"SELF-MANAGING SYSTEMS"
The fourteenth IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations & Management will be held October 20-22, 2003 in Heidelberg, Germany. The workshop is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Network Management for Communication Networks with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). The Workshop location is the European Institute for Research and Strategic Studies in Telecommunications (EURESCOM), beautifully situated above the romantic city of Heidelberg with its unique blend of river landscape, historic town, and hillside castle.
WORKSHOP SCOPE The scope of this workshop will be on the operations and management of distributed systems, networks, application software, and services and the impact of advanced computing and network technologies on management.
The theme of this workshop will be "Self-Managing Systems". Recent activities in distributed processing and network management aim at building self-managing and self-organizing computing systems and networks whose purpose is to automate some or all of the tasks typically carried out by an administrator or management system. This concept takes the distributed management paradigm one step further by providing managed resources with a very high degree of autonomy. Self-managing systems will be able to detect failures or performance degradations, initiate diagnostic procedures and carry out corrective actions on their own. Their ability to discover changes in the environment will enable Self-managing Systems to adapt and optimize their behavior. Self-management is particularly important for mobile systems, since mobile environments are highly dynamic and consist of a very large number of managed systems. The workshop will explore infrastructures, techniques, and methods that can be used to design and implement such self-managing systems, as well as research results on other topics related to distributed management.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and Platforms for Self-managing Systems * Case Studies and Experiences with Self-managing Systems * Self-healing Systems and Networks * Using Peer-to-peer Technologies for Management * Management Issues in Grid Computing and Grid-based Management Systems * Application of Service oriented Architectures (Web Services, Open Grid Services Architecture) to Self-managing Systems * Implementation and Integration of Self-managing Systems with standardized frameworks, management architectures and APIs (OSI/TMN, SNMP, CORBA, WBEM/CIM, JMX)
* Experiences with Distributed Management of Systems, Applications and Services * End-to-end Service Provisioning * Monitoring, Event and Fault Handling * QoS Management in Distributed Systems and Networks * Transaction Monitoring and Management * Automated Instrumentation of Distributed Applications * Management Information Models * Inter-Domain Management * Adaptive Services and Applications * Active Technologies for Management * Policy-based Management * Configuration Management and Self-Configuration * Security and Trust Issues in Distributed Management * Mobility Management
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION The workshop is an effort to bring together people actively working in the management area. This international workshop is the 14th in a series of highly successful annual workshops on "Distributed Systems: Operations & Management (DSOM)". Recent DSOM workshops were held in Zurich (1999), Austin (2000), Nancy (2001), and Montreal (2002).
Selection of contributions will be based on reviews of the papers submitted. We also plan to hold a work-in-progress session where early work will be presented.
PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2003.
*** Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2003 ***
Authors are requested to submit: - Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) or - Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 2 pages) in PDF or Postscript format. Detailed Author Instructions are available from the Workshop web site http://www.dsom2003.org/. The Proceedings of the Workshop, comprising both the accepted long and short papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. If accepted, the camera-ready copy of each paper will have to comply with the instructions available from the Springer web site at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Note that a paper does not have to follow this style for submission; however, being aware of the LNCS requirements may help save extra work later.
A Best Paper Award will be presented. Candidates for the award will be identified during the regular review process; an independent awards committee will evaluate the candidate papers together with their presentations and select the best paper.
IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for Receipt of Full Papers: April 18, 2003 Notification of acceptance mailed: June 30, 2003 Author Registration and Final Camera Ready Papers Due: July 31, 2003
