CALL FOR PAPERS
** UPDATED **
SelfMan 2005
IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Systems & Services
Nice, France, 19 May 2005
http://madyne.loria.fr/selfman2005/
co-located with IM 2005
http://www.ieee-im.org/
Scope:
As the distributed systems and services that sustain our day-to-day IT
and
communication infrastructures become increasingly complex, traditional
solutions to manage and control them seem to have reached their limits.
Researchers are thus testing alternate paradigms to organize and
structure
them. In recent years, self-managed systems and services have raised
much
interest in integrated management, distributed systems and software
engineering. This interest builds on the success already encountered by
self-organized and self-stabilizing systems in distributed artificial
intelligence, material science, thermodynamics, etc.
During this workshop, we wish to gather people with different
backgrounds
to analyze and discuss the potential of self-* technologies for
managing
and controlling distributed systems and services. Areas of interest
include
self-management, self-organization, self-adaptability, self-monitoring,
self-tuning, self-repair and self-configuration. For instance, workshop
contributions could describe success stories in a specific field, while
others could make analogies between several fields, and yet others
could
propose new ideas or thought-provoking solutions to old/new problems.
Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to,
the
following:
- self-managed distributed systems and networks
- context awareness and self-adaptation
- self-organization in P2P applications
- self-organized MANETs and sensor networks
- self-adaptive systems
- self-repairing distributed systems
- self-configured networks
- self-organized service deployment
- self-adaptive e-business services
- autonomic systems
- goals and policies for self-managed systems
- decision making in self-* systems
The structure of this workshop will encourage discussions and foster
future
collaborations. Attendance will be limited to 50 participants. Authors
should submit 4-page position papers to jp.martin-flatin@ieee.org in
PDF
format. Selected papers will be available on the workshop website (no
transfer of copyright). Enhanced versions of the best papers will be
published in 2006 in a special issue of Communications of the ACM.
