Call For Papers - CFP

6th International Symposium on Software Engineering for

Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS 2011)

(Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE TCSE)

Waikiki, Honolulu, USA

23-24 May 2011

THEME

An increasingly important requirement for a software-based system is

the ability to self-manage by adapting itself at run time to handle

changing user needs, system intrusions or faults, a changing

operational environment, and resource variability. Such a system must

configure and reconfigure itself, augment its functionality,

continually optimize itself, protect itself, and recover itself, while

keeping its complexity hidden from the user.

The topic of self-adaptive and self-managing systems has been studied

in a large number of specific areas, including software architectures,

fault-tolerant computing, robotics, control systems, programming

languages, and biologically-inspired computing.

The objective of this symposium is to bring together researchers and

practitioners from many of these diverse areas to engage in

stimulating dialogue regarding the fundamental principles, state of

the art, and critical challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing

systems. Specifically, we intend to focus on the software engineering

aspects, including the methods, architectures, algorithms, techniques,

and tools that can be used to support dynamic adaptive behavior that

includes self-adaptive, self-managing, self-healing, self-optimizing,

and self-configuring, and autonomic software.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on

all topics related to this important area. These include, but are not

limited to:

- formal notations for modeling and analyzing software self-adaptation

- programming language support for self-adaptation

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

code, etc.)

- design and architectural support for the self-adaptation of software

- algorithms for software self-adaptation

- integration mechanisms for self-adaptive systems

- evaluation and assurance for self-* systems (e.g., run-time

verification)

- modeling and analysis of adaptive systems (e.g., run-time models,

cost-benefit analysis, architectural styles and patterns,

requirements)

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

systems

- support for run-time monitoring (for requirements, design,

performance, etc.)

- model problems and exemplars

The following application areas are of particular interest:

- mobile computing

- dependable computing

- autonomous robotics

- adaptable user interfaces

- service-oriented systems

- autonomic computing

PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS

We are soliciting three types of papers: research papers and

experience reports (up to 10 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings Format) and

position papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages, ACM SIG Proceedings

Format). Research papers should clearly describe the technical

contribution and how the work has been validated. Experience reports

should describe how an existing technique has been applied to

real-world examples, including lessons learned from the

experience. New idea papers provide an opportunity to describe novel

and promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully

validated. All submitted 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 symposium proceedings that will be published as ACM

conference proceedings.
