CFP:
1St AWARENESS Workshop on Challenges in Achieving Self-Awareness in Autonomous Systems
To be held at:
Fifth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2011) Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - 7th October 2011
******************************************************************************
As technology continues to rapidly advance, the management of systems becomes increasingly more difficult: systems are likely to be composed of heterogeneous devices, the topology of the system can dynamically change to device mobility; components of the system are probably programmed with different models, and emergent behaviours can occur, not pre-programmed into the system. On top of this, users of systems expect 24/7 reliability, high levels of security, and privacy of their data. The scale of the challenge imposed by the necessity to manage these systems is such that control can no longer be devolved to a human. Systems must be able to manage themselves - this implies that they must therefore be self-aware. However, enabling self- awareness in a system raises many challenges, which will require a multi- disciplinary approach to overcome them.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a range of disciplines to articulate the main challenges and propose methods of addressing them. The workshop solicits both conceptual papers which outline challenges and suggest novel approaches to addressing them, and technical papers describing results or methodologies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Methods for enabling adaptation across multiple timescales
* Approaches to balancing tradeoffs between global and local concerns of the system
* Consideration of how systems can predict future events and adapt accordingly
* Methods which enable performance be optimised across the system
* Techniques for enabling resource usage (i.e energy, bandwidth) to be optimised
* Consideration of novel architectures for creating systems composed of heterogeneous nodes which may be programmed in different ways
* New methods software engineering and abstraction for coping with diverse systems
