The 1st International Workshop on Self-Managing Pervasive Service Systems, in conjunction with ICSOC 2012, November 12-16, Shanghai, China

https://sites.google.com/site/semapsworkshop/

There is a growing trend for the convergence of different computing paradigms, such as cloud computing, pervasive and mobile computing, service oriented computing. The applications of large scale Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), Internet of People (IoP) are gaining increasing attention in the converged computing world with unprecedented complexities: the management of an application is much more difficult due to large number of involved devices, events and contexts, due to the heterogeneity of networking, hardware and software; the shifting of storage and processing to cloud systems, security and privacy concerns become more challenging. All in all, applications and systems tend to become more complex than before to manage and operate in the converged world. These challenges call for useful self-managing capabilities to alleviate existing problems.

The realization of self-managing pervasive service systems needs cross-discipline research, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, pervasive and mobile computing, autonomic computing, software engineering, service oriented computing which are complementary with each other.

Call for papers

The workshop is soliciting papers on broad topics for self-managing pervasive service system. The topics of SeMaPS 2012 workshop include but not limited to:

* Software engineering research on achieving self-management capabilities in the converged computing environments, for example autonomic components, architecture driven self-management in pervasive service systems, formal methods for regulating self-management activities; * Approaches and tools for building pervasive service systems which can span across small devices and powerful computing node including cloud nodes; * Ways of improving the intelligence of self-managing systems through different computing intelligence approaches, for example the use of different computing intelligence approaches for planning in self-management features; * Approaches to self-managing capabilities in pervasive service systems, to realizing self-protection, self-optimization, self-configuration/adaptation, self-diagnosis/healing; * Context-awareness for pervasive service systems include context modelling and reasoning for self-managing systems, for example the usage of efficient pattern recoginition algorithms to recognize the current contexts, new context modeling and reasoning approaches for achieving context-awareness; * New pervasive service systems including various applications for example smart transportation systems, smart logistic systems, smart manufacturing systems and robotic systems, etc.； * Environments and tools for the development of self-managing pervasive service systems We are accepting three kinds of papers, the first are original and unpublished research papers, the second are visionary papers accepted as “work in progress” papers, the thrid are demo papers and industrial papers that shows strong application of self-managing, pervasive service systems.
