WORKSHOP SCOPE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective
software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain mission-
and business-critical applications over mobile environments.
In recent years, we witnessed an increasing demand for mission- and
business-critical applications over mobile environments. To overcome the
intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of
research studies have produced a plethora of methods and
proof-of-concept prototypes for supporting non-critical applications.
However, it is still unclear whether current technologies, methods, and
solutions can satisfy the challenging adaptability and dependability
requirements of the emerging mobile mission- and business- critical
systems and applications, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of
robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance.
To be effective, these applications must endorse provisions that allow
them to continue the optimal distribution of their service despite the
occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or faults in
their infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Hence, it is
becoming increasingly important: to devise conceptual models and
paradigms able to mange and to express strategies and provisions for
change tolerance and for cross-layer adaptation; to propose mechanisms
to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to
provide analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to
withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop
design-/run-time solutions to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs
between energy consumption, performance, safety,
and security. The main goal of this first workshop is that of fostering
exchange of ideas and lively discussions to reduce the gap between
research achievements and industrial applications in the field of
adaptive and dependable mission- and business- critical mobile systems
and applications.
Researchers and practitioners from the academia and the industry are
encouraged to participate. 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
mission- and business-critical applications over mobile environments are
solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop include, but
are not limited to:
* Dependability and real-time adaptation requirements for mobile systems
* Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services
* Design principles, models, and tools for adaptive mobile systems
* Mobile-enabled middleware for heterogeneous wireless networks
* Middleware support for adaptation and dependability
* Context data provisioning and modelling
* Context-based adaptive infrastructures
* Human-machine interaction and usability
* Multi-device systems
* Integration of heterogeneous software platforms and operating systems
* Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation
* Cross-layer adaptation
* Software dependability in multimedia systems over wireless media
* Group communication and group membership services
* QoS control and component scheduling
* Standardization issues
