11th Workshop on
Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM 2012)
Workshop Scope Currently available middleware systems are required to support various levels of flexibility in order to adapt and tailor their behavior and properties to the increasing dynamism of new models of computation and new classes of applications. These usually include:
Applying reflective techniques to middleware, and related software platforms for interoperability, one-to-many deployment, and adaptability, in order to ”open up” their implementation, was explored in the previous workshops in this series [1–10] and proved particularly successful and influential. Reflection by itself is today considered a baseline, yet it is insufficient to deliver the flexibility demanded by today’s ever diversifying middleware environments, requiring higher and higher degrees of adaptability and resilience. The 11th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective Middleware aims to follow on the success of previous editions by providing researchers with a forum to address this technological gap and explore how reflective approaches can be combined with complementary perspectives to support the complete life-cycle of highly adaptive middleware platforms. As in the previous editions, the traditional scope of the workshop will be expanded to the following aspects:
Relevance and Goals Following the success of the past workshops in this series [1–9], ARM2012 aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the challenging problems that remain unsolved. The goal is to gather active researchers in this important field, so as to gain insight on their experiences and the new approaches being proposed. This edition follows the path initiated in the 2006 edition, by bringing together a wider group of researchers that are involved in designing and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers, including architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network layers, as well as using different techniques that are complementary to reflection. The past four editions led us to believe that a forum that allows experts in these communities to interact with each other will support a more holistic approach to future research in adaptive and reflective systems. The workshop should provide an exciting environment in which to leverage cooperation among researchers, contributing to the development of middleware technology. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Submissions Research papers should not exceed 6 pages of text on letter paper in ACM format. Content should be work that is not previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere; Poster submissions should initially submit a 2 pages abstract describing the poster content in ACM format; this offers the opportunity to present and receive feedback at the workshop about work still in its early stages; Demo submissions should initially submit a 2 pages abstract in ACM format, describing the contribution and content of the demo; we are particularly interested in demonstrations of adaptive middleware tools and solutions. Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arm20120 This workshop has its own ISBN and will be included in the ACM digital library. Extended versions of the best workshop papers will be invited to be published in a special issue of the Journal of Internet Services and Applications (Springer), edited by Fabio Kon and Gordon Blair.
