Call For Papers
The 15th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflective
Middleware (ARM 2016) follows on the success of over a decade of
previous editions exploring how reflective approaches and associated
techniques can support the life-cycle of adaptive middleware platforms.
Such systems must adapt and tailor their behavior and properties to
increasing levels of dynamism and unprecedented scales. Adaptation and
reflection mechanisms must take into account novel models of computation
and new classes of applications such as networked and cloud
applications, the Internet of Things and their combination. Applying
reflective techniques to open-up the implementation of middleware and
related software platforms for interoperability, one-to-many deployment,
and adaptability proved particularly successful and influential.
Reflection by itself is today considered a baseline. Its combination
with other software adaptation techniques has proven beneficial to
extend the reach to different layers of the software stack. Further
consolidating this approach can allow delivering the flexibility
demanded by today’s ever diversifying middleware environments, which
require higher and higher degrees of adaptability and resilience.ARM
2016 aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state
of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the
challenging problems that remain unsolved. This edition follows the path
initiated in recent editions, by bringing together experts involved in
designing and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers,
including architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network
layers, as well as in using techniques that are complementary to
reflection. The workshop will provide an exciting environment in which
to leverage cooperation among researchers.
