Third Workshop on Autonomic and Self-Adaptive Systems, Valencia, Spain
7 September 2010 - 7 September 2010
Spain
The Third Workshop on Autonomic and Self-Adaptive Systems will be held in Valencia, Spain on 7 September 2010.
This workshop will gather software engineering researchers from fields related to the development of self-adaptive systems in order to identify research challenges, and discuss models, techniques, tools and methodologies for the development of complex systems able to dynamically adapt their behaviour.
Traditionally, handling changing requirements, faults, or upgrades on different kinds of software-based systems have been tasks performed as a maintenance activity conducted by human operators at the time of design or development. However, factors such as uncertainty in the operational environment, resource variability, or the critical nature of some systems have lead to the development of systems able to replan and reconfigure their structure and behaviour at run time in order to improve their operation without any human intervention.
These kinds of systems, which typically operate using an explicit representation of their structure and goals, have been studied within different research areas of software engineering and described with different names.
Another promising approach to systems able to dynamically adapt themselves is the self-organising system. This type of system is typically composed of a large number of constituent components which operate according to a set of local rules, rather than with an explicit representation of its structure and goals. In this case, the emergent behaviour derived from component interaction stabilises the system in the event of faults or changes in the environment which need to be handled.For further information, please visit:
