18th ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference

Las Vegas, Nevada

Dec 11-15, 2017

http://2017.middleware-conference.org/

 

The annual ACM/IFIP/USENIX Middleware conference is a major forum for the discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and use of middleware systems. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 18th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research, technology and experimentation in 2017. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality single-track technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops.

 

 

CALL FOR RESEARCH TRACK PAPERS

 

http://2017.middleware-conference.org/call-for-regular-papers.html

 

The scope of the Middleware conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms and architectures for computing, storage, and communication environments. Detailed information on topics is available from the URLs above. Submitted research papers must have at most 12 pages of technical content, including text, figures, and appendices, but excluding any number of additional pages for bibliographic references. Note that submissions must be double-blind: authors' names must not appear, and authors must make a good faith attempt to anonymize their submissions.

 

Important Dates:

Abstract submission - May 12, 2017

Paper submission - May 19, 2017

Notification of acceptance - Aug 23, 2017

Camera-ready paper due - Sept 15, 2017

 

CALL FOR INDUSTRY TRACK PAPERS

The Industrial Track of the Middleware 2017 Conference solicits 6-page papers for presentation during the main conference (single track) and inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. The topics of interest are similar to those in the call for research papers. However, the purpose of the Industrial Track is to emphasize the practical issues, observations, and measurements of "real-world" systems and applications and to disseminate information of particular interest to Middleware researchers, architects, developers and administrators.

 

Important Dates:

Abstract submission - August 11, 2017

Paper submission - August 18, 2017

Notification of acceptance - September 30, 2017

Camera-ready paper due - October 27, 2017
