Themes & Topics:
SAACS are systems which are self-managed, self-healing, self-organised, that
are ultra-reliable, robust, yet dynamically flexible. So far, the computing
community may have focussed on one aspect or another of these requirements,
but we believe that never before the ambitious target of developing an ICT
system that exhibits all these features have been contemplated before. These
systems cannot be controlled centrally, but form complex self-organising
computational environments, for which decentralized forms of control have to
be invented. The research departments of the big IT companies have started,
in earnest, initiatives (e.g. IBM's Autonomic Computing, Microsoft's Dynamic
Systems Initiative (DSI), Sun's N1 and HP's Adaptive Infrastructure) to
focus on this kind of control. It's claimed that such systems are the most
promising way forward to manage ever increasingly complex systems with less
resources.
1. System Analysis: Theoretical and simulation frameworks for analyzing
performance of autonomic systems, evaluation criteria for dynamic
adaptation; Tools (simulators, analytical models, middleware, compilers,
debuggers, system management facilities, etc.); Software and hardware
concepts for dynamic problem detection
2. System Design: Software engineering support, design metaphors and
frameworks for self-organization, self-healing, self-configuration,
self-protection; dynamic fault diagnosis and correction; workload
characterization; self-recognition; machine learning and defense strategies;
dynamic stability; dynamic adaptation; reflective programming; Balancing
optimization versus robustness; Architecture designs for underlying
hardware.
3. System Control: Approaches for managing SAACS (economic/market-based,
nature-, biology-, immunology- inspired, cognition science, chemistry,
physics); Performance management; Software agents, multi-agent systems;
service and resource management; network monitoring and characterization;
data migration and management; service discovery and management; performance
modelling and analysis; load balancing and dynamic stability.
4. Applications: Integrating SAACS with Peer-to-Peer infrastructure,
Multiagent systems, Communication Networks, Databases, Grid Computing,
Pervasive Computing; Application-level adaptation and exploitation of
underlying system's autonomic capabilities; Commercial and mission critical
applications; Managing self-adaptive autonomic computing systems.

Call for Papers & Submission details
The workshop will be organized in a manner designed to foster interaction
and exchange of ideas among the participants. Authors are invited to submit
original research contributions or experience reports of previously
unpublished work. The submission must not be simultaneously submitted for
publication elsewhere in a workshop or a conference or magazine, in any
form, electronic or otherwise.
Papers should be in English and be no more than 5 double-column pages long
in conformance to the IEEE CS Press guidelines.
(http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). The accepted papers will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society in a Dexa 2004 Workshops Proceedings
of all workshops. Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper as
per instructed by the IEEE (in word or pdf or ps format). Submission will be
by uploading the abstract and the full paper to a web page.

Einladung zum Fachgruppentreffen und
zur Mitgliederversammlung
am 5. und 6. Mai 2004
in der Saarbrücker Informatik/Sirrix AG
Universität des Saarlandes
----------------------------------------------------------
Beim gemeinsamen Treffen der Fachgruppen m-SEC, PET
und NETSEC während der Informatik 2003 in Frankfurt
wurde eine gemeinsame Veranstaltung in 2004 angekündigt.
Diese soll nun am 5. und 6. Mai 2004 auf dem Campus der
Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken stattfinden.
Unter dem Leitthema "Location Based Services" haben wir
6-10 Vorträge mit einem zeitlichen Umfang von 20-45 Min.
vorgesehen.
Mit weiteren 4-6 Beiträgen sollen auch andere aktuelle
Themen rund um die Sicherheit in Netzen ihren Platz haben.
Schließlich wird die erste reguläre Mitgliederversammlung
stattfinden und das neue Leitungsgremium wählen.
Bitte melden Sie sich schon heute an (siehe unten).
Anmeldeschluß ist der 16.4.2004
-----------------------------------------------------------
Aufrufe
1.) Call for Papers
Es werden Beiträge zum Leitthema "Location Based Services"
und zur "Sicherheit in Netzen" gesucht. Der Vortrag kann
zwischen 20 und 30 Minuten, unter Umständen auch 45 Minuten
Umfang haben.
Es sind ausdrücklich auch kommerzielle technische Beiträge
zugelassen. Besonders berücksichtigt werden studentische
Beträge.
Bitte schicken Sie eine kurze Mail mit Autor, Titel und
