HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONFERENCE:

*ORGANIZED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ARES 2010 CONFERENCE

*IEEE CS PROCEEDINGS

*OUTSTANDING PROGRAM COMMITTEE

*SPECIAL ISSUES ARRANGED FOR THE CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS

***Aim***

The aim of the conference is to deliver a platform of scientific

interaction between the three interwoven

challenging areas of research and development of future ICT-enabled

applications:

* Software Intensive Systems

* Complex systems

* Intelligent Systems

***Scope***

Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different

kinds of systems with different characteristics are emerging and

they are integrating in heterogeneous networks. For these reasons,

there are many interconnection problems which may occur at different

levels in the hardware and software design of communicating entities

and communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage

an increasing usage demand, provide support for a significant number

of services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization of

network resources. Therefore, architectures and algorithms in these

networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus on new

models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the network

to perform adaptive behaviors. Many new computing technologies have

emerged as new paradigms for solving complex problems by enabling

large-scale aggregation and sharing of computational, data and other

geographically distributed resources. Rapid advances are being reported

by many researchers and forums as regards understanding numerous

issues in such paradigms, from theoretic to application aspects.

Moreover, the continuous development of Internet and the construction

of new infrastructures are making possible the development of large

scale applications from many fields of science and engineering.

To deal with complexity, we should construct physically instantiated

systems that can perceive, understand, and interact with their

environment, but also evolve in order to achieve human-like performance

in activities requiring context-specific knowledge. This is far beyond

the current state of the art and will remain so for many years to come.

Therefore, many research efforts are required to make headway towards

this vision. The strategic challenges are motivated by recent research

in the field of intelligent systems, robotics, neuroscience, artificial

intelligence, and cognitive sciences. In recent years, a large community

of researchers has begun to realize the importance of brain-body

interaction for understanding intelligence and its central role in

a wide range of processes including perception, object manipulation,

movement, and high-level cognition.

The research challenges include theoretical frameworks based on the

notions of embodiment, the dynamical systems metaphor, complete agents

rather than individual components, self-reconfiguration and self-repair,

morphology and development. Progress in the theoretical underpinnings

of embodied intelligence will have strong technological implications

in areas including robotics, actuator technology, materials, self-

assembling systems. Research in intelligent and cognitive systems is

an interdisciplinary field requiring the cooperation of researchers

from artificial intelligence, neuroscience (including cognitive and

computational), psychology (cognitive and developmental), linguistics,

developmental biology, robotics (and engineering in general),

biomechanics, and dynamical systems. Software has become a central

part of a rapidly growing range of applications, products and services

from all sectors of economic activity. Systems in which software

interacts with other software, systems, devices, sensors and with

people are called software-intensive systems. Examples include large-

scale heterogeneous systems, embedded systems for automotive and

avionics applications, telecommunications, wireless ad hoc systems,

business applications with an emphasis on web services. Our daily

activities increasingly depend on complex software-intensive systems

that are becoming ever more distributed, heterogeneous, decentralized

and inter-dependent, and that are operating more and more in dynamic

and often unpredictable environments.

There exist different kinds of complexity in the development of

software. Software systems grew larger, the focus shifted from the

complexity of developing algorithms to the complexity structuring

large systems, and then to the additional complexities in building

distributed, concurrent systems. In the next ten to fifteen years

we will have to face another level of complexity arising from the

fact that systems have to operate in large, open and non-deterministic

environments: the complexity of knowledge, interaction and adaptation.

Instead of developing computer-oriented systems where people have to

adapt to the computer we have to develop human-oriented systems into

which computers integrate seamlessly. Also, the requirements for

software quality will dramatically increase. But our current methods

are not sufficient to deal with adaptive software in a dynamic

environment, especially not for large systems with complex interactions.

We need to develop practically useful and theoretically well founded

principles, methods and tools for engineering future software-intensive

systems. All the complex systems depend on software that controls

the behavior of individual components and the interaction between

components, and on software which interacts with other software,

systems, devices, sensors and with people. In other words: they

depend on software-intensive systems.
