MIDDLEWARE 2022

We are currently planning for a physical conference in Quebec City, scheduled for November 2022. Due to the current pandemic, our plans may change and require a virtual conference. We will provide updates as they become available through our various channels (Website, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).

Due to extenuating circumstances and numerous requests, we have decided to exceptionally extend the paper submission deadline until May 25th 11:59 pm AoE.

ACM/IFIP Middleware

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.

Highlights of the conference will include a high quality single-track technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, tutorials and workshops.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Original submissions of research papers on a diverse range of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the interest for the conference include, but are not limited to:

Cloud and data centers

Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling

Data-intensive computing (big data) and data analytics

Stream Processing

Middleware Systems for Machine learning

Mobile and pervasive systems and services

Middleware techniques for Internet-of-Things, smart cities
