Middleware technologies consist of various components that form the infrastructure, or plumbing for parallel and
distributed computing. Middleware performance plays a critical role on the end-to-end performance of distributed
applications. Ensuring adherence to performance requirements in middleware-based distributed applications
demands for methodologies and tools that enable the software designer to evaluate the impact on the application
performance of different middleware alternatives.
This workshop solicits papers on methods, measures, and tools for performance in the very broad context of
middleware systems. This includes middleware infrastructures, interaction paradigms, communication protocols,
software architectures, middleware applications and their relationship with performance. The second edition of the
workshop aims to broaden the scope by specifically addressing the performance of service-oriented applications,
or applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOAs). Semantic SOAs are also of interest, since they put
together classical SOA technologies and emergent ontologies, e.g., in ubiquitous computing middleware and other
seamless connectivity systems.
Topic of Interest
The topics of the mini track will include but not limited to:
• Service governance and performance implications
• Performance analysis and modeling of service composition
• Capacity planning for SOA-based applications
• Performance for middleware infrastructures: service containers, cluster
and grid computing
• Performance of middleware for distributed and web-based simulation
• Performance for adaptive/reflective middleware
• Qo- aware middleware support
• Metrics and evaluation strategies for middleware
• Performance studies of communication primitives, such as peer to peer,
event, message and publish/subscribe-based communication
• QoS trade-off assessments, including measures, methods and models
that integrate performance and QoS aspects of middleware systems
• Middleware performance engineering process and practice
• Model-driven approaches to performance engineering and governance of
SOA-based applications
• Benchmark design and implementation for gathering performance
characteristics of middleware systems
