Abstract

The aim of the Self&#8211;Adaptive and Self&#8211;Organizing systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering<br>systems, networks and services based on self&#8211;adaptation and self&#8211;organization&#046; The complexity of current and emerging networks, software and services, especially<br>in dealing with dynamics in the environment and problem domain, has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for<br>inspiration in diverse fields (e&#046;g&#046;, complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing<br>such computing systems&#046; In this endeavor, self&#8211;organization and self&#8211;adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches&#046;<br>The eight edition of the SASO conference embraces the inter&#8211;disciplinarity and the scientific, empirical and application dimensions of self&#8211;* systems and welcomes<br>novel results on both self&#8211;adaptive and self&#8211;organizing systems research&#046; The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>&#8211; Self&#8211;* systems theory: theoretical frameworks and models; biologically&#8211; and socially&#8211;inspired paradigms; inter&#8211;operation of self&#8211;* mechanisms;<br>&#8211; Self&#8211;* systems engineering: reusable mechanisms, design patterns, architectures, methodologies; software and middleware development frameworks and methods, platforms<br>and toolkits; hardware; self&#8211;* materials;<br>&#8211; Self&#8211;* system properties: robustness, resilience and stability; emergence; computational awareness and self&#8211;awareness; reflection;<br>&#8211; Self&#8211;* cyber&#8211;physical and socio&#8211;technical systems: human factors and visualization; self&#8211;* social computers; crowdsourcing and collective awareness;<br>&#8211; Applications and experiences of self&#8211;* systems: cyber security, transportation, computational sustainability, big data and creative commons, power systems&#046;<br>
