The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the
foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks
and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. To this
end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different
backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to
expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies,
tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging
computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems
and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields
(e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence,
sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing
networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and
self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a
paradigm shift.
The fourth edition of the SASO conference encourages submissions in both
traditional themes of self-adaptivity and self-organization, as well as
in emerging areas. Some of these new areas include (but are not limited
to) Internet-enabled applications, cloud computing, social-networking,
and the Internet of Things. These are enabling radically new and
innovative services that will play an increasingly important role in
society, business, and our day to day lives. The success of both new as
well as traditional research areas ultimately depends on robust self-*
hardware, software, networking, and services.
Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own
global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they
are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better
functionality or performance is possible. A challenge is often to
identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired
improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed
of a large number of components that interact locally according to
typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from
these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and
control the resulting global behavior.
Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or
practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world
systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting
different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or
demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different
systems are particularly encouraged.
Topics
The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to:
* Applications and experiences with self-* systems
    * Design and engineering for self-* systems (self-organization,
      self-adaptation, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning,
      self-repair, self-configuration, etc.)
    * Management and control of self-* systems
    * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems
    * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems
    * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems
    * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems
Submission Instructions
All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE
Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted
electronically in pdf format. Please register as authors and submit your
papers using the SASO 2010 conference management system
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010. The proceedings
will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as
a part of the IEEE digital library. A separate call for poster
submissions will be launched during March 2010.
Review Criteria
Papers should present novel ideas in the topic domains listed above,
clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research.
We expect claims of contribution to be clearly stated and substantiated
by formal analysis, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and
so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work.
Authors are also encouraged to submit application papers. Application
papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance
of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment
domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or
superiority to alternative approaches. If the application is still early
work in progress, then the authors are expected to provide strong
arguments as to why the proposed approach will work in the chosen domain.

Overview
The fourth SASO Conference continues its tradition of offering, with its
Poster sessions, a great opportunity for interactive presentation of
diverse research works, from late-breaking results, to innovations in
their initial stages, to speculative and provocative ideas. Poster
sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and
interested participants to engage one another in in-depth discussions
about the presented research work.
Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. Submissions
in the following areas are particularly encouraged:
* Self-organization
    * Self-adaptation
    * Other self-* properties (self-management, self-monitoring,
      self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, etc.)
    * Theories, frameworks and methods for self-* systems
    * Management and control of self-* systems
    * Robustness and dependability of self-* systems
    * Approaches to engineering self-* systems
    * Control of emergent properties in self-* systems
    * Biologically, socially, and physically inspired self-* systems
    * Applications and experiences with self-* systems
Submission Process
For evaluation and selection, authors should submit an extended,
two-pages abstract of their poster. The format of the extended abstract
must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style
guide. Authors' submissions should be in pdf format. Submissions will be
managed through the SASO 2010 conference management system
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2010, similar to full
papers. Poster authors should use the *poster track* for their submissions.
Accepted Posters
If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the
extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and
in a format compliant with the IEEE paper format for the conference (see
the SASO 2010 http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/saso10/ web site for
instructions). Posters are advertised in the Final Program, and authors'
two-page extended abstracts will appear in the SASO 2010 Conference
Proceedings, which will be distributed at SASO 2010.
Poster Content
All posters should include the following information:
* The purpose and the goals of the work.
    * Any background and motivation needed to understand the work as
      well as any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the
      work.
    * A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient
      detail for a viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If
      the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to
      state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results
      towards them.
    * The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate.
      Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out
      relationships to work represented by other accepted posters.
    * Where to find additional information. This should include but is
      not restricted to:
          o a web site where viewers can go to find additional
            information about the work
          o how to contact the authors, including email addresses
          o citations for any papers, books, or other materials that
            provide additional information
Poster Layout Guidelines
The format of posters and the nature of poster sessions require authors
to capture the viewers' attention effectively, and present the main
traits that can help understand the context of their research work
efficiently. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and
screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in
successful posters.Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with
dense text. If you use screen shots, please ensure that the shots print
legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read comfortably once
they are placed on paper.
Attendance
At least one of the poster authors is required to register at the
conference. She is required to give a brief presentation of the poster
in the interactive poster session, and to stay with the poster so that
she can discuss the work with conference attendees, for the duration of
the scheduled poster sessions.

