CALL FOR TUTORIALS

The annual ACM/IFIP Middleware conference is a major forum for the discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design, construction, and use of middleware systems. Middleware is the software that resides between applications and the underlying architecture and platforms, often with an emphasis on networked computing. The goal of middleware is to facilitate the development of applications by providing higher-level abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, and security. It is a rapidly evolving and growing field.

The organizing committee of MIDDLEWARE 2025, 26th ACM/IFIP International Conference, invites proposals for the tutorial program to be held on December 15th - 19th 2025.
The tutorials should target one of the following objectives:

  1. Present the most current and innovative research related to Middleware 2025 topics of interest.
  2. Survey area of research or practice relevant to Middleware systems with the focus on the design, development and validation of distributed systems, platforms and architectures for computing, storage and communication
  3. Describe and motivate research topic of emerging importance related to middleware systems.
  4. Provide training in well-established methodologies and practices for designing and using middleware systems.
Topic areas of interest are described in the conference call. Tutorials will be half day long.
