CALL FOR PAPERS ICSE 2010 SEAMS
Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS)
Two-Day ICSE Workshop: May 3-4, 2010 Cape Town, South Africa
http://www.inf.usi.ch/seams
THEME
With the rapid growth of web services and the continuous evolution
from software-intensive systems to socio-technical ecosystems, the
management complexity of these modern, decentralized, distributed
computing systems presents significant challenges for businesses and
often exceeds the capabilities of human operators. End-users
increasingly demand from businesses that they provide software systems
that are versatile, resilient, dependable, robust, service-oriented,
meshable, inter-operable, continuously available, decentralized, self-
healing, configurable, or self-optimizing.
One of the most promising approaches to achieving some of these
properties is to equip software systems with feedback control to
address the management of inherent system dynamics. The resulting self-
adapting and self-managing computing systems are better able to cope
with and even accommodate changing environments, shifting
requirements, and computing-on-demand needs.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from many of these diverse areas to discuss the
fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of
self-adaptive and self-managing systems. Specifically, we intend to
focus on the software engineering aspects to support dynamical
adaptive and self-managing behaviour. In this 5th workshop, we will
look at results achieved in self-adaptability and experimental systems
to compare approaches and results.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- feedback control and architecture patterns for self-adaptation and
self-management;
- models and algorithms for software self-management;
- integration mechanisms for self-adaptive and self-managing systems;
- formal notations for modeling and analyzing software self-adaptation;
- methods for engineering user-trust of self-adaptive and self-
managing systems;
- methods to instrument existing systems to observe self-managing
behaviour over long periods of time;
- dynamical verification and validation of self-managing software;
- evaluation and assurance for self-adaptive systems;
- decision algorithms for self-adaptive systems;
- exemplars for benchmarking.
The following application areas are of particular interest: autonomic
computing; problem determination including logging, analysis and
diagnostics; mobile computing; dependable computing; autonomous
robotics; adaptable user interfaces; service-oriented applications.
We strongly encourage submissions about engineering self-adaptive
computing systems from components.
PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS
We invite
- position papers and progress reports describing ongoing work or new
ideas,
- research papers and experience reports describing validated research
results,
- survey papers
all within the scope of the workshop.
Papers should be between 5-10 pages long and must not have been
previously published or submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries under SEAMS 2010
Workshop Proceedings as part of the ICSE 2010 Workshop publications.
Please submit papers for SEAMS 2010 electronically using SEAMS 2010
electronic submission web site which is powered by CyberChairPROv7.
