EASS 2007 – Call for Papers
Fourth International Workshop on Engineering Autonomic Software Systems
Toronto, Canada, 22nd October 2007
To be held in conjunction with CASCON 2007: The 17th Annual
International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering
http://WatManager.UWaterloo.Ca/EASS2007
Understanding software engineering issues for autonomic computing
systems is critical for the software and information technology sectors,
which are continually challenged to reduce the complexity of their
systems. An autonomic system knows itself as well as its boundaries and
its environment, configures and reconfigures itself, continually
optimizes itself, recovers or heals from malfunction, protects itself,
and functions in a heterogeneous world, while keeping its complexity
hidden from the user.
While there are several workshops that deal with autonomic computing
systems, there are few workshops that focus on the whole life cycle;
i.e., how do we design, build, deploy, operate and evolve such software
systems so that they can meet given, and evolving, requirements for
particular classes of users and/or applications. Most existing systems
cannot be re-designed and re-developed from scratch to incorporate
autonomic capabilities. Rather self-management capabilities have to be
added gradually and incrementally, one aspect at a time. With the
proliferation of autonomic applications, users will impose ever more
demands with respect to functional and non-functional requirements for
autonomicity.
The goal of this workshop is to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and
discuss preliminary results among researchers and practitioners who
investigate concepts, methodologies, and tools to design and evolve
autonomic software.
EASS invites submissions on following topics (but not limited to):
Requirements, Design, Architecture, Implementation and Evolution of
Autonomic Systems
Engineering Self-Configuration, Self-Optimization and Self-Healing.
Methods, Methodologies and technologies for achieving Self-Management
Applications and Case Studies
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Submit papers by e-mail to [log in to unmask] by 1st July 2007.
Papers should be a maximum of 5 pages (including figures and references)
in CASCON camera-ready style
(http://witanweb.ca/cascon2007/casconFAQ.jsp#document_templates)
Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format.
All submissions will undergo a thorough review process and will be
judged on quality, originality, clarity and topical content. Submitted
papers should not have been previously published, in part or in full, or
be under consideration of another conference or journal. Accepted papers
will be published in the CASCON 2007 conference proceedings, and will
become part of the ACM digital library.
