Workshop on Pervasive Adaptation at SASO 2008

Download Flyer

The vision of a technology rich-future in which computing is truly ubiquitous poses significant engineering challenges. Multitudes of heterogeneous devices will be required to operate in an ever-changing networked environment which has no central control point or controller. These dynamically created systems will have to continuously organise and adapt; adaptation of individual components will lead to adaptation of the system as a whole and to the emergence of new system behaviours. More fundamentally, in order that such ad-hoc networks can even function, they will need exhibit self-CHOP properties, i.e. be self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and self-protecting. For this vision to be realised, new approaches to both hardware and software are required to endow systems with the capability to achieve these goals.

The prospect of building self-organising and adapting pervasive systems brings many new challenges, ranging from maintaining trust and security to enabling the formation of tribes of societal artefacts. Addressing these challenges will require a unified approaches, integrating competencies across a range of disciplines; the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working in perhaps historically distinct fields to work together in defining goals and methods that will move towards tackling the particular problems associated with dealing with self-organising and adaptive pervasive computing environments.

Post-proceedings of the workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society on a CD and made available on the IEEE digital library.

Paper Submissions

A handout will be circulated to everyone at the workshop. The handout must be able to be printed on A4 paper but can be in any style or any length. It may contain supplementary material to that which will be ultimately published in the IEEE digital library.

Following the workshop, a post-proceedings will be published by the IEEE Digital Library. Deadlines for receiving copy will be published in due course – it is imperative that papers to received for the post-proceedings are SIX (6) pages in length and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.
