The 1st International Workshop on Self-Managing Pervasive Service
Systems, in conjunction with ICSOC 2012, November 12-16, Shanghai,
China
https://sites.google.com/site/semapsworkshop/
There is a growing trend for the convergence of different computing
paradigms, such as cloud computing, pervasive and mobile computing,
service oriented computing. The applications of large scale Internet
of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), Internet of People (IoP)
are gaining increasing attention in the converged computing world with
unprecedented complexities: the management of an application is much
more difficult due to large number of involved devices, events and
contexts, due to the heterogeneity of networking, hardware and
software; the shifting of storage and processing to cloud systems,
security and privacy concerns become more challenging. All in all,
applications and systems tend to become more complex than before to
manage and operate in the converged world. These challenges call for
useful self-managing capabilities to alleviate existing problems.
The realization of self-managing pervasive service systems needs
cross-discipline research, including artificial intelligence, cloud
computing, pervasive and mobile computing, autonomic computing,
software engineering, service oriented computing which are
complementary with each other.
Call for papers
The workshop is soliciting papers on broad topics for self-managing
pervasive service system. The topics of SeMaPS 2012 workshop include
but not limited to:
* Software engineering research on achieving self-management
capabilities in the converged computing environments, for example
autonomic components, architecture driven self-management in pervasive
service systems, formal methods for regulating self-management
activities;
* Approaches and tools for building pervasive service systems which
can span across small devices and powerful computing node including
cloud nodes;
* Ways of improving the intelligence of self-managing systems through
different computing intelligence approaches, for example the use of
different computing intelligence approaches for planning in
self-management features;
* Approaches to self-managing capabilities in pervasive service
systems, to realizing self-protection, self-optimization,
self-configuration/adaptation, self-diagnosis/healing;
* Context-awareness for pervasive service systems include context
modelling and reasoning for self-managing systems, for example the
usage of efficient pattern recoginition algorithms to recognize the
current contexts, new context modeling and reasoning approaches for
achieving context-awareness;
* New pervasive service systems including various applications for
example smart transportation systems, smart logistic systems, smart
manufacturing systems and robotic systems, etc.?
* Environments and tools for the development of self-managing
pervasive service systems
We are accepting three kinds of papers, the first are original and
unpublished research papers, the second are visionary papers accepted
as ?work in progress? papers, the thrid are demo papers and industrial
papers that shows strong application of self-managing, pervasive
service systems.

paper can be submitted either in LaTex or in MSWord format.
Please submit your paper using the link Semaps 2012 Submission Web
Site at EasyChair. In order to be able to upload your paper (in pdf
format) you have to create an account at www.easychair.org.
All accepted papers will be published in Springer LNCS as post
conference proceedings. Selected high quality papers will be
recommended to a special issue of ELSEVIER Knowledge-Based Systems
(SCI indexed, Impact Factor: 1.574, 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.454).
Support and Best paper selection
Students traveling grants have been settled and are open to three
students. Each student will be granted 600RMB (around 95$) for the
support of their travel. One best paper will also be selected based on
review results. The best paper will be granted 600RMB. We also welcome
well-known researchers to give a keynote talk at the workshop and some
support will be considered if necessary.
