CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important 
innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and uses of 
middleware. Middleware is a distributed-system software that resides 
between applications and underlying platforms (operating systems; 
databases; hardware), and/or ties together distributed applications, 
databases or devices. Its primary role is to coordinate and enable 
communication between different layers or components while isolating 
much of the complexity of distribution into a single, well tested and 
well understood system abstraction.

Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 10th 
International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for 
middleware research and technology in 2009. The scope of the conference 
is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed 
system platforms and architectures for future computing and 
communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a 
high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, 
poster and demo presentations, and tutorials.

This tenth edition includes papers on next generation platforms (such as 
stream systems, pervasive systems and cloud systems), managing 
enterprise datacenters, and platforms for building other platforms, 
among others. However, a common theme runs through all this diversity: 
the need to build reliable, scalable, secure platforms to serve as the 
key ingredient for distributed applications. The list of accepted papers 
can be accessed at http://middleware2009.cs.uiuc.edu/accepted.html

Further, the conference will also offer an array of exciting satellite 
events, including:
* MDS - 6th Middleware Doctoral Symposium
* MGC - 7th International Workshop on Middleware for Grids, Clouds and 
e-Science
* MWSOC - 4th International Workshop on Middleware for Service Oriented 
Computing
* M-MPAC - International Workshop on Middleware for Pervasive Mobile and 
Embedded Computing
* ARM - 8th International Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware
* MIDSENS - 4th international workshop on Middleware Tools, Services and 
Run-Time Support for Sensor Networks

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
The MW'09 Team
