Rennes, France; D ec 10 - 14, 2018
Key Dates

Call for Papers
The Industrial Track of the Middleware 2018 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.
Topics - the topics of the industry track include, but are not limited to:
* Experience reports and measurements relating to
* Deployments of Internet-scale environments, including grids, datacenters, and other large-scale systems
* Cloud computing middleware, for Infrastructure/Platform/Application as a Service Quality of service, quality of user experience
* Scalability issues (e.g., observed real-life workloads and applications)
* Reliability and availability issues (observed real-life faults, fault models, and recovery mechanisms)
* Security issues (e.g., real attacks on deployed platforms and their impacts)
* Middleware in big data and machine learning systems and applications
* Deployments of embedded systems, sensor networks and Internet of Things
* Deployments of blockchain-based middleware and applications
* Approaches, mechanisms and tools for
* Real-life deployment, e.g., hardware equipment management (installation, updates, replacement), management of data center buildings, network points of presence, “data center in-a- box”
* DevOps, continuous software development, integration, and delivery
* Operation and maintenance, e.g., install and upgrade, bug fixes, and backup
* Runtime management, e.g., monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and remediation
* Economic, energy-aware, and environmental analyses (e.g. cost and/or energy impacts of various data center deployment models)
* Security management, e.g., intrusion detection, and key management
Submission Guidelines
A submission must be a single PDF file conforming to the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format and must not exceed 6 pages (including abstract, figures, tables, and appendices, but excluding references). Submissions must be in English. Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines or that violate formatting will be declined without review. Reviewing is single-blind; papers must include author names and affiliations. Authors are required to add “(industry track)” at the end of their paper title.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Industrial Track Program Committee. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, importance of contribution, technical soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. The committee as a whole will make final decisions about which submissions to accept for presentation at the conference.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. The conference organizers, like those of other scientific conferences and journals, prohibit these practices and may take actions against authors who have committed them. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. If you are uncertain whether your submission meets the guidelines, please contact the program co-chairs.
By submitting a paper, you agree that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present the paper in person.

Call for Demos and Posters
Middleware 2018 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.
Deadline for submission: September 07, 2018
