Call for Doctoral Symposium Papers
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The annual ACM/IFIP Middleware conference is a major forum for the
discussion
of innovations and recent scientific advances of middleware systems with a
focus on the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of
distributed
systems, platforms and architectures for computing, storage, and
communication.
Middleware 2019 will be held at UC Davis, California from 9 to 13
December 2019.
The conference will include a doctoral symposium, to which all PhD students
working on the topics of the Middleware conference are invited to apply. The
doctoral symposium will be held prior to the main conference.
The Middleware doctoral symposium is a welcoming and supportive environment
allowing all PhD students to receive feedback, discuss their work, and
prepare
to get the most out of their participation to the main conference.
All participating students will be offered the opportunity to engage
with their
peers, as well as with senior academic and industrial members of the
Middleware
community. This will include the feedback of panel members on the day of the
symposium and individual meetings with a personal mentor during the
conference.
The symposium is open to PhD students at any stage of their studies.
Applicants
will be divided into two groups:
- Planners: students at an early-stage of their thesis who are focused on
crafting their research proposal and completing background research.
- Finishers: students closer to finishing their thesis or dissertation and
thinking about how to present their research, its results, and its
impact.
All PhD students carrying out research on middleware topics are invited to
submit a position paper to the doctoral symposium. Papers will be
peer-reviewed
by the symposium's committee of selected mentors. The criteria for accepting
papers includes the extent of the contribution of the work to the field, the
originality of the problem, and the overall quality of the position paper.
Position papers should fit within the topics of the Middleware 2019 main
conference Call for Papers.
Position papers are limited to 2 pages (for students in the planner
category)
or 4 pages (for students in the Finishers category). Submissions must
use the
same format as for research papers (ACM SIGPLAN 9pt or 10pt). The suggested
content is detailed on the Middleware 2019 website:
http://2019.middleware-conference.org/doctoral.html
Contributions to the Middleware 2019 PhD Workshop will appear in a
proceedings
that supplements the main conference proceedings.
Accepted position paper will lead to a presentation during the doctoral
symposium, which may require the preparation of a poster for the
symposium and
for the main conference.
Doctoral students that submit their work to this symposium are strongly
encouraged to apply for student travel grants to attend Middleware 2019.
Students participating in the doctoral symposium will be given priority
for the
travel grants.

Call for Tutorials, Industry papers, Posters and Demos
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call for Tutorial Proposals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Middleware is an umbrella term for the diverse software that resides
between applications and underlying hardware and systems software. It
facilitates the development of applications by providing higher-level
abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, and
security. It is an important and rapidly evolving field with many open
problems and challenges. For more information and submission guidelines
see http://2019.middleware-conference.org/tutorial.html
Important Dates for Tutorials Track:
Tutorial Proposal Deadline June 15, 2019
Tutorial Proposal Acceptance Notification July 15, 2019
Call for Industry papers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Industrial Track of the Middleware 2019 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 general conference call for 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. For more
information and submission guidelines see
http://2019.middleware-conference.org/industry.html
Important Dates for Industry Track:
Paper Submission September 6, 2019
Author Notification September 30, 2019
Camera Ready October 18, 2019
Call for Demos and Posters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Middleware 2019 will provide a forum for live software demonstrations of
middleware applications, systems, and tools. Demos could take a wide and
open-ended variety of forms. Typical examples include: (i) presentation
of an application that leverages advanced middleware concepts, (ii)
working through coding of an example on a novel middleware platform, or
(iii) real-time visualizations of middleware system metrics under
simulated workloads. Although the form may vary, demo presenters should
take advantage of not being constrained by the format of a traditional
slide presentation. Demos are encouraged for both early prototypes and
mature technology. Posters will provide an opportunity for conference
attendees to learn about innovative work in progress and to preview
late-breaking research results. Poster sessions will provide an informal
setting for presenters to communicate ideas or results and also to
collect feedback from attendees.
Demo or poster contributions are solicited in all areas of middleware
research and applications. For a list of applicable topics, please
consider those from the call for papers. For more details and submission
guidelines see http://2019.middleware-conference.org/demo.html
