The Second International Workshop on Adaptive Systems in Heterogeneous Environments (ASHEs 2009)

[new deadline: October 25,2008]

The Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT),Fukuoka, Japan March 16-19, 2009

http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~rza/ashes09/

The Proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer and System Sciences (JCSS), Elsevier. [Impact factor 2007: 1.185] ===============================================================

The ASHEs 2009 workshop will be held in conjunction with The International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS 2009) http://www.cisis-conference.eu/ and The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2009) http://www.ares-conference.eu/

----- Scope ----- Adaptivity spans a range of behavioural complexity and sophistication where basic configurability and full autonomic behaviour appear as extreme points in a wide spectrum. It can be defined as the ability of a system to reconcile its requirements with the elements it is interacting with,by negotiating and adopting an optimal behaviour within and across different and potentially heterogeneous environments. Implicitly sustained by a variety of models these elements may be users, content, applications, systems, middleware, networks or operating systems. They define a hierarchy of levels where heterogeneity can occur. One specific instance where this heterogeneity is resolved is in the personalization of interactive systems through the generation and mediation of implict and explict user profiles and ontologies. At a lower level, in the middleware reflective architectures have been considered as an effective means of offering flexibility in QoS provision, while the endowment of a network with self-awareness enhances its capacity for self-management. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of issues related to adaptivity and its role in the provision of innovative solutions in heterogeneous environments.

------ Topics ------ The workshop seeks original contributions on adaptivity and adaptive systems related but not limited to the following:

- Personalization - Ontologies for personalization - Self configuration - Behaviour optimisation - Negotiation - Emergence - Reflective architectures - Architectural Frameworks - Knowledge management - Workflow management - Resource brokering - Service provision - Models - QoS provision - Context-awareness - Model-driven engineering - Web engineering - Middleware management - Agent-based systems - Location-based systems - Smart environments - Hypermedia systems - Web and mobile applications - Autonomic and dependable systems - Network configuration and awareness - Grid and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems - Case studies and experiences of adaptive systems
