[ieeetcsc-discuss] CfP - 2nd Workshop on Middleware and Performance (WOMP'07)

[Andrea D'Ambrogio]

CALL FOR PAPERS
(submission deadline EXTENDED to April 23rd, 2007)

   Second International Workshop on Middleware and Performance
   WOMP 2007 - http://womp.uib.es

conjunct with the

   Fifth International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed
   Processing and Applications - ISPA 2007
   Niagara Falls, ON, Canada
   Aug 28 - Sept 1, 2007


Workshop theme
--------------
Middleware technologies consist of various components that
form the infrastructure, or plumbing for parallel and
distributed computing. Middleware performance plays a
critical role on the end-to-end performance of distributed
applications. Ensuring adherence to performance requirements
in middleware-based distributed applications demands for
methodologies and tools that enable the software designer to
evaluate the impact on the application performance of
different middleware alternatives.
This workshop solicits papers on methods, measures, and
tools for performance in the very broad context of
middleware systems. This includes middleware
infrastructures, interaction paradigms, communication
protocols, software architectures, middleware applications
and their relationship with performance. The second edition
of the workshop aims to broaden the scope by specifically
addressing the performance of service-oriented applications,
or applications based on service-oriented architectures
(SOAs). Semantic SOAs are also of interest, since they put
together classical SOA technologies and emergent ontologies,
e.g., in ubiquitous computing middleware and other seamless
connectivity systems.

Topics of interest
------------------
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    * Service governance and performance implications
    * Performance analysis and modeling of service composition
    * Capacity planning for SOA-based applications
    * Performance for middleware infrastructures: service
      containers, cluster and grid computing
    * Performance of middleware for distributed and web-based
      simulation
    * Performance for adaptive/reflective middleware
    * QoS-aware middleware support
    * Metrics and evaluation strategies for middleware
    * Performance studies of communication primitives, such as
      peer to peer, event, message and publish/subscribe-based
      communication
    * QoS trade-off assessments, including measures, methods
      and models that integrate performance and QoS aspects of
      middleware systems
    * Middleware performance engineering process and practice
    * Model-driven approaches to performance engineering and
      governance of SOA-based applications
    * Benchmark design and implementation for gathering
      performance characteristics of middleware systems
    * Case studies and experience report
