Call for Papers --------------- Adaptability is a generic property of a system that consists in the system’s capability to self-adjust its behavior according to its input, load or users in order to meet certain performance criteria. Adaptability has been described as a characteristic of autonomous behavior and is often related to possessing learning capabilities through analysis of past behaviors and interactions. Adaptability has been intensely studied by various areas of engineering including artificial intelligence, control systems and human orientated systems. Adaptability has been set as an important requirement for systems devised to work in new generation global networked and distributed environments like wireless networks, P2P networks, Web systems, multi-agent systems, grids, etc. Such systems are expected to pose new challenges for the development and application of adaptation techniques, due to their special characteristics including: interconnectivity, interactivity, distribution, heterogeneity and fault-tolerance.

This special session welcomes submissions covering all aspects of adaptability in networked systems and media, including (but not limited to): - Self-configuring and self-structuring systems - Adaptive control in communication networks - Adaptive networked control systems - Rule-based adaptive systems - Adaptability in multi-agent systems - Personalized and adaptive hypermedia - Adaptive information provisioning - Adaptive coordination - Adaptability in e-services, including e-learning and e-commerce - Adaptive negotiation - Context-aware systems

Papers acceptance will be judged based on their relevance, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.

The papers will be published in the IEA/AIE 2008 conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.

Important dates --------------- Papers submission: November 15, 2007 Notification of acceptance: February 1, 2008 Final submission: February 28, 2008 Workshop date: To be announced (Inside June 18-20, 2008)
