Middleware 2025 : 26th ACM/IFIP International Middleware Conference

ACM/IFIP Middleware
The annual ACM/IFIP Middleware conference is a major forum for discussing innovations and recent scientific advances in middleware systems with a focus on the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed systems, platforms, and architectures for computing, storage, and communication.

The conference will include a high-quality single-track technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, tutorials, and workshops.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The Middleware conference seeks original submissions of research papers on a diverse range of topics, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of interest for the conference include, but are not limited to:

Middleware Applications
Middleware for cyber-physical and real-time systems
Middleware support for security and privacy
Middleware for AI and machine learning systems
Middleware for data science pipelines
Middleware techniques for internet-of-things and smart cities
Middleware for multimedia systems
Middleware Systems
Fault tolerance and consistency
Distributed and parallel systems
Distributed ledgers and blockchains
Event-based, publish/subscribe, streaming, and peer-to-peer systems
Serverless and Function-as-a-Service computing
Data-intensive systems (big data)
Cloud, fog, edge computing, and data centers
Networking, network function virtualization, and software-defined networking
Mobile and pervasive systems and services
Emerging hardware technologies
Middleware Design Principles and Programming Models
Programming abstractions and paradigms for middleware
Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware
