********************************************************************* * First Call for Papers * * IWSOS 2012 * 6th International Workshop on Self-organizing Systems * * Technical co-sponsors: IFIP, Euro-NF * * http://iwsos2012.ewi.tudelft.nl/ * * Delft, The Netherlands * March 15-16, 2012 * * Paper Submission Deadline: October 26, 2011 * ********************************************************************
** Scope
The main theme of the workshop is to discover the network science behind self-organizing systems, to facilitate and advance the understanding, learning, modeling, and analysis of self-organizational processes in nature (e.g., metabolic, DNA, brain networks) and to apply the knowledge of self-organization to man-made networks and systems.
The workshop scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topical areas in self-organizing systems:
- Modeling & analysis - Applications & service providers & management - Risks and security
Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. To make IWSOS 2012 a success, we invite the submission of full or short manuscripts that present original research results or research ideas on the theme of self-organizing systems.
** Key Topics
- Design and analysis of self-organizing and self-managing systems - Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society - Structure, characteristics and dynamics of self-organizing networks - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing systems - Robustness and adaptation in self-organizing systems - Self-organization in complex networks like peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc, vehicular and social networks - User and operator-related aspects of man-made self-organizing systems - Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network services - Control of self-organizing systems - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Decentralized power management in the smart grid - Self-protection, self-configuration, diagnosis, and healing - Self-organizing group and pattern formation - Self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation - Self-organizing information dissemination and content search - Security and safety in self-organizing networked systems - Risks and limits of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks
** Important Dates
Submission deadline: October 26, 2011 Notification: December 14, 2011 Camera-ready papers due: January 04, 2012 Conference: March 15-16 2012
** Papers
IWSOS 2012 invites submission of full or short manuscripts that present original research results or research ideas, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee and judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness.
The Springer “LNCS Proceedings” style should be used for submission. Templates for LaTeX and Word are available at http://tiny.cc/qiohy.
Full papers should describe original research results. Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style (including figures, references, and a short abstract).
Short Papers should be position papers, challenging papers, and papers presenting first results. The papers must be up to 6 pages length (LNCS style, including all figures and references), and must include a short abstract.
** Proceedings
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2012 to present the paper.
