> The 2015 edition of the SASO conference series will be held in 
> Cambridge, Massachusetts, and hosted by MIT in the week of September 
> 21 to September 25, 2015.
>
> The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing systems conference 
> series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the foundations of a 
> principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services 
> based on self-adaptation and self-organization. The ninth edition of 
> the SASO conference embraces the inter-disciplinarity and the 
> scientific, empirical and application dimensions of self-* systems; it 
> thus aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to 
> foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and 
> discuss innovative theories, design principles, frameworks, 
> methodologies, tools, and applications.
