Workshop Goals
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers
and practitioners from many of these diverse areas to discuss the fundamental
principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing
systems. Specifically, we intend to focus on the software engineering aspects,
including the concepts, methods, architecture, feedback control, and tools that
can be used to support dynamical adaptive and self-managing behaviour. Moreover,
in this fourth workshop, we will be looking at the results that have been
achieved in self-adaptability in recent years and focus on implementations
as well as experimental systems by including a demonstration session.
The following application areas are of particular interest: autonomic computing; problem determination including logging, analysis and diagnostics; mobile computing; dependable computing; autonomous robotics; adaptable user interfaces; service-oriented applications.
