2009 Proceeding- Program Chair:
- Peter Triantafillou
Following the success of the past symposia in this series, this year's Middleware Doctoral Symposium (MDS) continued to serve as a forum for doctoral students to present their work and obtain guidance from senior researchers in the field, from either academia or industry, as well as to provide contact with other students at a similar stage in their careers. The goal of the symposium is to expose students to helpful feedback on their current work and to foster discussions related to possible future directions and focus.
The symposium consisted of a keynote speech, sessions of PhD paper presentations, informal discussions, and a mini-panel between the presenter, a mock thesis committee and the audience, led by the session chair, and a panel of distinguished researchers discussing open problems and future research directions in the field.

Context information provisioning in tuple spaces
The doctoral research work presented in this paper explores a novel context provisioning approach based on tuple spaces. Context information is a key part of pervasive computing applications and the increasing amount of potential context information ...
A semantic approach for building pervasive spaces
Large and pervasive sensing, communications, and computing infrastructures are enabling the realization of pervasive spaces. Enabling such spaces, however, encompasses a set of challenges. First, programming each application such that it connects to ...
Using the graphics processor unit to realize data streaming operations
Software development kits (SDKs) and supporting tools for Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) have matured and they now enable the implementation of complex middleware that takes advantage of the additional processing power. Working in synergy with CPUs, ...
EbAT: online methods for detecting utility cloud anomalies
The online detection of anomalies is a vital element of operations in datacenters and in utility clouds like Amazon EC2. Given ever-increasing data center sizes coupled with the complexities of systems software, applications, and workload patterns, such ...
Modeling and optimizing content-based publish/subscribe systems
Publish/subscribe systems are used increasingly often as a communication mechanism in loosely-coupled distributed systems. Their field of application is widespread ranging from communication platforms for real-time enterprises to Internet scale ...
Enhancing event based architectures with contextualised events in order to support cooperation in the perioperative environment: position paper
This paper introduces the COSTT (Cooperation-Support Through Transparency) project and the overall objectives it addresses. One of the challenges in the project is to design an architecture to represent clinical reality in order to support cooperation ...
