==* CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION *==
The Second International
"Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Applications"
(ALPACA 2023)
March 13/17, 2023 in Atlanta, USA
Details on the event are available at:

==* Colloquium Theme *==
The Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Applications (ALPACA)
provides
a forum to
foster interaction and collaboration between the research
communities of
adaptive, learning and
pervasive computing systems, raising the awareness about related
research
efforts and synergies
that can be exploited to advance the state of the art. ALPACA
takes place in
conjunction with the
IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications
(PerCom).
Adaptive PerCom systems are inherently distributed and composed of
possible
hundreds of instances
that might act autonomously. New approaches are required to
achieve global
goals while enabling
local autonomicity. Relevant work can be found in different areas
including
autonomic computing,
self-adaptive and self-organizing software and systems,
multi-agent systems,
organic computing,
as well as context- and situation-aware systems.
We especially welcome researchers working in those research
streams. This
workshop covers all
topics concerning adaptive PerCom systems including:
- Fundamental science and theory of adaptive, learning PerCom
systems;
- Levels and aspects of adaptive, learning PerCom systems;
- Architectures for individual and collective systems;
- Measurements, quality assurance, and evaluation in adaptive,
learning
PerCom systems;
- Verification \& validation and testing;
- Artefacts, test beds, simulations, demonstrators of adaptive,
learning
PerCom systems;
- Tool support for evaluation and measurements;
- Open challenges and future research directions;
- Applications and case studies: cloud computing, cyber-physical
systems,
industrial internet / industry 4.0,
internet of things, mobile computing, smart buildings, smart city,
smart
grid / energy management, smart factory,
traffic management, robotics, and space applications;
- Cross-domain contributions bringing Organic/Autonomic or
self-learning
technology to pervasive systems.
==* Important Dates *==
- Paper submission deadline: November 14, 2022
- Author notification: January 5, 2023
- Workshop Day: March 13 or 17, 2023 (hybrid event)
==* Submission *==
There are two ways to participate: i) present a talk without a
respective
paper published in the
workshop proceedings, ii) submit a paper to be presented at the
workshop and
published in
the workshop proceedings:
- Full workshop paper: limited to 6 pages (double column, IEEE
format,
including references)
- Short workshop paper: limited to 4 pages (double column, IEEE
format,
including references)
- Talk extended abstract: limited to 2 pages (double column, IEEE
format)
Contributions in the 1st and 2nd category (technical papers) must
represent
original and unpublished
work that is not currently under review. Full papers may report on
original
research, lessons learned
from realizing an approach, or experiences on transferring a
research
prototype into practice.
Short papers may report on work-in-progress or present a vision or
(controversial) position.
Contributions in the 3rd category may present ideas in their very
first
stage or a (controversial)
opinion. At least one author of each accepted submission is
required to
attend the workshop.
Technical papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
and made
available as a part
of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Papers need to be submitted electronically via EDAS:
