13th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing
Systems (SASO 2019)
Call for Papers
Part of FAS* - Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems
Co-located with the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic
Computing (ICAC 2019)

*** Aims and Motivation ***
The aim SASO 2019 is to provide a forum for the presentation and
discussion of research on the foundations of engineered systems
that self-adapt and self-organize. The complexity of current and
emerging networks, software, and services can be characterized by
issues such as scale, heterogeneity, openness, and dynamics in the
environment. These issues have led the software engineering,
distributed systems, and management communities to look for
inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control
theory, artificial intelligence, chemistry, psychology, sociology,
and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such
computing systems in a principled way. In this endeavor,
self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two
promising, interrelated approaches. They form the basis of many
other so-called self-* properties, such as self-configuration,
self-healing, or self-optimization. SASO 2019 aims to be an
interdisciplinary meeting, where contributions from participants
with different backgrounds lead to the fostering of a
cross-pollination of ideas, and where innovative theories,
frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications can emerge.
*** Scope ***
We invite novel contributions related to the fundamental
understanding of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems, along
with principles and practices of their engineering and
application. The topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
* Self-* systems theory: nature-inspired and socially-inspired
paradigms and heuristics; theoretical frameworks and models;
formal languages; control theory; requirement and goal expression
techniques; uncertainty as a 1st class entity
* Self-* system properties: robustness; resilience; stability;
anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent
behavior; computational awareness and self-awareness;
* Self-* systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and algorithms;
design patterns; programming languages; architectures; testing and
validation methodologies; runtime models; techniques for
assurance; platforms and toolkits; multi-agent systems;
* Principles and practices of self-organization: self-governance;
security; change management; distributed consensus, knowledge
management, and the general use of rules, norms and policies
* Mechanisms for self-adaptation: inter-operation of self-*
mechanisms; evolution, logic, and learning; addressing large-scale
and decentralized systems;
* Socio-technical self-* systems: human and social factors;
visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness;
* Data-driven approaches to self-* systems: data mining; machine
learning; data science and other statistical techniques to
analyze, understand, and manage the behavior of complex systems;
* Self-adaptive and self-organizing hardware: self-* materials;
self-construction; reconfigurable hardware;
* Self-* systems education: experience reports; curricula;
innovative course concepts;
* Applications and experiences with self-* systems: smart grid,
smart cities, smart homes, manufacturing and industrial plants,
cyber-physical systems; autonomous vehicles and robotics; traffic
management; self-adaptive cybersecurity; Internet of Things;
fog/edge computing.
*** Submission Instructions ***
Submissions can have up to 10 pages formatted according to the
standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.
Please submit your papers electronically in PDF format using the
SASO 2019 conference management system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2019.
The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
and made available as a part of the IEEE Digital Library. Note
that a separate Call for Poster and Demo Submissions will also be
issued. As per the standard IEEE policies, all submissions should
be original, i.e., they should not have been previously published
in any conference proceedings, book, or journal and should not
currently be under review for another archival conference. We
would like to also highlight IEEE’s policies regarding plagiarism
and self-plagiarism:
(
https://www.ieee.org/publications/rights/plagiarism/id-plagiarism.html).
Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be
encouraged to participate in the Demo or Poster Sessions.
*** Important Dates ***
* Paper submission: March 10, 2019 (firm)
* Notification: April 10, 2019
* Camera ready version: April 20, 2019
* Conference: June 16-20, 2019
*** Review Criteria ***
Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary
research context described in this call, motivated by problems
from current practice or applied research. Both theoretical and
empirical contributions should be highlighted, substantiated by
formal analysis, simulation, experimental evaluations, or
comparative studies, etc. Appropriate references must be made to
related work. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of the SASO
conference, we encourage papers to be intelligible and relevant to
researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field.
Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing
applications. Application papers should provide an indication of
the real-world relevance of the problem that is solved, including
a description of the domain, and an evaluation of performance,
usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience
papers are also welcome, especially if they highlight insights
into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-*
systems that would be of benefit to practitioners and the SASO
community. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and
evaluated based on the quality of their technical contribution,
originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding
of the state of the art, and overall quality.
