September 15, 2009, San Francisco, California, USA
Workshop held in conjunction with SASO 2009 (http://radlab.cs.berkeley.edu/saso2009/), September 14-18, 2009
Important dates:
- Submission of position paper: July 10, 2009 (required for attendance)
- Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2009
- Final copy: August 19, 2009
- Workshop: September 15, 2009
Workshop goal
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the construction of self-managing distributed systems. It will place the emphasis on software engineering (especially, software architecture and component-based software engineering) aspects of this construction, including models, architectures, languages, control techniques, middleware and tools that can be used to support the modular and principled building of self-* distributed systems. Topics of interest for the workshop include (but are not limited to):
- Component models and architectures for self-management.
- Generative and reflective (including aspect-oriented) techniques for self-management.
- Languages for self-managing systems, including formal specification, architecture description, programming, and domain specific languages.
- Control techniques for self-managing systems, including control-theoretic and decision-theoretic techniques.
- Coordination and decentralized architectures of control.
- Analysis and verification techniques for self-managing systems.
- Middleware and tool support for self-managing distributed systems.
- Algorithms for distributed self-management, including event detection, distributed control, etc.
Application areas of interest to the workshop include (but are not limited to): Web services, social networks, cloud computing, P2P systems and applications, pervasive computing.
