In particular, the self-* properties (self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection) outline the fundamental features of an autonomic computing system. Parallel and distributed systems, a computing domain with great applicability in a variety of industrial and domestic contexts, rely on self-* software to manage a large number of heterogeneous computation, communication, and storage resources. The challenges of energy efficiency, dependability and security are of particular interest. This special issue addresses the software aspects of the whole design and operational process and system architecture of self-* parallel and distributed systems. We welcome studies on all forms of software, including application software and system software. The relevant scope of parallel and distributed systems widely covers, but is not limited to, embedded systems, large-scale networks, cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-computing etc. The systems under focus should integrate software with clear and novel self-* features to be qualified for acceptance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Model-driven engineering of self-* distributed systems- Robust design of self-* parallel and distributed systems- Software design and implementation for energy-awareness- Energy-awareness in self-organizing systems such as in cluster-based systems and cloud computing- Real-time aspects, especially in conjunction with other conflicting design goals- Evolvability aspects- Resilience of autonomic distributed and parallel systems- Self-healing and protection for dependable and secure systems- Software for interoperable heterogeneous networked systems - Specification and modeling languages for self-* properties- Formal validation and verification- Software testing- Parallel and distributed debugging- Application and industrial case studies- Retrospective, Review and Future Perspectives Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html.