*Call for Tutorials*
*Important Dates*
Proposal submission deadline:
May 14, 2010
Acceptance notification:
June 11, 2010
Notes submission deadline:
July 28, 2010
Tutorial presentations:
Sept 27 - Oct 1, 2010
Early registration deadline:
August 13, 2010
*Scope*
The SASO-2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be
held in association with the conference. SASO is a highly successful
conference series which aims to bring together diverse communities
working on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems to discuss new
results and upcoming trends in this exciting area. The tutorial program
has been initiated to support this aim.
Tutorials should address one or more of the following objectives:
* Introduce a major topic area of SASO research.
    * Survey a significant application / technology area of SASO.
    * Explain an area of SASO research relevant to industry.
    * Overview a particular approach or methodology for SASO work.
    * Highlight emerging SASO topics and techniques.
    * Explain SASO ideas originating from one community but applicable
      to others.
For a guide on what topic areas, technologies and communities fall
within the SASO focus refer to the Call for Papers, available on the
conference website. It is not expected that tutorials will cover
specific topics or techniques that are already covered in existing
textbooks. For example, a tutorial on "genetic algorithms" would not be
accepted. However, a tutorial that coherently shows how such an existing
technique has been applied in innovative ways to solve SASO-relevant
engineering problems would be acceptable. Novel and timely areas,
approaches and paradigms are particularly encouraged. Proposals that
promote only a single author's work or a specific commercial product are
not encouraged.
*Proposal Submission*
Tutorial proposals, maximum 3 pages, should contain:
* A descriptive title of the tutorial (max. 1 line).
    * A specification of the tutorial length, i.e. specify half day
      (approx. 4 hours) or full day (approx. 8 hours).
    * A brief, one paragraph, description of the tutorial suitable for
      publication on the SASO website and in other publicity material
      (max. half page).
    * A statement of why the tutorial is relevant / interesting for the
      potential conference audience (max. half page).
    * An outline syllabus of the topics to be covered in the tutorial -
      list a maximum of eight specific subtopic headings. For each
      heading list relevant keywords and, where necessary, references to
      representative published work that will be covered within that
      topic (max. one page).
    * Short resume of the presenter(s) including name, e-mail, home
      web-page URL, postal address, telephone and fax numbers and brief
      description of background in the tutorial area including evidence
      of teaching experience (previous courses / tutorials taught) and
      scholarship in the area (2 or 3 selected references to
      representative publications). If more than one presenter is
      listed, indicate which should be the corresponding contact (max.
      half page).
*Proposal Acceptance*
Tutorial submissions will be evaluated by the SASO Tutorial Chair in
association with the General Co-Chairs. During the evaluation process
the prospective speakers may be contacted to provide clarification or
further information. Those submitting rejected proposals will be given
reasons and feedback.
For all accepted proposals SASO will provide:
* Meeting place, publicity, logistics and registration for the tutorial.
    * Duplication and distribution of tutorial notes to participants.
Tutorial organizers will provide:
* A pdf file of their tutorial notes by the due date.
    * Presentation of their tutorial at SASO 2010.

The SASO 2010 Steering Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program to be held along with the technical conference. SASO 2010
workshops will provide a meeting for presenting novel ideas in a less
formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. Its aim
is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction, and
comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics,
both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Self-Adaptive and
Self-Organizing Systems. Members from all areas of the SASO community
are invited to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops on
applications or on new and emerging topics are particularly encouraged.
Workshops can vary in length, but most will be one full day in duration.
Proceedings will be published through the IEEE. Workshop attendance will
be free with registry for the main SASO conference; a workshop-only rate
will be available as well.
*SASO 2010 Workshops - Requirements for Submission*
Proposals for workshops should be a maximum of five pages in length, and
should contain the following information:
* Title of the workshop.
    * A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the
      workshop goals, the technical issues that it will address, and the
      relevance of the workshop to the main conference.
    * A discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
    * A list of related workshops held within the last three years, if
      any, and their relation to the proposed workshop.
    * Information about previous offerings of the proposed workshop:
      when and where it has been offered in the past, organizers names
      and affiliations, number of submissions, acceptances and
      registered attendees.
    * A preliminary workshop agenda and a proposed schedule for
      organizing the workshop. This should include a brief description
      of how the organizers intend to encourage an atmosphere
      appropriate for a workshop.
    * Description of paper review process and acceptance standards in
      order to keep the workshop high in quality.
    * If available, a list of tentatively confirmed attendees.
    * The names, affiliations, postal addresses, phone numbers, and
      email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing committee.
      This committee should consist of three or four people
      knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed. The
      organizing committee should include individuals from multiple
      institutions.
    * The primary email address for contacting the organizing committee.
    * A description of the qualifications of the individual committee
      members with respect to organizing a SASO workshop, including a
      list of workshops previously arranged by any members of the
      proposed organizing committee, if any.
    * List of potential program committee members, including their title
      and affiliations.
    * Expected duration of the workshop (half or full day).
    * A list of places (distribution lists, web sites, journals, etc.)
      where the workshop is planned to be advertised.
Proposers are encouraged to send their draft proposal to potential
participants for comments before submission. All proposals should be
submitted in plain ASCII text by electronic mail to the SASO 2010
Workshops Chair, Jacob Beal, via jakebeal@bbn.com.
The selection of the workshops to be included in the final SASO 2010
Workshop program will be based upon multiple factors, including: the
scientific/technical interest of the topics, the quality of the
proposal, balance and distinctness of workshop topics, and the capacity
of the conference workshop program. Note that authors of proposals
addressing similar and/or overlapping content areas and/or audiences may
be requested to merge their proposals.
*Responsibilities of SASO 2010 and Workshop Organizers*
For all accepted proposals, SASO 2010 will be responsible for:
* Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole.
    * Providing logistical support and a meeting place for the workshop.
    * Together with the organizers, determining the workshop date and time.
    * Liaising and coordinating between the workshop chairs and the
      finance chair, publicity chair, registration chair, and web chair
      for SASO.
    * Arranging for publication of proceedings.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:
* Setting up a web site for the workshop.
    * Advertising the workshop (and the main SASO conference), and
      issuing a call for papers and a call for participation.
    * Collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of
      acceptance or rejection on a timely basis, and ensuring a
      transparent and fair selection process. All workshop organizers
      commit themselves to adopt the deadlines set by the committee.
    * Making the pdf of the whole workshop notes available to the
      workshop chair, as well as a list of audio-visual requirements and
      any special room requirements.
    * Ensuring that the workshop organizers and the participants
      register for the workshop and/or the main conference (at least one
      author must register for the paper to appear in the proceedings).
SASO reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register for
the workshop to support its running costs.
*Submissions and Inquiries*
Please send proposals and inquiries to: Jacob Beal, BBN Technologies, 10
Moulton St, Cambridge, MA 02138; jakebeal@bbn.com
