Special session in International Conference on Pervasive and Embedded Computing and Communication Systems (PECCS 2013), http://www.peccs.org/, Barcelona, Spain, 19-21, Feb. 2013

** The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI, and will be available in SciTePress Digital Library.

** Selected papers will be recommended to special issues in IJARAS (International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems), IJERTCS (International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems), SCPE (Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience) and other international journals.

** Both regular papers and positional papers (with highly innovative and well-explained ideas but not yet complete implementation) are encouraged for submission.

Overview
Self-adaptive systems are capable of monitoring their environment and their own states in order to optimize and match their functions to different scenarios and requirements. The concept of self-adaptiveness belongs to the wide scope of autonomic computing, while focusing on the aspects of self-awareness, context-awareness and self-adaptation. While networked embedded systems relate to several research domains (e.g. software engineering, hardware engineering, network and communication), their studies are usually limited in their own concerns, assumption and verification environment. This special session aims to gather complementary research efforts addressing diverse issues in self-adaptive embedded systems, from requirement engineering, modeling, and application to concrete implementations. Both functional and extra-functional (e.g. energy-efficiency, dependability and security) properties are of interest to the session. Individual adaptive systems, distributed systems, and system-of-systems are relevant to this theme.

Topics of interest
The session solicits works in the requirement engineering, software and hardware design, modeling, implementation and applications of self-aware, context-aware and adaptive networked embedded systems, including the following topics:
• Requirement engineering
• Self-adaptive many-core systems, distributed systems.
• Self-adaptive software and middleware design
• Modeling and formal methods for self-adaptation and context-awareness
• Energy Efficiency, Dependability and Security
• Collective adaptive system/ System-of-systems
• Industrial and Commercial Case Studies
