OOPSLA 2006 Workshop on Event Driven Architecture
Background:
Recently, analysts and vendors have been promoting Event Driven architecture as the “Next Big Thing”. Simple event-driven processing has been in common use for at least 10 years with technology such as message-oriented middleware and, in the past few years, message-driven Enterprise JavaBeans. However, the “Next Big Thing” they are referring to is the architecture that supports processing complex business events to address business real time needs. Recognizing the importance of this topic, a one day workshop will be held in conjunction with OOPSLA 06 to address issues related to EDA. The workshop will be held on Sunday October 22, 2006 at Oregon Conference Center.
Workshop Goals and Objectives:
The workshop will provide a forum in which researchers and practitioners from academia and industry can discuss the various aspects of event-driven processing and its relationship to other architecture and programming paradigms, particularly its relationship with Service Oriented Architecture.
Workshop Topics:
Topics relevant to the workshop theme include (but not limited to):
- Definition and classification of events
- Event modeling
- Tooling for Event Processing
- Methods for developing Event Driven Systems and Applications
- Event processing languages and tools
- Event-driven business process management
- Event processing for Business Activity Management
- Relationship with service-oriented architecture and other architecture
- Information delivery services and implementation of “publish/subscribe” protocols
- Event pattern detection
- Implementation issues
- Potential inhibitors to the adoption of EDA
- Security and privacy issues in event-based systems and applications.
Expected Outcome:
The primary expected outcomes of this workshop are:
- Cross-fertilization between researchers and practitioners in all aspects of event processing
- A report on the discussions of the workshop which, based on the quality of the outcome, can be published as a technical paper
Participation Requirements:
To participate in the workshop, potential candidates must submit a position paper or an extended abstract that describes their work, thoughts, or ideas on any of the topics related to the workshop theme. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Interested candidates should send their submission electronically to both workshop organizers:
Mamdouh Ibrahim mibrahim@us.ibm.com
Opher Etzion Opher@il.ibm.com
Deadline for submission is September 15, 2006.
Please note that all workshop participants must register for the conference but there is no additional charge for attending the workshop.
Workshop Format:
In order to gain the most from the workshop, discussion (and not presentations) will be the main format for the workshop. The workshop organizers will invite few of the participants to give brief presentations highlighting some of the issues and to provide seeds for the discussions. Based on the received submissions, the organizers may elect to divide the participants into groups to focus on a specific topic and then report on the outcome of to the rest of the workshop attendees at the end of the workshop.
