Call for Papers
Information and communication technology (ICT) pervades every
aspect of our daily lives. This inclusion changes our communities
and all of our human interactions. It also presents a significant
set of challenges in correctly designing and integrating our
resulting technical systems. For instance, the embedding of ICT
functionality in more and more devices (such as household
appliances or thermostats) leads to novel interconnections and a
changing structure of the overall system. Not only technical
systems are increasingly coupled, a variety of previously isolated
natural and human systems have consolidated into a kind of overall
system of systems - an interwoven system structure.
This change of structure is fundamental and affects the whole
production cycle of technical systems--standard system integration
and testing is not feasible any more. The increasingly complex
challenges of developing the right type of modelling, analysis,
and infrastructure for designing and maintaining ICT
infrastructures has continued to motivate the self-organising,
autonomic and organic
computing systems community.
In this workshop, we intend to study novel approaches to system of
system integration and testing by applying self-* principles;
specifically we want approaches that allow for a continual process
of
self-integration among components and systems that is
self-improving and evolving over time towards an optimised and
stable solution.
Although research in self-organising systems -- such as the
Organic Computing (OC) and Autonomic Computing (AC) initiatives --
has seen an exciting decade of development, in which there has
been
considerable success in building individual systems, OC/AC is
faced with the difficult challenge of integrating multiple
self-organising systems, and integrating self-organising systems
with traditionally
engineered ones as well as naturally occurring human
organisations. Meanwhile, although there has been important
development in system of systems methodologies (e.g.,
Service-oriented
Architectures, clouds technology etc.), many of these developments
lack scalable methods for rapidly proving that new configurations
of components/subsystems are correctly used or their changes
verified or that these frameworks have pulled together the best
possible context-sensitive configuration of resources for a user
or another system.
The SISSY workshop continues the successful predecessors held at
IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising
Systems (SASO14) 2014 in London, UK, IEEE/ACM International
Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC15) 2015 in Grenobles,
France, at
IEEE/ACM International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC16)
2016 in Würzburg, Germany, at the IEEE International Conference
on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Systems (SASO17) 2017 in
Tucson, AZ, US, and at the IEEE Foundations and Applications of
Self* Systems Conference (FAS*18) 2018 in Trento, Italy. The
workshop intends to focus on the important work of applying self-X
principles to the integration of "Interwoven Systems" (where an
"Interwoven System" is a system cutting across several technical
domains, combining traditionally engineered systems, systems
making use of self-X properties and methods, and human systems).
The goal of the workshop is to identify key challenges involved in
creating self-integrating systems and consider methods to
achieve continuous self-improvement for this integration process.
The workshop specifically targets an interdisciplinary community
of researchers (i.e. from systems engineering, complex adaptive
systems, socio-technical systems, and the OC/AC domains) in the
hope that collective expertise from a range of domains can be
leveraged to drive forward research in the area.

Paper Submission
Papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not
currently under review. Papers will be judged on originality,
significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the
broader community. Authors are strongly encouraged to report on
experiences, measurements, user studies, and provide an
appropriate quantitative evaluation if at all possible.
We ask for two types of papers:
a) 2 to 4 page position papers as a basis for discussion.
b) 8 page full papers
The proceedings of all SASO / FAS* workshops will be published by
IEEE Computer Society Press and made available as a part of the
IEEE digital library. In addition, papers will be part of the
conference proceedings with ISBN number. Indexing by IEEE explore
and DBPL is expected.
Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE Computer
Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically
in pdf format. Please submit your papers using the conference
management system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sissy19
One of the authors has to register for the conference and
workshop.
