Call for Industry Track Papers

The annual ACM/IFIP/USENIX Middleware conference is a major forum for the
discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and
use of middleware systems. The Industrial Track of the Middleware 2017
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:

1) Experience reports and measurements relating to

a) Deployments of Internet-scale environments, including grids, datacenters, and
other large-scale systems

b) Cloud computing middleware, for Infrastructure/Platform/Application as a
Service Quality of service, quality of user experience

c) Scalability issues (e.g., observed real-life workloads and applications)

d) Reliability and availability issues (observed real-life faults, fault models,
and recovery mechanisms)

e) Security issues (e.g., real attacks on deployed platforms and their impacts)

f) Middleware for mobile computing and its distinctive requirements

g) Middleware in big data and machine learning systems and applications

h) Deployments of embedded systems, sensor networks and Internet of Things

2) Approaches, mechanisms and tools for

a) 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"

b) DevOps, continuous software development, integration, and delivery

c) Operation and maintenance, e.g., install and upgrade, bug fixes, and backup

d) Runtime management, e.g., monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, and
remediation

e) Economic, energy-aware, and environmental analyses (e.g. cost and/or energy
impacts of various data center deployment models)

Important Dates

Abstract registration: August 11, 2017
Paper submission: August 18, 2017
Author notification: September 30, 2017
Camera ready due: October 27, 2017

Submission Guidelines

A submission must be a single PDF file conforming to the ACM 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.

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.

Submissions will be handled through HotCRP-
