==================================================================

The ASHEs 2010 Workshop will be held in conjunction with The International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2010) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/ and The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2010) http://www.ares-conference.eu/

-------- Scope -------- The increasing complexity of systems and applications that span heterogeneous environments have brought to the fore the issue of the seamless access to the resources that the Internet and other foundational systems are making available. Resources can be generated or mediated by users, content, applications, systems software, middleware, networks and distributed systems. They identify different contexts of interaction where heterogeneity may occur. The dynamic and non-deterministic nature of these environments requires the adoption of decentralised models, policies and mechanisms in order to address issues of complexity, interoperability and integration. In this context the ability of systems to reconcile conflicting requirements and negotiate appropriate behaviour to suit environmental conditions delineates a wide spectrum of adaptivity. From basic configurability to autonomic behaviour adaptivity is inherently a systemic issue.

In hypermedia systems the personalization of content through the generation and interposition of implicit and explicit user profiles is underpinned by adaptive principles. The mediation of scalability and the marshalling of resources is another area where heterogeneity is resolved. Appropriate modes of aggregation such as Web services composition are increasingly supported by adaptive mechanisms and optimised by schemes such asby load balancing. Reflective architectures at middleware level have been proposed as effective means for extending adaptively the span of systems and applications. In wireless networks the handover operations are increasingly dependent on adaptive methods, while the emergence of self-awareness in networks is enhancing their capacity for self-management.

The demand for dependable systems and especially the provision of appropriate levels of quality of service (QoS) are strong incentives for the application of transparent adaptive techniques. Adaptivity is finding its full expression in new domains such as smart environments that pervasive and ubiquitous computing have ushered in. Context awareness in particular is reinforcing the adaptive capacity of systems as they unfold across environmental boundaries.

The aim of the special issue is to offer a perspective on adaptivity by gathering original papers with a focus on the design, implementation, deployment and analysis of adaptive systems. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Personalization, self-configuration - Hypermedia systems - Virtualisation and Behaviour optimisation - Architectural models and Frameworks - Knowledge management, workflow management - Resource brokering and Service provision - Context-awareness, Location-based systems, Smart environments - Model-driven engineering, Web engineering - Middleware management, - Network configuration and awareness - Autonomic and dependable systems - Agent-based systems - Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems - Web and mobile applications - e-business, e-government and e-learning applications - Case studies and experiences of adaptive systems
