WORKSHOP SCOPE

Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and

enhancing the services offered to and provided by mobile systems

at any time and in any place. This new scenario asks for effec-

tive solutions to design, develop, and maintain novel ubiquitous

services notwithstanding abrupt changes and challenging depend-

ability requirements imposed by the highly heterogeneous and er-

ror-prone mobile provisioning environment. However, currently de-

ployed mobile systems are often too inflexible and unable to

rapidly adapt to change and this in turn leads to situations

where quality-of-service and quality-of-experience are strongly

and negatively affected.

To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi-

ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting

methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. As an ex-

ample, Resilience, or "the ability of the network to provide and

maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various

faults and challenges to normal operation", is being recognized

more and more as a fundamental attribute for truly effective mo-

bile and ubiquitous services of today and tomorrow. However, it

is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal-

lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emerg-

ing mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless

control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance.

The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground

all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively

discussion in order: to devise conceptual models and paradigms

for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and

develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to provide analytical and sim-

ulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and

to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable,

maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to

support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mo-

bile ubiquitous services.

Building on the success of the last two editions, ADAMUS 2009

aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of dis-

cussion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adap-

tive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. In particular, the

focus of this Workshop edition will be on service continuity de-

fined as the ability to grant continuous distribution of mobile

ubiquitous service despite the occurrence of potentially signifi-

cant and sudden changes or faults in the infrastructure and the

surrounding environment. Researchers and practitioners are en-

couraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify

open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing

solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for

adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments.

The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to

the following:

* Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for

mobile ubiquitous systems;

* Resilience software engineering for mobile systems and services;

* Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa-

ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems;

* Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infr-

astructures;

* Human-machine interaction and usability;

* Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems;

* Cross-layer adaptation techniques;

* End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile

services;

* Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability;

* Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and standards for heter-

ogeneous wireless networks;

* Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous

systems;

* Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation

to networks conditions;

* Dependability measurement studies of mobile systems and services.
