Scope and Aim of Workshop

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
  • 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

Submissions

  • Papers have to be submitted to the EasyChair submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hidest15
  • Submission deadline for long papers is June 26,  2015 (closed)
  • Submission deadline for extended abstracts is July 12,  2015
  • Long papers are expected to have 10-12 pages (excluding references)
  • Extended abstracts (containing system (demo) descriptions or overviews on recent results in your research group) are expected to have 2-5 pages (excluding references)
  • The papers have to be formatted in the LNCS style and written in Latex (preferred) or Word. (See here for a Word and Latex template)
