ICST Transactions on Middleware

Scope:

The ICST Transactions on Middleware addresses new contributions to the design, construction and uses of middleware. Middleware facilitates distributed applications, databases or devices primarily by coordinating and enabling communication between different layers or components of the applications and the underlying hardware and system software. Middleware provides a single, well-tested and well-understood system abstraction instead of a complexity of distribution concerns. The transactions will publish new concepts, experimental results and industrial experience of middleware in mobile and cellular, data intensive, cloud, grid, wireless and wired, real-time, web, game, or interactive computer systems. The EiC encourages the submission of high-quality papers dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Adaptive, Reflection, Service-Oriented Architectures, Enterprise Architectures, Automation, Reconfiguration, Peer-to-peer, Virtualization, Virtual Provisioning, and Autonomic middleware;
  • Office, Health Care, Grid, Data Intensive, Map/Reduce and Cloud Computing;
  • Specifications, Requirements, Verification, and Validation;
  • Simulations, Experiments, Performance, Diagnosis;
  • Techniques and Strategies for Multithreading, Multiprocessing, Dynamic Placement, Scheduling, and Power Management;
  • Distributed Object Systems, File Systems, File System Cloning, Languages, Exception handling, Debugging, and Testing;
  • Security, Confidentiality, Integrity, Authorization, Credential Management, and Intrusion Tolerance;
  • Fault-tolerance, Reliability, Robustness, Quality of Service, Deduplication and Availability;
  • Publish/Subscribe, Query and Event Systems;
  • Adaptive, Context-aware, Location, Situation Aware, Mobile and Agents;
  • Overlay, Naming, Routing, World Wide Web, Sensor, Groups, Adhoc, Mobile andHybrid Networks.
