Workshops
The workshops track is
becoming a tradition in the Middleware series of conferences. They are an
excellent opportunity to bring together researchers and academics working
on the forefront of middleware research, providing an atmosphere that encourages
interaction, interchange and cooperation. Following this principle, the Middleware2003
committee has selected four exciting workshops to be hosted in conjunction
with the main conference (follow this link for the original Call for Workshop Proposals). All workshops will be
held as full-day events on Tuesday, June 17th.
Middleware
for Pervasive and Ad-Hoc Computing (MPAC)
Organizer: Paddy Nixon - Strathclyde
University (UK)
This workshop seeks to develop, through establishing the state
of the art, a roadmap for research on essential software infrastructures
for ad-hoc and pervasive computing. We seek papers on these core areas of
middleware for ad-hoc and pervasive systems: focusing on the specific problems
of large scale, real world, pervasive computing environments through the
identification of appropriate core architectures, languages, and systems.
Reflective
and Adaptive Middleware Systems (RM2003)
Organizer: Angelo Corsaro - University
of California at Irvine (USA)
The goal of this workshop is to gather researchers on adaptive
and reflective middleware to gain insight on their experiences and new
ideas in adaptive and reflective middleware. Building off RM2000, an earlier
successful workshop at Middleware2000, this workshop will report on the
state-of-the-art progress in adaptive and reflective middleware, as well
as codify the challenging R&D problems that still need to be solved
effectively.
Middleware for Grid
Computing (MGC)
Organizer: Bruno Schulze
- National Scientific Computing Laboratory (Brazil)
The main goal of this workshop is particularly focused in looking
into Grid Middleware in the light of other middleware activities, bringing
together the different middleware traditions, such as the classic Grid
Middleware people, people looking at Object-Oriented or Component Middleware,
and the Open Grid Service Architecture / Web services people.
Model-driven Approaches
to Middleware Applications Development (MAMAD)
Organizer: Keith Duddy -
DSTC (Australia)
This workshop aims at bringing together people working on tools
and approaches to model-driven development which targets middleware platforms.
Participants will be theoreticians and practitioners who use OMG's MDA
or RM-ODP style approaches to modelling of systems. We seek experiences and
approaches to transforming models in SDL, STEP and other ADLs; or UML,
MOF and CWM among other modelling langaues into code and other artifacts
(or models thereof) specific to a middleware platform. Target platforms
of interest include CORBA, J2EE, .NET, Web Services, Workflow, Messaging
or EAI frameworks. Participants are encouraged to bring demonstrations
of transformation or software generation plugins, tools and prototypes.
