Topics of Interest We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related to self-adaptive and self-managing systems. These include, but are not limited to:
requirements elicitation techniques for self-adaptation formal notations for modeling and analyzing self-adaptation programming language support for self-adaptation properties of self-adaptive systems reuse support for self-adaptive systems (e.g., patterns, designs, code) design and architectural support for self-adaptation feedback control for self-adaptive systems algorithms for self-adaptation integration mechanisms for self-adaptive systems self-repairing programs automated patch generation evaluation and assurance for self-* systems verification and validation of self-adaptive and self-managing software frameworks for analyzing self-adaptive and self-managing software testing of self-adaptive and self-managing systems decision-making strategies for self-adaptive and self-organizing systems user-trust of self-adaptive and self-managing systems model problems and exemplars The following application areas are of particular interest: mobile applications, cloud computing, resource provisioning and optimization, autonomic computing, feedback control of computing systems, problem determination including logging, analysis and diagnostics, smart user interfaces, service-oriented systems, dependable computing, autonomous robotics. Paper Submission Details We are soliciting two types of papers: long papers (up to 10 pages) and position papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages). Long papers should either clearly describe the technical contribution and how the work has been validated, or describe how an existing technique has been applied to real-world examples. New idea papers provide an opportunity to describe novel and promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully validated. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. The accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published as ACM and IEEE digital libraries.
