There is a clear need to develop systems at both the host level and the network level to actively adapt to cyber attacks and to provide greater protection for networked computation at all levels. The significance of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different areas such as networking, programming languages, computer hardware, and operating systems to gain broad insights into specific research issues related to adaptive host and network security, and to foster discussions about ongoing research, establish directions for future research and collaborations, and identify best practices for adaptive security.

Social services and utilities pervade more and more aspects of our daily lives and will conceivably become an integral part of future software systems. While it is common and important to investigate how the associated gradual convergence of social and technical systems influences individuals and society, the fact that this influence is mutual is far less explored. Networked computing infrastructures involving cloud computing, virtualization techniques, Peer-to-Peer technologies or other Internet-based applications are shaped not only by technological considerations but, increasingly, also by the social structures and processes into which they are embedded. The growing interconnectedness of users leads to highly correlated behavior and the emergence of collective phenomena which naturally retroact on the technical systems by which they are mediated. The workshop seeks to shed light on the question how the increasing pervasion of technical infrastructures with social aspects affects the engineering of reliable and scalable networked computing systems. A particular focus will be laid upon the question how the ongoing trend towards a rigorous mathematical modeling of self-organization processes in social systems (for instance in the language of complex networks, dynamical systems and random matrix theory) can influence and inspire the design of distributed algorithms, network topologies and communication protocols, resulting in what may be called socio-aware networked computing systems.

The nature of self-organizing and autonomous systems and cyper-physical entities demands that issues of trust and their trustworthiness become a primary concern. The Fourth Edition of the Workshop on Trustworthy Self-Organizing and Autonomous Systems (TSOS 2013) will provide an open stage for discussions about the different facets of trust in self-organizing and autonomous systems, how every single one of them can be fostered, and how they relate.

As technology continues to rapidly advance, the management of systems becomes increasingly more difficult: systems are likely to be composed of heterogeneous devices, the topology of the system can dynamically change to device mobility; components of the system are probably programmed with different models, and emergent behaviours can occur, not pre-programmed into the system. On top of this, users of systems expect 24/7 reliability, high levels of security, and privacy of their data. The scale of the challenge imposed by the necessity to manage these systems is such that control can no longer be devolved to a human. Systems must be able to manage themselves, delivering high-quality of service while at the same time optimising overall performance and resource usage. This poses significant challenges - systems must respond to ever changing conditions, and continuously adapt to external context (such as user requirements and behaviour). Awareness will be required across a hierarchy of levels, ranging from an individual component level to global levels of patterns of use, system performance, network conditions and available resources. The goal of the workshop is to identify key challenges involved in creating self-aware systems which are capable of autonomous management, and consider methods by which these challenges can be addressed.

Many systems, as well as organisations, are characterised by having a set of rules that drive (and limit) the interactions amongst their components. These rules may range from simple ones to complex legal systems, norms, contracts or policies, among others. Examples of this kind of systems may be technical systems such as computing grids or sensor networks, which have to share limited resources, as well as socio-technical systems, with humans involved in the functioning of the system, such as in smart grids. While in many cases these rules would be fixed, probably set by some authority, there is an increasing need of flexibility and openness. This includes changing existing rules, generating new ones, deciding who makes the decisions and when these are made, setting what happens when agents do not follow the rules, or assessing whether a set of rules fits the system's purpose, among others. The aim of the workshop is to discuss, based on high quality position or research papers, the different aspects, effects, and representations of law, norms, and justice in self-organising systems and to debate the impact of current and future technical self-organising systems on legal systems.
Thank you very much for your attention,
