The processing of continuous data sources has become an important paradigm of modern data processing and management, covering many applications and domains such as monitoring and controlling networks or complex production system as well complex event processing in medicine, finance or compliance.

The goal of the workshop is to attract both academic and industrial contributions to foster the exchange of ideas and a discussion about the state of the art and future directions. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop:

Data streams
Event processing
Case Studies and Real-Life Usage
Foundations
Semantics of Stream Models and Languages
Maintenance and Life Cycle
Metadata
Optimization
Applications and Models
Statistical and Probabilistic Approaches
Quality of Service
Stream Mining
Provenance
Platforms for event and stream processing, in particular
CEP Engines
DSMS
"Conventional" DBMS
Main memory databases
Sensor Networks
Scalability
Hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, ...)
Cloud Computing
