INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MICROSERVICES
=========================================
The **International Conference on Microservices** is a forum for the
discussion of all aspects of microservices: their design, programming,
and operations.
Microservices 2019 is part of a series of conferences started with
Microservices 2017 which successfully brought together many
international practitioners and researchers interested in the software
paradigm of microservices. During Microservices 2017 the Microservices
Community was founded with the aims of sharing of knowledge, fostering
of collaborations, and organising events around microservices. In this
edition, Microservices will be co-located and intertwined with the first
international edition of the Meeting on Microservices, an event
specifically oriented towards companies where invited speakers from
industry report success stories, best practices, current challenges, and
attendees participate to discussion panels on the adoption and evolution
of microservices in production.
ABOUT MICROSERVICES'19
======================
The 2019 edition of the conference (Microservices 2019) will take place
from February 19th to 21st, 2019 at the University of Applied Sciences
and Arts Dortmund, Germany.
The theme of this edition is the interplay between **microservices** and
the **Digital Transformation**, i.e., the process of accelerating and
improving business activities, processes, and models through digital
automation. This process is crucial for companies in highly-competing
markets, where integration and flexibility of software systems becomes a
critical asset to establish leadership. Here, microservices can play a
central role. They can streamline integration (thanks to their focus on
standards and interoperability) and enable more flexible solutions (by
supporting dynamic deployments and elastic scaling).
However these benefits come at a cost: an increased complexity that
calls for a proportional improvement of techniques for software
construction. This requires contributions from different areas, ranging
from formal methods to software engineering and the general art of
programming.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Design and implementation of microservice architectures.
- Empirical studies of microservices.
- Software engineering methods for microservices.
- Security in microservices.
- Formal models for microservices.
- Verification (both static and runtime) of microservice systems.
- Programming languages and techniques for microservices.
- Testing for microservices.
See https://microservices.fh-dortmund.de for full details.
We solicit contributions in the form of extended abstracts with a
maximum length of two pages. A submission should describe a talk to be
given at the event. Talks can be based on work in progress, scientific
work published or submitted for publication, or practical experience
reports. Practical demonstrations of tools are also welcome. Extended
abstracts of accepted contributions will be available electronically
before the conference.
Microservices 2019 will employ a lightweight reviewing process.
PROGRAM
=======
In addition to the presentation of submissions, the program will feature
five exciting and interesting keynotes ranging from the design and
development
to the actual deployment of microservices.
For more details, see https://microservices.fh-dortmund.de/keynotes/ .
SUBMITTING & DEADLINE
=====================
The deadline for submissions is November 30th, 2018, Anywhere on Earth.
Authors will be notified on the acceptance of their submissions from
January 18th, 2019. Resubmissions are allowed until the submission
deadline. Contributions are to be submitted through EasyChair using the
following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microservices2019
FORMATTING
==========
Submissions must be in PDF format, printable in black and white on A4
paper, and interpretable by common PDF tools. All submissions must be
prepared using the Easychair template, available for LaTeX
(https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip) and MS Word
(https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.docx).
POST-PROCEEDINGS
================
Depending on the success of this initiative, we are considering the
publication of a volume of post-proceedings, for which there will be a
separate call for papers. In this way, the interested authors will have
a chance to enrich their contributions according to the feedback they
received during the event. The tentative deadline for submitting papers
for the post-proceedings is mid-May 2019.
