  • 2nd PERADA WORKSHOP
    28 Sept. 2010 - Budapest (HU)
    Call for papers: Self Organisation in Pervasive Adaptive Systems
    The prospect of building self-organising and adapting pervasive sys-tems brings many new challenges, ranging from maintaining trust and security to enabling the formation of tribes of societal artefacts. Ad-dressing these challenges will require a unified approaches, integrat-ing competencies across a range of disciplines; the goal of this work-shop is to bring together researchers working in perhaps historically distinct fields to work together in defining goals and methods that will move towards tackling the particular problems associated with deal-ing with self-organising and adaptive pervasive computing environ-ments.
    The workshop particularly addresses adaptation strategies (bio-inspired, stochastic or otherwise) which will operate at different time scales and speeds, from short term adaptation to long-term evo-lution, and will imply changes in software, hardware, protocols and/or architecture at different levels of granularity and abstraction. This 2nd Perada Workshop was held in conjunction with: SASA (see below)
