologies and computer science as a 

  whole has brought up new challenges for stream processing 

  that call for the modeling of knowledge and the construction

  of query engines which account for the knowledge. In 

  ontology-based streams access (OBSA) as needed, e.g., in 

  Semantic Web, queries are answered over data streams that 

  contain declarative assertions with symbols from an 

  ontology. Query answering now has to incorporate reasoning

  over the ontology in order to guarantee completeness of the

  set of answers. Also context-aware reasoning for streams or

  CEP have to incorporate some form of reasoning in order to

  deal with the consequences that the context/entity models 

  have for the set of query answers. The aim of this workshop

  is to foster research on high-level declarative stream 

  processing in research areas such as OBSA, CEP, and 

  context-aware stream processing, paying attention to the 

  common ideas, concepts, methods.

  Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

  * Query processing on streams 

  * Stream reasoning

  * Ontology based data access on streams or temporal data 

  * Context aware processing on streams  

  * Complex event processing

  * Event recognition on streams 

  * RDF/Linked Data stream processing  

  * Data stream management systems

  * Pervasive computing 

  * Benchmarking for querying/reasoning on streams  

  * Real-time processing for diagnostics, prediction, 

    monitoring
