Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Dear Sirs, dear Madams, Society is currently experiencing the increasing population of “things,” able to autonomously link with each other and enact complex strategies to achieve tasks. The emergence of the Semantic Web, the Internet-of-Things, Ambient Intelligence, and cyber-physical societies make it impossible to capture the intricacies of the future highly dynamic and turbulent networks of interrelated computer-based and hybrid components. As such, it is important that systems are designed to self-adapt to changes without diverging from their intended functions as prescribed in their specifications. The mission of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) is to offer awareness and visibility to novel techniques and methods to achieve self-adaptability and self-resilience when systems and organizations are deployed in environments where change is the rule rather than the exception. IJARAS is also a tool to enhance the awareness of the key role played by said techniques and methods: engineering self-adaptive and self-resilient systems and organizations is an urgent necessity to keep society resilient in the face of the technology that sustains it. The journal pursues its mission by addressing researchers, practitioners, engineers, educators, and professionals and by publishing novel results on each of the diverse components of such a complex and multi-disciplinary research problem. We invite you to follow the example of many a renowned researcher and submit your papers to IJARAS by following the guidelines here: http://win.ua.ac.be/~vincenz/ijaras/ The contents of the volumes of IJARAS issued since 2010 may be browsed at http://www.igi-global.com/journal-contents/international-journal-adaptive-r… Please find herein the abstract of the latest issue, IJARAS 4(1). All inquiries and submissions should be sent to: Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio at vincenzo.deflorio(a)gmail.com; vincenzo.deflorio(a)ua.ac.be Thank you for your attention, kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio.

Taking advantage of the experience gained in the context of the European project Connect, which addresses the challenging and ambitious topic of eternally functioning distributed and heterogeneous systems, this paper presents a framework to analyse and assess dependability and performance properties in dynamic and evolving contexts. The goal is to develop an adaptive approach by coupling stochastic model-based analysis, performed at design time to support the definition and implementation of software products complying with their stated dependability and performance requirements, with run-time monitoring to re-calibrate and enhance the dependability and performance prediction along evolution. The proposed framework for adaptive assessment is described and illustrated through a case study. To simplify the description while making more concrete the approach under study, the authors adopted the setting and terminology of the Connect project.

Yellin (IBM Israel Software Lab, Jerusalem, Israel) and Jorge Buenabad-Chávez (Departmento de Computación, Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico City, Mexico) In the context of adaptive query processing (AQP), several techniques have been proposed for dynamically adapting/redistributing processor load assignments throughout a computation to take account of varying resource capabilities. The effectiveness of these techniques depends heavily on when and to what they adapt processor load assignments, particularly in the presence of varying load imbalance. Most existing approaches to this problem use heuristics based only upon the current machine load levels. The authors provide an algorithm, prAdapt that probabilistically predicts the future load on processors, based upon the recent history. It uses this prediction to evaluate the expected performance of different alternative solutions, taking into account the cost of the adaptation itself. If it finds a better solution than the current load distribution policy, it adapts to that distribution. Using a simulation based evaluation; they compare prAdapt to other approaches for AQP reported in the literature. The authors’ simulation results indicate that prAdapt often outperforms these other approaches.

While on the one hand the use of these technologies responds to the duty of any public institution to involve the largest number of addressees, on the other hand, society must also consider the limitations of these technologies. Firstly not everybody is so familiar in their use. Moreover, the digital administration thus becomes virtual, accessible only through technological devices and not present in a physical location, and is therefore essential to ensure full coverage of the territory, which is currently not always possible. The main novelty of this paper is the implementation of an automated system capable of adapting different types of government services to multiple communication media. The joint exploitation of multiple technologies allows to use the strengths of one of them when are found the limits of another, making this multichannel modality the solution to the requirement of ICT in public administration.

In the past few years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be instrumental to improve emergency management with particular focus on resilience, rapidity of response, adaptability to situations. To these ends, joint optimization of communication and computing is a promising cross-layer approach. Indeed, this paper is focused on the consideration of both cognitive and autonomic networking approaches when deploying an emergency management system. The cognitive approach was initially considered specifically for wireless communications, while the autonomic approach was initially introduced for managing complex computing systems; however, they share several similarities in dealing with fully reconfigurable systems. The future trend is to expand their influence toward the global optimization of the ICT infrastructure, as the authors show in this paper for the specific case of emergency management systems.

Publish/subscribe is appearing as a communication paradigm matching well with highly dynamic distributed applications characterized by reconfigurability, flexibility, and scalability. Nevertheless, very few efforts tackle dynamic modifications in the topology of the P/S distributed dispatching infrastructure despite such events represent a basic confrontation in mobile computing scenarios.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS S4NETS - Staminal Self-Organizing Self-Configuring Self-Evolving Networks WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Gianluca Aloi, University of Calabria, Italy aloi(a)deis.unical.it Marco Di Felice, University of Bologna, Italy, difelice(a)cs.unibo.it Valeria Loscrì, University of Calabria, Italy, vloscri(a)deis.unical.it Pasquale Pace, University of Calabria, Italy, ppace(a)deis.unical.it Giuseppe Ruggeri, University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, giuseppe.ruggeri(a)unirc.it SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTERESTS The goal of this Workshop is to go beyond the concept of self-organizing networks and systems by proposing the concept of ?STEM-NETWORKS?. This concept includes the well-known ideas of self-configuration, self-management, self-healing, but it pushes these features even farther until including the concept of node /MUTATION/ and /EVOLUTION/. The ?stemness? term recalls the peculiarity of a biological stem cell, able to evolve and specialize towards a specialized cell. The main difference with the biological counterpart and the our concept of ?stemness? lies on the reversibility of the process. Each node is able to opportunistically configure its-self based on the specific task that needs to be accomplished. Strictly related to the ?stemness? concept is not only selfness property of the system that come out in a straightforward way but also swarm concept. In fact, devices evolve and organize to each other by accomplishing simple sub-task, each of one is part of a bigger task. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following: ü New technology enabling and involving the concept of self-organization ü New advancements in Software Defined Networking ü Cooperation and coordination algorithms and protocols for services differentiation and quality of service (QoS) provision ü Controlled mobility strategies to support self-organizing networks ü Bio Inspired Models for Self Organization ü Topology control schemes in S4 communications networks ü Self-organizing group and pattern formation ü Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation ü Self-organizing information dissemination and content search ü Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems ü Risks and limits of self-organization ü Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet ü Multi-disciplinary approaches and solutions for novel S4 methodologies SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 30 MAY 2013. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6) printed pages in length, including figures.

The current trend of unprecedented migration from rural areas to urban centers is expected to continue in the near future. This increasing urbanization has placed continuous and increasing pressure upon infrastructure, residential and commercial properties, and social communities. Cities of the future can be models of environmental efficiency, because increased density and better management reduce the cost of service delivery, promote innovation, and enable prosperity through economic development. The goSMART workshop will bring together academics, researchers and practitioners from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of networking, communications, IT systems, applications and service to realize smart communities of the future. Topics of interest include but are not limited to - sensor networks for large-scale urban sensing - smart grid and efficient energy management - deployment issues for smart infrastructure in urban areas - traffic management and efficiency - mechanisms to measure quality of life of communities - participatory sensing for smart cities - security and privacy implications - methods to reduce carbon footprint of cities - mechanisms for motivating behavior change towards sustainability - experimental testbeds and simulation environments - smart clouds for management of large-scale data - service delivery and logistics planning Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified.
