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.
