Scope
=====

Increasingly, computer systems are composed of many interacting components
which, due to issues of scale or separation, cannot be centrally controlled;
instead, it is desirable that these components cooperate in order to harness
resources or solve distributed problems, across heterogeneous and dynamic
environments.

Examples of cooperative systems include cloud computing, sensor networks and
the Internet of Things. Cooperative systems comprise entities which interact
with each other and their environment, providing services in order to help
achieve specific goals. They are characterised by their underlying network
architecture, their level of distribution, their mode of interaction
and the degree of autonomy of the entities. Common approaches include
client-server architectures, P2P systems, multi-agent systems (MAS),
self-organising systems and social networks. Additionally, cooperation may
be assumed a priori, or induced in autonomous agents by self-interest.

Key challenges for cooperative systems include how to design and implement
entities and interaction models in order to achieve system goals effectively,
robustly and efficiently, within environmental constraints. Adaptation,
self-management, expressive knowledge representation and flexible architectures
and interaction mechanisms are key enablers.

Topics of Interest
==================

The aim of this track is to provide a forum for the presentation of original
research on the design and deployment of cooperative systems from academia and
industry. The track seeks contributions on cooperative behaviour and cooperative
systems related but not limited to the following topics:

* Architectures for cooperative systems
* Efficient adaptation and self-adaptation of cooperative systems
* Context-awareness and self-awareness in cooperative systems
* Managing the relationship between local, shared and global goals
* Resource management and brokering in cooperative systems
* Ontologies and knowledge representation in cooperative systems
* Autonomous and emergent behaviour in cooperative systems
* Arbitration, argumentation and negotiation in cooperative systems
* Self-management and self-configuration of cooperative systems
* Security, trust and reputation in cooperative systems
* Mediation and conflict management in cooperative systems
* Policy management in cooperative systems
* Cooperative systems for service provision and management
* Cooperative systems for resource management
* Cooperation in ubiquitous and pervasive environments
* Cooperation in social and P2P community systems
* Cooperative systems in e-science, e-commerce, e-government and e-learning
* Case studies and experiences of cooperative systems
