| Tutorial Proposal Deadline | June 15, 2019 |
| Tutorial Proposal Acceptance Notification | July 15, 2019 |
The annual ACM/IFIP Middleware conference is a major forum for the discussion of innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and use of middleware systems. Middleware is an umbrella term for the diverse software that resides between applications and underlying hardware and systems software. It facilitates the development of applications by providing higher-level abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, and security. It is an important and rapidly evolving field with many open problems and challenges.
The Middleware conference traditionally includes tutorials given by renowned scientists and practitioners in their fields. We welcome tutorials on both mature and emerging topics. Tutorials may be lectures, interactive workshops, hands-on training, or any combination of the above, with a preference for ideas where there is some degree of interactivity. We especially welcome cross-disciplinary topics and innovative ways of interacting with the audience.
