Abstract

<p> <strong>A</strong> self&#8211;adaptive system changes its behavior in response to stimuli from its execution and operational environment&#046; As software is used for more pervasive and critical applications, support for self&#8211;adaptation is increasingly seen as vital in avoiding costly disruptions for repair, maintenance and evolution of systems&#046; Self&#8211;adaptation may result in changes to some functionality, algorithms, or system parameters, as well as to the system’s structure or any other system aspect&#046; Moreover, a self&#8211;adaptive system may have intrinsic intelligence that may help it reason about situations where autonomous decision making is required&#046; The major challenges to overcome in order to achieve adequate self&#8211;adaptive behavior are related to monitoring, quality and quantity of knowledge and awareness&#046; A successful self&#8211;adaptive system meets those challenges to emphasize features like adaptability, autonomy, mobility, robustness, and dynamicity&#046;</p> <h1> Research Topics</h1> <p> <strong>D</strong>eveloping self&#8211;adaptive systems is extremely challenging and requires approaches that can efficiently tackle the problems of expressing autonomy requirements, designing and implementing self&#8211;adaptive features, and efficiently testing self&#8211;adaptive behavior&#046; This conference seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners of self&#8211;adaptive systems that will provide the connection between theory and practice with the ultimate goal to bring both the science and industry closer to the so&#8211;called "autonomic culture” and successful realization of self&#8211;adaptive systems&#046; Both theoretical and applied contributions related to the relevance and potential of engineering methods, approaches and tools for self&#8211;adaptive systems are particularly welcome&#046; This applies to application areas and technologies such as:</p> <table style="width: 500px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="50%"> adaptable user interfaces</td> <td width="50%"> machine learning</td> </tr> <tr> <td> autonomic computing</td> <td> mobile ad&#8211;hoc networks</td> </tr> <tr> <td> awareness and self&#8211;awareness</td> <td> mobile and autonomous robots</td> </tr> <tr> <td> bio&#8211;inspired algorithms</td> <td> multi&#8211;agents systems</td> </tr> <tr> <td> dependable computing</td> <td> peer&#8211;to&#8211;peer applications</td> </tr> <tr> <td> embedded systems</td> <td> sensor networks</td> </tr> <tr> <td> genetic algorithms</td> <td> service&#8211;oriented arhcitectures</td> </tr> <tr> <td> knowledge representation and reasoning</td> <td> ubiquitous computing</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong></strong>
