EASS 2007 – Call for Papers

Fourth International Workshop on Engineering Autonomic Software Systems Toronto, Canada, 22nd October 2007 To be held in conjunction with CASCON 2007: The 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering http://WatManager.UWaterloo.Ca/EASS2007

Understanding software engineering issues for autonomic computing systems is critical for the software and information technology sectors, which are continually challenged to reduce the complexity of their systems. An autonomic system knows itself as well as its boundaries and its environment, configures and reconfigures itself, continually optimizes itself, recovers or heals from malfunction, protects itself, and functions in a heterogeneous world, while keeping its complexity hidden from the user.

While there are several workshops that deal with autonomic computing systems, there are few workshops that focus on the whole life cycle; i.e., how do we design, build, deploy, operate and evolve such software systems so that they can meet given, and evolving, requirements for particular classes of users and/or applications. Most existing systems cannot be re-designed and re-developed from scratch to incorporate autonomic capabilities. Rather self-management capabilities have to be added gradually and incrementally, one aspect at a time. With the proliferation of autonomic applications, users will impose ever more demands with respect to functional and non-functional requirements for autonomicity.

The goal of this workshop is to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and discuss preliminary results among researchers and practitioners who investigate concepts, methodologies, and tools to design and evolve autonomic software.

EASS invites submissions on following topics (but not limited to): Requirements, Design, Architecture, Implementation and Evolution of Autonomic Systems Engineering Self-Configuration, Self-Optimization and Self-Healing. Methods, Methodologies and technologies for achieving Self-Management Applications and Case Studies

SUBMISSION DETAILS Submit papers by e-mail to pasward@watmanager.uwaterloo.ca by 1st July 2007. Papers should be a maximum of 5 pages (including figures and references) in CASCON camera-ready style (http://witanweb.ca/cascon2007/casconFAQ.jsp#document_templates) Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format.

All submissions will undergo a thorough review process and will be judged on quality, originality, clarity and topical content. Submitted papers should not have been previously published, in part or in full, or be under consideration of another conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published in the CASCON 2007 conference proceedings, and will become part of the ACM digital library.

DATES Submission of full papers: 1 July 2007 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2007 Camera Ready Papers: 29 July 2007 Workshop date: 22nd October 2007
