Special Issue on Event Recognition
ACM Transactions on Internet Technology

The concept of event processing is established as a generic
computational paradigm in various application fields, ranging from
data processing in web environments, over logistics and networking, to
finance and medicine. Events report on state changes of a system and
its environment. Event recognition (event pattern matching), in turn,
refers to the detection of the events that are considered relevant for
processing, thereby providing the opportunity to implement reactive
measures. Consider, for example, the recognition of emerging stories
and trends on the Social Web, the recognition of fraud in electronic
marketplaces, and the recognition of non-compliant behaviour in
norm-governed multi-agent systems. In each scenario, event recognition
is of utmost importance to make sense of large data streams and react
accordingly.

We invite quality submissions focusing on various aspects of event
recognition. We welcome both theoretical contributions as well as
papers describing interesting applications. Broad topics include:

-Event recognition under uncertainty
-Event recognition and forecasting
-Optimisation techniques for event recognition
-Multi-scale temporal aggregation of events
-Machine learning for event recognition
-Verification of event recognition models
-Event-based business process management and modelling
-Real-world applications of event recognition systems
-Middleware for event recognition
-Scalability and high throughput issues
-Event recognition in (norm-governed) multi-agent systems
