*****Scope and Topics of Interests*****
The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing
networks and systems by proposing the concept of "STEM-networks". This
concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration,
self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther
until including the concept of node mutation and evolution.
The "stemness" term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able
to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference
with the biological counterpart and the our concept of stemness lies on the
reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically
configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished.
Strictly related to the stemness concept is not only selfness property of
the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In
fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple
sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task.
In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics
of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
- New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization
- New advancements in Software Defined Networking
- Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services
differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision
- Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks
- Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization
- Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks
- Self-organizing group and pattern formation
- Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource
allocation
- Self-organizing information dissemination and content search
- Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems
- Risks and limits of self-organization
- Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet
- Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies
*****Submissions Guidelines*****
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the
deadline of 30 May 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS.
All papers describing original work must be written in English and should be
no more than 6 printed pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format
including tables, figures, and references.
