==================== Call for Papers ========================
The First International Workshop on Adaptive Systems in Heterogeneous Environments (ASHEs'08)
Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain
March 4-7, 2008
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~rza/ashes08/
The Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. ===============================================================
The ASHEs'08 workshop will be held in conjunction with The International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2008) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/ and The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2008) http://www.ares-conference.eu/conf/
----- Scope ----- Attempts at harnessing the variety of resources mediated by the Internet are being hampered by the increasing complexity of applications, the incompatibility of systems and the heterogeneity of their environments. These environments are highly dynamic and non-deterministic where a massive amount of data is processed unevenly. These characteristics preclude the indiscriminate application of centralised modes of coordination and resource management. As a result decentralised policies, models and mechanisms are being devised and deployed vigorously as a way of dealing with complexity and heterogeneity. In this context adaptivity emerges as an important facet of autonomous behaviour. The prominence of adaptivity as a fundamental behavioural property is manifest in foundational systems such as the Web and the GRID. Adaptivity is interwoven directly into the fabric of systems instead of being grafted onto them as an afterthought.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of issues related to adaptivity and its role in the provision of innovative solutions in heterogeneous environments.
------ Topics ------ The workshop seeks original contributions on adaptivity and adaptive systems related but not limited to the following: - Data models - Architectural frameworks - Model-driven architectures - Hypermedia - Personalization - Self configuration - Context-awareness - Web and mobile applications - Location-based systems - Autonomic and dependable systems - Agent-based systems - Service provision - Resource brokering - Query processing - Knowledge management - Workflow management - Smart environments - Adaptivity management - Case studies and experiences of adaptive systems
