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


Important Dates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paper Submission	September 15, 2019 (Extended)
Author Notification	September 30, 2019
Camera Ready	October 15, 2019
Submit your posters and demos through HotCRP 
https://middleware19demos-posters.hotcrp.com.


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.



If you encounter any problems, please notify the Demo and Poster chairs:

Jelle Hellings, jhellings at ucdavis.edu
Amy L. Murphy, murphy at fbk.eu
The authors of accepted demos and posters must prepare a single slide 
that provides an overview of their work which will be presented during 
the "1-minute madness" session that precedes the demo and poster session.

Accepted papers will be included in the Middleware 2019 conference 
proceedings that will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The 
official publication date will be the date the proceedings are made 
available in the ACM Digital Library which may be up to two weeks prior 
to the first day of the Middleware conference. Note that the official 
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to 
published work.

Demo Submissions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Submissions describing live demos should be at most 3 pages PDF using 
the ACM proceedings format, "sigplan" style. The first two pages will 
include a description of the demo that will be included in the 
Middleware proceedings. The last page will outline aspects of the demo 
that will be considered during evaluation, but will not appear in the 
proceedings.

Pages 1 and 2 should include the following:

Title of the demo (including beginning with "Demo Abstract:"),
Authors, affiliation, and contact information,
Description of the problems addressed,
Research and technical approach,
Related work with bibliography.
Page 3 should contain any additional information that will be used only 
to evaluate your demonstration proposal: it will not be part of the 
proceedings. For example, you may detail what you will show during the 
demo, provide links to additional online material related to your demo, 
e.g., videos, etc. You may also use this space to outline any special 
requirements you have for the demonstration, e.g., unusual space needs, 
exclusive access to a wireless channel, etc. The format of this page is 
at your discretion.

Poster Submissions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Submissions describing posters should be at most 2 pages PDF using the 
ACM proceedings format, "sigplan" style.

The submission should include:

Title of the poster (beginning with "Poster Abstract:"),
Authors, affiliation, and contact information,
Description of the problems addressed,
Research and technical approach,
Any preliminary results,
Related work with bibliography.
Software and Data Artifact Availability for Accepted Papers

The authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit supporting 
materials to be made publicly available as “source materials” in the ACM 
Digital Library. The materials will be vetted by the Artifact 
Availability Evaluation process run by a separate committee. This 
submission is voluntary but encouraged and will not influence the final 
decision regarding the papers. Papers that go through the Artifact 
Availability Evaluation process successfully and are made available in 
the ACM Digital Library will receive a badge printed on the papers 
themselves.

Group publication, you hereby grant to ACM the following non-exclusive, 
perpetual, worldwide rights:
