Call For Papers - CFP

Adaptation reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes, such as uncertainties and variations during fabrication, faults and degradations, modifications in the operational environment, incidental or intentional interference, different users and preferences, modifications of standards and requirements, trade-offs between performance and resources.

We welcome original contributions in the areas of hardware and software adaptation at different system levels, including novel tools and algorithms for adaptive system design (e.g. adaptation-aware compilers), novel applications of adaptive hardware and systems (e.g. intelligent agent machines), and novel enabling hardware technologies for such systems (e.g. instrumentation platforms, novel reconfigurable and multi-core architectures). We particularly welcome novel contributions in the areas of adaptive data transmission for telecommunications (e.g. adapting to power limitations, changing environment, and interferences), novel data compression techniques (e.g. new image compression techniques for space applications), and novel software/hardware architectures for unmanned autonomous vehicles (e.g. adapting to extreme environments and mission unknowns).
