************************************************************************* SASO 2017: Abstract submission deadline TODAY ************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS The Eleventh IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2017) University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ; 18-22 September 2017 https://saso2017.telecom-paristech.fr/ ************************************************************************* Part of FAS* - Foundation and Applications of Self-* Computing Conferences Collocated with: The International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC 2017) ------------------- Aims and Scope ------------------- The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research on the foundations of engineered systems that self-adapt and self-organize. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software, and services can be characterized by issues such as scale, heterogeneity, openness, and dynamics in the environment. This 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, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems in a principled way. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches. They form the basis for many other so-called self-* properties, such as self-configuration, self-healing, or self-optimization. SASO aims to be an interdisciplinary meeting, where contributions from participants with different backgrounds leads to the fostering of a cross-pollination of ideas, and where innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications can emerge. The eleventh edition of the SASO conference embraces this inter-disciplinary nature, and welcomes novel contributions to both the foundational and application-focused dimensions of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Systems theory: nature-inspired and socially-inspired paradigms and heuristics; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; theoretical frameworks and models; control theory; - System properties: robustness; resilience; stability; anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent behavior; computational awareness and self-awareness; - Systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and algorithms; design patterns; architectures; methodologies; software and middleware development frameworks and methods; platforms and toolkits; multi-agent systems; - Theory and practice of organization: self-governance, change management, electronic institutions, distributed consensus, commons, knowledge management, and the general use of rules, policies, etc. in self-* systems - Theory and practice of adaptation: mechanisms for adaptation, including evolution, logic, learning; adaptability, plasticity, flexibility - Socio-technical systems: human and social factors; visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness; humans-in-the-loop; ethics and humanities in self-* systems; - Data-driven approaches: data mining; machine learning; data science and other statistical techniques to analyze, understand, and manage behavior of complex systems; - Self-adaptive and self-organizing hardware: self-* materials; self-construction; reconfigurable hardware; - Education: experience reports; curricula; innovative course concepts; methodological aspects of self-* systems education; Applications and experiences with self-* systems in any of the following domains are of particular interest: + Smart systems: smart grids, smart cities, smart environments, smart homes, etc. + Industrial automation: embedded self-* systems, adaptive industrial plants, Industry 4.0, cyber physical systems + Transportation: autonomous vehicles, traffic optimization + Autonomous systems: aerial vehicles, undersea vehicles, autonomous robotics + Internet of Things: self-* for network management, self-* applied to cyber security We are looking for contributions that present new fundamental understanding of self-adaptive and self-organizing systems and how they can be engineered and used, including: novel theoretical or experimental results, novel design patterns, mechanisms, system architectures, frameworks, tools, and practical experiences in building or deploying systems and applications. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems, are equally encouraged. Likewise, papers describing substantial innovation or insights in the use and communication of self-* systems in the classroom are welcome. Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to participate in the Demo or Poster Sessions. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract submission: May 8, 2017 Paper submission: May 24, 2017 Notification: June 30, 2017 Camera ready copy due: July 12, 2017 Conference: September 18-22, 2017 ---------------------------- Submission Instructions ---------------------------- Submissions can be up to 10 pages, formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide, and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please submit your papers using the SASO 2017 conference management system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2017. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE Digital Library. Note that a separate Call for Poster and Demo Submissions will also be issued. As per the standard IEEE policies, all submissions should be original, i.e., they must not have been previously published in any conference proceedings, book, or journal and must not currently be under review for another archival conference. We also highlight the IEEE policies regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism (http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/ID_Plagiaris…) --------------------- Review Criteria --------------------- Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. Both theoretical and empirical contributions should be highlighted, substantiated by formal analysis, simulation, experimental evaluations, or comparative studies, etc. Appropriate references must be made to related work. Because SASO is a cross-disciplinary conference, we encourage papers to be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers should provide an indication of the real-world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the domain, and an evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome, especially if they highlight insights into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems that would be of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated based on the quality of their technical contribution, originality, soundness, significance, presentation, understanding of the state of the art, and overall quality. ------------------------------- Conference General Chair ------------------------------- Ada Diaconescu Telecom Paris-Tech, Paris, FR -------------------- Program Chairs -------------------- Peter Lewis, Aston University, Birmingham, UK Sam Malek, University of California, Irvine, USA Hella Seebach, Augsburg University, Augsburg, DE

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email] ________________________________________________________________________ *The 3rd International Workshop on Reengineering for Parallelism in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms (REPARA 2017)* https://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/repara2017/ Held in conjunction with the International Conference of Parallel Computing (ParCo 2017) http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/parco-2017 Bologna, Italy September, 12-15, 2017 ATTENTION: New Dates =================================== Submission deadline: June, 30, 2017 Notifications: July, 28, 2017 Abstract =================================== In recent years, traditional processors have not been able to directly translate chip fabrication technology advances intro performance gains. To keep satisfying the demand for computing power, there is a shift from homogeneous machines to heterogeneous architectures combining different kinds of processors (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and other accelerators). While this approach has allowed significant performance and energy efficiency benefits, heterogeneous systems are often highly difficult to program with existing tools. To reduce the cost of system development, reengineering techniques emerge as a solution which may help to balance ease-of-development with better performance, better reliability, and lower maintenance costs. The RePara2017 workshop it aims to join experts from related disciplines to share recent advances in different areas contributing to better transformation of new and legacy applications to different programming models for diverse computing devices in the context of parallel heterogeneous architectures. Scope and Interest =================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + High-level parallel programming models, libraries and languages for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Compiler support for Heterogeneous Parallel Systems. + Description languages for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Parallel patterns for Heterogeneous Platforms. + Autonomic management of Power/Performance trade-offs. + Automated kernel identification and assessment. + Software refactoring approaches for parallel programming models. + Transformations from source code to reconfigurable hardware. + Integration of FPGA accelerators into refactored software. + Runtimes for software coordination and task mapping in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Scheduling for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Performance modeling and prediction in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Energy efficiency monitoring and prediction in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Software quality assessment in parallel programming models with special attention to maintainability. + Applying partitioning and mapping for parallel Heterogeneous computing architectures. + Application experiences of refactoring to software in industrial domains. Workshop publication =================================== Accepted paper will be published in the proceedings of the ParCo 2017 Conference. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the proceedings book prior to its publication. Journal Publication =================================== Extended version of selected papers from the workshop will be invited by the RePara2017 program committee for publication, after further revision, in an special issue of an International Journal (to be announced). Submission Instructions =================================== Papers submitted to the workshop should be written in English conforming to the IOS Press Book format (see templates at IOS Press site at http://www.iospress.nl/service/authors/latex-and-word- tools-for-book-authors/). The paper should be submitted through the workshop submission system at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/confere nces/?conf=repara2017). The length of the papers should not exceed 10 pages.
