Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue addresses all facets of research in the area of self-aware computing systems and related disciplines (Autonomic Computing, SASO systems, Organic Computing, Pervasive Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, Multi-agent systems ...), including fundamental science and theory, levels and aspects, architectures for individual and collective systems, methods and algorithms for model learning, self-adaptation in individual and collective systems, transition strategies for increasing self-awareness in existing systems, open challenges and future research directions, as well as applications and case studies. In this Special Issue, particular emphasis will be given on real applications of self-aware computing principles and to the evaluation of these systems, including objectives, metrics, tools, procedure, methodologies, reference systems, and benchmarks.
Especially, authors presented papers at the Workshop on Self-Aware Computing (SeAC 2020) and the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS 2020), but also those from other conferences, are invited to submit their extended versions to this Special Issue. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Extended conference papers should cite the original contribution on the first page of the paper; authors are asked to disclose that it is a conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper. Please note that the submitted extended paper should contain at least 50% new content (e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases) and not exceed 30% copy/paste from the conference paper.
# Areas of Interest
In this special issue, we aim to cover all topics concerning self-aware computing systems and related disciplines (Autonomic Computing, SASO systems, Organic Computing, Pervasive Computing, Ubiquitous Computing, Multi-agent systems ...). We expect contributions to cover at least one of the following aspects (although this list is by no means exhaustive, leaving the call open to other related contributions):
● Fundamental science and theory of self-aware computing systems ● Levels and aspects of self-aware computing systems ● Architectures for individual and collective systems ● Measurements, quality assurance, and evaluation in self-aware systems ● Verification & validation and testing ● Tool support for evaluation and measurements, and quality assurance; ● Methods and algorithms for model learning (self-modeling) and reasoning ● Self-adaptation in individual and collective systems ● Synthesis and verification metrics and benchmarks ● Transition strategies for increasing self-awareness in existing systems ● Open challenges and future research directions ● Applications and case studies: cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, data centers, dependable computing, industrial internet / industry 4.0, internet of things, mobile computing, service-oriented systems, smart buildings, smart city, smart grid / energy management, smart factory, traffic management, autonomous robotics, and space applications.
