*******************************************************************************
Fifth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing
Systems (SASO 2011)
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
October 3 - October 7, 2011 http://www.cscs.umich.edu/SASO2011/index.php
*******************************************************************************
OVERVIEW/SCOPE
**************
The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the foundations
of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on
self-* properties such as self-organization, self-adaptation, self-management,
self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-configuration, self-repair, etc. To this
end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to
foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss
innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications.
THEME
*****
The fifth edition of the SASO conference emphasizes the interconnection of
research between and within fields: application of self-* principles in systems
to solve novel real-world problems or advance research in other research
domains; advances in self-* mechanisms or analyses with potentially broad
application; combination and interconnection of self-* systems; and extraction
of new self-* principles or mechanisms from the study of natural or engineered
systems.
TOPICS
******
The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to:
- Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems
- Robustness and dependability of self-* systems
- Control of emergent properties in self-* systems
- Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems
- Management and control of self-* systems
- Design and engineering for self-* systems
- Applications and experiences with self-* systems
Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or
practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world
systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc.
Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family
of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for
different systems are particularly encouraged.
Besides full papers, there are also calls for posters, workshops and tutorials.
