eCAS2018 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd Workshop on Engineering Collective Adaptive Systems eCAS 2018 September 7th, 2018 Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) & University of Trento - Trento, Italy Web site: ecas2018.apice.unibo.it http://ecas2018.apice.unibo.it

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIMS AND MOTIVATION Modern software systems are becoming more and more collective, composed of many distributed and heterogeneous entities. These systems operate under continuous perturbations making manual adjustments infeasible. For a collective system to be resilient, its adaptation must also be collective, in the sense that multiple entities must adapt in a way that addresses critical runtime conditions while preserving the benefits of the collaborative interdependencies. Decision-making in such systems is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the entities may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. In such systems, a new approach for adaptation is needed to allow (i) multiple entities to collectively adapt with (ii) negotiations to decide which collective changes are best. Collective adaptation also raises a second important challenge: which parts of the system (things, services, people) should be engaged in an adaptation? This is not trivial, since multiple solutions to the same problem may be generated at different levels. The challenge here is to understand these levels and create mechanisms to decide the right scope for an adaptation for a given problem. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used in order to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that we can better design, build, and analyze them, as well as case studies and applications showing such approaches in action. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcomed.

Suggested Topics (but not limited to):

Novel theories relating to operating principles of CAS     Novel design principles for building CAS systems     Insights into the short and long-term adaptation of CAS systems     Insights into emergent properties of CAS     Insights into general properties of large scale, distributed CAS     Decision-making approaches in CAS     Methodologies for studying, analyzing, and building CAS     Frameworks for analyzing or developing CAS case studies     Languages, platforms, APIs and other tools for CAS     Scenarios, case studies, and experience reports of CAS in different contexts (e.g., Smart Mobility, Smart Energy/Smart Grid, Smart Buildings, traffic management, emergency response, etc.)

SCOPE The workshop is expected to attract participants from many disciplines, including Autonomic Computing, Biology, Game Theory, Evolutionary Computing, Network Science, Self-Organizing Systems, Pervasive Computing, and to be of interest to anyone working with the domain of large-scale self-adaptive systems. In addition, the European Commission has funded seven scientific projects and a Coordination Action in this area, with projects starting at the beginning of 2013. Thus, the workshop provides a natural base for the projects to meet and share ideas, even if it is in no way limited to this audience, and is likely to have broad appeal to a wide range of researchers. Potential audience members might work in application areas relating to large-scale distributed systems, or may come from any of the many disciplines that can provide insights into the operation and design of such systems.
