ICST Transactions on Middleware (ISSN: 2032-9490)

Description

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 Multi-threading, 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, De-duplication 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, Ad Hoc, Mobile and Hybrid Networks.
EIC’s Keywords

Middleware, software components, object-management, distributed systems, mobile computing, data intensive computing, cloud computing, grid computing, wireless communications, interactive systems.
Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Roy H. Campbell received his Honors B.S. Degree in Mathematics, with a Minor in Physics from the University of Sussex in 1969 and his M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees in Computer Science from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1972 and 1976, respectively. In 1976 he joined the faculty of the University of Illinois and in 1985 became a Full Professor of Computer Science. In 2004, he was awarded the Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Professorship and also became an IEEE Fellow. At the University of Illinois, he is Director of Graduate Admissions and Advancement for Computer Science, Director of the Centre of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education, and member of the Information Trust Institute. He is general chair for Middleware 2009 and program committee chair for Middleware 2007. His current research includes security for the power grid, cloud computing systems, multimedia, secure operating systems and mobile computers
