http://www.ist-selfman.org/wiki/index.php/SelfmanWorkshop2009

Important dates:

* Submission of position paper: July 10, 2009 (required for attendance)

* Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2009

* Final copy: August 19, 2009

* Workshop: September 15, 2009

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and

practitioners

interested in the construction of self-managing distributed systems.

It will place the emphasis on software engineering (especially,

software architecture

and component-based software engineering) aspects of this

construction, including

models, architectures, languages, control techniques, middleware and

tools

that can be used to support the modular and principled building of

self-* distributed systems.

Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

- Component models and architectures for self-management.

- Generative and reflective (including aspect-oriented) techniques for

self-management.

- Languages for self-managing systems, including formal specification,

architecture description, programming, and domain specific languages.

- Control techniques for self-managing systems, including control-

theoretic and decision-theoretic techniques.

- Coordination and decentralized architectures of control.

- Analysis and verification techniques for self-managing systems.

- Middleware and tool support for self-managing distributed systems.

- Algorithms for distributed self-management, including event

detection, distributed control, etc.

Application areas of interest to the workshop include (but are not

limited to):

Web services, social networks, cloud computing, P2P systems and

applications, pervasive computing.

To attend the workshop, you must submit a position paper of no more

than 5 pages to the workshop organizers at the following address

(preferably by email in pdf format):

Jean-Bernard Stefani

INRIA Grenoble-Rh?ne-Alpes

655 Avenue de l'Europe - Montbonnot

38334 St Ismier Cedex

France

Email: jean-bernard.stefaniinria.fr

Each position paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.

The review will focus not only on the paper's quality but also on

its novelty and ability to engender fruitful discussions. All

authors of accepted position papers are invited to attend the

workshop. Note that workshop attendees must register both to the

conference and the workshop. Workshop PC members are also

encouraged to submit position papers and these papers will be

reviewed to the same standards as outside submissions.

This workshop is sponsored by the European project Selfman <http://www.ist-selfman.org/
