CFP: 1St AWARENESS Workshop on Challenges in Achieving Self-Awareness in
Autonomous Systems
To be held at: Fifth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and
Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2011) Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA – 7th
October 2011
As technology continues to rapidly advance, the management of systems
becomes increasingly more difficult: systems are likely to be composed
of heterogeneous devices, the topology of the system can dynamically
change to device mobility; components of the system are probably
programmed with different models, and emergent behaviours can occur, not
pre-programmed into the system. On top of this, users of systems expect
24/7 reliability, high levels of security, and privacy of their data.
The scale of the challenge imposed by the necessity to manage these
systems is such that control can no longer be devolved to a human.
Systems must be able to manage themselves – this implies that they
must therefore be self-aware. However, enabling self- awareness in a
system raises many challenges, which will require a multi- disciplinary
approach to overcome them. This workshop aims to bring together
researchers from a range of disciplines to articulate the main
challenges and propose methods of addressing them. The workshop solicits
both conceptual papers which outline challenges and suggest novel
approaches to addressing them, and technical papers describing results
or methodologies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• Methods for enabling adaptation across multiple timescales
• Approaches to balancing tradeoffs between global and local
concerns of the system
• Consideration of how systems can predict future events and adapt
accordingly
• Methods which enable performance be optimised across the system
• Techniques for enabling resource usage (i.e energy, bandwidth) to
be optimised
• Consideration of novel architectures for creating systems composed
of heterogeneous nodes which may be programmed in different ways
• New methods software engineering and abstraction for coping with
diverse systems
