8th Workshop on Managed Complexity
https://wwwswt.informatik.uni-rostock.de/ManComp2023/
1-day workshop
September 15, 2023
University of Camerino - Ascoli Piceno, Italy
in conjunction with BIR 2023
https://bir2023.unicam.it/
Managing complexity has a long tradition for algorithms and
general problems. However, it is an important issue also in
Business Informatics domain. Here the complexity of different
systems and systems of systems has to be managed. While complexity
usually associates with large or very large scale systems still
managing complexity is important even for systems with small sizes
operating in complex environment. Nowadays informatics requires
handling complexity at different levels and configurations of
social, physical, enterprise, software, and hardware systems. The
workshop is planned to focus on approaches and methods for
managing complexity in the domain of applied informatics that may
concern interplay of systems and ecosystems of various sizes and
substances. Its purpose is to share and transfer knowledge on
complexity identification, representation, controlling and
reduction as well as to exploit possible synergies in development
of innovative complexity handling strategies, approaches, and
methods.
The ultimate goal of the workshop is bringing together researchers
and practitioners to discuss theoretical approaches or real-life
case studies featuring success and/or failure stories in managing
complexity. It welcomes seeking and discussing answers to such
complexity management questions as:
* How is complexity divided?
* What kinds of models are to be specified?
* What is the role of system architecture in complexity handling?
* How is the human recognized in the loop?
* What kind of rules are to be applied?
* In which way do patterns help?
* Which notation or ontologies are useful in complexity handling?
* How is knowledge reused?
* How is knowledge propagated?
* and many others.
Based on these discussions, we expect to deepen the understanding
of strategies, approaches, and methods in managing complexity in
enterprise and software engineering. A cross-pollination of
experiences in both domains is assumed.
Three types of submissions are welcomed: position papers, research
papers, and reports. All types should treat a topic from the
workshop themes.
* Position papers (2-6 pages): Such papers should state the
position of the authors regarding any topic of the workshop.
* Reports (6-8 pages) Experience reports and case studies are
expected to be submitted in this category.
* Research papers (10-12 pages): Research papers should describe
innovative approaches.
