Call For Papers - CFP

Solutions to complement software systems with self-managing and self-adaptive capabilities have been proposed by researchers in many different areas, including software architecture, fault-tolerant computing, robotics, control systems, programming languages, run-time program analysis and verification, and biologically-inspired computing. This symposium focuses on the software engineering aspects, including the methods, techniques, and tools that can be used to support self-adaptive, self-managing, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-configuring software systems.

The objective is to bring together researchers and practitioners from many of these diverse areas to investigate, discuss, and examine thoroughly the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing systems.

Topics of Interest

SEAMS is interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related to self-adaptive and self-managing systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:

requirements elicitation techniques for self-adaptation

formal notations for modeling and analyzing self-adaptation

programming language support for self-adaptation

properties of self-adaptive systems

reuse support for self-adaptive systems (e.g., patterns, designs, code)

design and architectural support for self-adaptation

feedback control for self-adaptive systems

algorithms for self-adaptation

integration mechanisms for self-adaptive systems

self-repairing programs

automated patch generation

evaluation and assurance for self-* systems

verification and validation of self-adaptive and self-managing software

frameworks for analyzing self-adaptive and self-managing software

testing of self-adaptive and self-managing systems

decision-making strategies for self-adaptive and self-organizing systems

methods for engineering user-trust of self-adaptive and self-managing systems

model problems and exemplars

The following application areas are of particular interest:

mobile applications

cloud computing

resource provisioning and optimization

autonomic computing

feedback control of computing systems

problem determination including logging, analysis and diagnostics

smart user interfaces

service-oriented systems

dependable computing

autonomous robotics

Paper submission details

We solicit two types of papers: long papers (up to 10 pages) and position papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages). Long papers should either clearly describe the technical contribution and how the work has been validated, or describe how an existing technique has been applied to real-world examples. New idea papers provide an opportunity to describe novel and promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully validated. All papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. The accepted papers will appear in the SEAMS 2012 proceedings published in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries.
