DESCRIPTION:<br>* The concept of self–awareness has become a hot research topic in a variety<br>of disciplines such as robotics, artificial intelligence, control theory,<br>networked systems, and so on. Its applicability has been explored in various<br>application domains such as automotive, military, consumer electronics,<br>industrial control, medical equipment, and so forth. The topic owes its<br>attractiveness to many examples in insects, animals and humans, where<br>self–awareness is attributed to facilitate highly resilient and outstandingly<br>efficient behaviors. Thus, self–awareness holds the promise to promote<br>dependability in all types of smart gadgets and artificial agents in the<br>interconnected world of future.<br>* The main purpose of this workshop is to build a community and to try to<br>develop a shared and communal understanding of the main concepts underlying<br>self–awareness with respect to CPS. Currently, self–awareness is studied in a<br>range of different communities, where the underlying assumptions, definitions<br>and goals differ significantly. This workshop will provide a forum for<br>reflections and in–depth discussions of the pivotal concepts of this field<br>which will serve as a basis for building an integrated scientific community<br>and for developing future research projects.<br>* In addition to invited keynote speech and participants’ talks, we will<br>study and scrutinize specific systems and underlying concept of observation and<br>it role in self–awareness and its respective properties in hands–on exercises<br>and group discussions. Some procedures will be proposed, based on which workshop<br>participants will work on identification of various observation methods and its<br>effect on awareness in systems (described in the literature or proposed by<br>participants). This exercise will serve as a platform for analyzing the<br>principles and basic concepts of self–awareness, specifically observation<br>and its role in the self–awareness of the systems under study as well as<br>other systems. By engagement of the community in this hands–on joint practice we<br>hope to generate new ideas for future research directions and foster new and<br>stronger collaborations.<br>***<br>We seek previously published or unpublished contributions for oral and/or<br>poster presentations on research relevant to self–awareness in cyber–physical<br>systems on, but not limited to, the following topics and application areas<br>TOPICS:<br>– Self–Awareness in resource constrained distributed systems<br>– Self–awareness in HW, Operating System, and applications<br>– Self–awareness facilitating autonomous, adaptive or resilient behavior<br>– Demonstration of self–awareness<br>– Architectures<br>– Design methods<br>– Systems with other Self–* properties<br>APPLICATION AREAS:<br>– Sensor Networks<br>– Internet of Things<br>– Automotive<br>– Robotics<br>– Health Monitoring<br>– Industrial Automation<br>– Autonomous Vehicles<br>– System–on–Chip <div><br></div>
