ACM/IFIP Middleware 2019 Conference - Call for Industry Track, Tutorial, 
Posters, Demos and Workshops
http://2019.middleware-conference.org
where and when
UC Davis, CA; Dec 9 - 13, 2019


Confirmed keynote speakers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian Cooper - Google
Monica Lam - Stanford University
Ion Stoica - Berkeley


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

Demos and Posters Deadlines:
Paper Submission	September 6, 2019
Author Notification	September 30, 2019

Call for Workshops
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Middleware conference traditionally includes a number of 
high-quality workshops. We invite experts on related research subjects 
to submit one-day or half-day workshop proposals in scope of Middleware 
2019. Proposed workshops can be on any topic related to middleware, but 
we are particularly interested in new workshops in emerging middleware 
areas. For more details and submission guidelines see 
http://2019.middleware-conference.org/workshop.html

Important Dates for Workshop proposals:
Proposal Submission	May 24, 2019
Proposal Acceptance Notification	May 31, 2019
Website and CFP Online	June 14, 2019
Paper Submission	August 30, 2019
Paper Notification	September 27, 2019
Paper Camera Ready	October 18, 2019

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
