What is PerAda?

The FET Proactive Initiative on Pervasive Adaptation targets technologies and design paradigms for pervasive information and communication systems, which are capable of autonomously adapting in dynamic environments. The adaptation of individual components will lead to adaptation of the system as a whole and to the emergence of new system behaviours which will be self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and self-protecting. The prospect of building adapting pervasive systems brings many new trust and security challenges to the complex interactions between people, intelligent devices and computers and will need to take account of the non-deterministic and often non-predictable behaviour of people.

PerAda is the Pervasive Adaptation Research Network, coordinated by Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland - which aims to bring researchers together to discuss and share ideas relevant to Pervasive Adaptation. By joining the discussion, PerAda members gain access to a comprehensive research network to share ideas and resources. You can join PerAda here.
