CALL FOR PAPERS
The 4th Workshop on
Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM2005)
in conjunction with
Middleware 2005,
the 6th ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference
Grenoble, France
Monday, November 28, 2005
http://www.txcorp.com/~nanbor/ARM2005/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
--------
Most of the middleware used and developed today is characterised by
its inflexibility in adapting to different target environments and
application areas. This lack of adaptability usually comes from the
fact that middleware is traditionally built as a single monolithic
entity. This inflexibility usually can be characterised by either the
inability to adapt the behaviour of the platform, the inability to
adapt its structure, or even both. In application domains such as
mobile computing, distributed multimedia, and distributed real-time
and embedded (DRE) systems, where resources are both constrained and
variable in time, having the ability to reconfigure the middleware in
order to optimise the resource usage and provide the desired
quality of service (QoS) becomes a key feature.
Applying reflective techniques to middleware, in order to "open up" the
implementation, is one of the ways to provide a greater degree of
configurability and dynamic adaptability at the middleware level. In
the past few years, researchers have been experimenting with the use
of reflection, component-based software engineering, software
architecture, design patterns and component frameworks, to achieve
these goals.
Following the success of the past three workshops, ARM2005 aims at
providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art
in reflective and adaptive middleware, and with the challenging
problems that remain unsolved. This workshop permits researchers from
around the world investigating middleware adaptation to interact and
share ideas. It will provide a forum to further the application of
adaptive middleware techniques to a variety of domains, such as
medicine, command and control, homeland security, entertainment and
commerce.
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Attendance to the workshop is based on the submission of a position
paper or poster. Position papers should not exceed 6 pages of text on
letter/A4 paper in ACM format without page numbers. Document
templates for most popular document processing tools can be found at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. Poster
submissions should be accompanied with a 2-page abstract summarizing
the poster.
Papers and poster abstracts should be emailed to
<rm05submit@fusion.txcorp.com> with subject line clearly identifying
"ARM2005 submission" before submission deadline. All papers and
abstracts should be in either PS, PDF or Microsoft Word, format.
All workshop papers will be published via ACM's Digital Library as
part of the "ACM International Conference Proceeding Series" (AICPS).
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but not limit to the
following:
* Design and performance of adaptive reflective middleware platforms
* Design and development of adaptive and reconfigurable applications
* Separation of concerns in adaptive and reflective middleware
* Design of application domain specific Meta Object Protocols (MOP)
for adaptive and reflective middleware
* Experiences with adaptive and reflective technologies in suitable
application domains e.g., real-time systems, mobile computing,
etc.
* Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection,
as it relates to middleware
* Experience with existing techniques, such as CORBA portable
interceptors and policy management framework
* Combination with meta-modeling approaches, such as the OMG's
Meta-Object Facility (MOF) and Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF)
* Consideration of alternative techniques for dynamic configuration
and reconfiguration
* Examination of potentially complementary techniques, such as
aspect-oriented programming
* Scalability and performance optimization of adaptive
and reflective middleware systems
* Approaches to maintain the integrity of adaptive and reflective
technologies
* Tool support for adaptive and reflective middleware
* Software engineering techniques for adaptive and reflective
middleware, e.g., design patterns, component frameworks and
software architectures
* Design and programming abstractions to manage the complexity of
reflective and adaptive mechanisms
* Composition of systemic aspects and adaptive behaviours into
component middleware applications
* Abstraction, specification, and modelling of composable systemic
aspects and behaviours in component middleware framework.
* Formal Methods for adaptive and reflective middleware
* Aplications of reflective middleware in novel areas, such as (but
not limitted to) mobile, pervasive and grid computing
* The role of reflection in new models of middleware, such as Web
Services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
* Reflection support for self-healing and self-repair systems
* Reflective and adaptive middleware architectures for very
large-scale systems
