Workshop on Reflective Middleware
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/RM2000/
7th-8th April, 2000
IBM Palisades Executive Conference Center
New York, USA
Held in conjunction with the IFIP/ACM International Conference
on Distributed Systems Platforms and Open Distributed Processing
(Middleware'2000), held at same venue, 3rd - 7th April 2000:
http://www.research.ibm.com/Middleware2000/
Important Dates:
===============
Submission of position papers: Monday 14th February
Notification of acceptances: Monday 6th March
Technical Scope:
===============
Middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM are now established
as central elements in modern computer systems. Middleware like
JINI and CORBA can offer portability and interoperability through
their platform independent programming models. However, the rapid
deployment of applications of this technology has created a demand
for dynamically configurable middleware to accommodate rapidly
changing execution requirements. The reflective middleware platforms
that are emerging offer a general solution to agile reconfiguration
through the concepts of open implementation and reflection.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working
on reflective middleware platforms (and related technologies),
to identify key developments in such areas, and to discuss the
future of this potentially important technology. The workshop will
be limited in size to a maximum of 50 participants to enhance
discussion, with participants invited on the basis of position
papers. Such position papers should be no longer than two pages
in length and should address topics such as:
* The design and implementation of reflective middleware platforms;
* Experiences with such reflective technologies in suitable
application domains, e.g. mobile computing;
* Fundamental developments in the theory and practice of reflection,
related to this area;
* Experience with existing mechanisms such as CORBA interceptors or
the Meta-Object Facility;
* Consideration of alternative techniques for dynamic configuration
and/or re-configuration;
* Examination of potentially complementary techniques such as
aspect-oriented programming;
* Techniques to improve performance and/ or scalability of reflective
techniques;
* Approaches to maintain the integrity of reflective technologies;
* Tool support for reflective middleware.
The workshop will last for 1 day, starting after lunch on the 7th
April (immediately following the end of Middleware'2000, and
ending at lunchtime on the following day.
Submission Procedure:
====================
Submissions should be made electronically, following the procedure
described at:
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/RM2000/
by the date given above. A technical program will then be put
together by the program committee, based on the submitted position
papers, with emphasis given to opportunity for discussion. The
collective set of position papers will be made available on the
Internet, along with a record of the discussions.
The Location:
============
The IBM Palisades Executive Conference Center is an excellent
facility located in Palisades, 12 miles north of New York City,
on the west bank of the Hudson river. The facility is on 106
secluded acres in the beautiful Hudson River valley, which offers
a variety of attractions from romantic landscapes, stunning
architecture, and powerful history, to the highly accessible
cultural richness of Manhattan.
