The conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused papers and use case studies; full papers should be submitted to the main program, where they will be reviewed using appropriate criteria (e.g. emphasizing experience and system evolution), and accepted papers will be published in the main conference proceedings. Additionally, short industry-focused papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) may be submitted to a special industrial track; accepted short papers will be presented at the conference and published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that submissions to the main program may indicate a willingness to be referred to the Industrial Track if a paper is not accepted to the main program.
Industrial Track Topics: Submission on a diversity of topics are sought; particularly those that identify new directions in deployment and use of middleware in production settings. We welcome experience reports on developing and using product quality middleware, war stories (success and failure), and lessons learned.
