==* CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION *== The 12th International "Organic Computing Doctoral Dissertation Colloquium" (OC-DDC 2024) June 13th - 14th, 2024 at the Goethe University Frankfurt in Frankfurt/Main, Germany The Organic Computing Doctoral Dissertation Colloquium (OC-DDC) is organised by the Special Interest Group on Organic Computing within the Gesellschaft für Informatik. The 2024 edition will take place at the Goethe University Frankfurt in Frankfurt/Main, Germany from Thursday, June 13th to Friday, June 14th. Details on the event (and its predecessors) are available at: https://sites.google.com/view/ocddc-2024 We invite applications from PhD students at any stage of their doctoral studies on Organic Computing, Autonomic Computing, intelligent systems, self-adaptation and self-organisation, self-aware computing systems, autonomous learning, self-* mechanisms, trustworthy systems, and related research topics. ==* Colloquium Theme *== The intent of the DDC is to bring together PhD students who have their research focus within the broader Organic Computing community and will not have defended their thesis before June 2024. The main goal of this colloquium is to foster excellence in OC-related research by providing students with feedback and advice that are particularly relevant to their doctoral studies and career development. Each participant will take part in the colloquium organisation and the review process for the other participants. Keynote speakers will present current research in the field. They will be available during the OC-DDC and participate in the feedback process for the PhD students. Details on the keynote speakers will be available as soon as possible (see website). The schedule includes: - Prepare an extended abstract or short paper of 6 pages (max.) reflecting your PhD concept - Participate in the review process - Participate in the (supervised) decision process (acceptance of submissions) - Present your work to an audience consisting mainly of other PhD students from your community - Identify points of contact between your work and others - Build your social research network - Meet experts in your research domain and listen to their invited talks and expertise - Enjoy the opportunity to improve your PhD work, overcome stipulations and learn from the experts PhD students are invited to participate by submitting an extended abstract of up to 6 pages (written in English, in Springer's LNCS style). The colloquium will give participants the opportunity to present their ongoing research in a friendly forum. They will obtain valuable feedback from colloquium attendees in a constructively critical and informal atmosphere. After the OC-DDC, each participant will be invited to prepare a book chapter for an edited book. The book chapter will contain approx. 14 pages. For instance, the book of the DDC's 2021 edition is available at: https://dx.doi.org/doi:10.17170/kobra-202202215780 ==* Important Dates *== - Doctoral Dissertation Abstract Submission Deadline: April 15th, 2024 (extended) - Review Deadline: April 30th, 2024 - Colloquium Dates: June 13th-14th, 2024 ==* Submission *== - Submission of 6 pages extended abstract (or short paper) - Via EasyChair using the following link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ocddc2024 ==* Colloquium Details *== - Participation cost (includes lunch, drinks, book publication, etc.): tba - Participants have to organise travel and accommodation themselves ==* Invited Keynote Speakers *== - tba ==* Organisation *== - Christian Krupitzer (Universität Hohenheim, Germany) - Sven Tomforde (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany) ==* Local Organisation *== - Mathias Pacher (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany) - Uwe Brinkschulte (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany) ==* Publication Chair *== - Elia Henrichs (Universität Hohenheim, Germany) ==* Advisory Committee *== - Jörg Hähner (Universität Augsburg, Germany) - Christian Müller-Schloer (Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany) - Bernhard Sick (Universität Kassel, Germany)

Extended Deadline: Special Track on Organic Computing @ ARCS 2024
by Elia Henrichs 07 Mar '24

*** NEW DEADLINE: March 17, 2024 *** ==================== Special Track on Organic Computing at the 37th GI / ITG International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS 2024) Potsdam, Germany, May 14-16, 2024 <https://arcs-conference.org/organic-computing> https://arcs-conference.org/organic-computing ==================== # Aims and Scope Organic Computing postulates to equip technical systems with `lifelike properties. Technically, this means to move traditional design-time decisions to runtime and into the responsibility of systems themselves. As a result, systems have a dramatically increased decision freedom that leads to highly autonomous behaviour. The goal of this process is to allow for self-adaptation and self-improvement of system behaviour at runtime. Especially since conditions that occur at runtime can only be anticipated to a certain degree, efficient mechanisms are needed that guide the systems behaviour even in cases of missing knowledge or uncertain environmental states. Consequently, the research field of Organic Computing investigates fundamental principles, discusses essential aspects and researches novel methods that are needed to finally build self-adaptive and self-organising systems that are capable of reliable operation in complex real-world environments. The ARCS conferences series has over 35 years of tradition reporting leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. The focus of the 2024 conference will be on challenges for sustaib´nabilty in high-performance computing and their impact on the whole system stack spanning from hardware layer to the software layer. Within the scope of the ARCS main conference, the special track on `Organic Computing focusses on developments and open challenges in the field of self-adaptive and self-organising systems embedded in real-world environments. Contributions will be part of the conference proceedings. The proceedings of ARCS 2024 are planned to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. The conference will be a physical meeting with a social program in Potsdam, Germany. To ensure a safest possible meeting for all participants, the organisation committee of ARCS will monitor the Corona situation closely and will take all necessary protection steps following government guidelines as well as extra measures as needed. # Topics of interest ... are on a wide range of aspects of Organic Computing, including (but not limited to): A: Principles of OC Systems * System and Agent Architectures * Systems Engineering * Design Techniques and Processes * Nature-Inspiration to Deal with System Complexity * Self-x Properties and Lifelike Qualities * Self-Organisation Schemes for Highly Decentralised Systems B: Autonomous Learning Behaviour in Technical Systems * Reinforcement Learning from Interaction * Active Learning * Transfer Learning * Online Concept Drift/Shift and Novelty/Obsoleteness Detection * Transductive Inference for Efficient Model Building * Self-Awareness and Self-Reflection C: Self-Adaptation@Runtime * Adaptive Monitoring and Control * Mechanisms to deal with Continual Change * Robustness and Flexibility * Automated Algorithm (Re-)Configuration & Selection * Context-awareness and Transient Interfaces D: Metrics and Quantification * System Validation * Verification * Understanding and Explanation * Computational Trust * Testbeds and Performance Analysis E: Hardware Solutions * Adaptive Hardware * Reconfigurable Hardware * Embedded AI * Self-Adaptive, Self-Optimising, Self-Healing Hardware * Evolvable Hardware * Prototypes and Demonstrators F: Applications of OC Technology * Novel Use Cases * Case Study Reports * Experience Reports # Important Dates Paper submission deadline: February 29, 2024 March 7, 2024 March 17, 2024 (extended) Notification of acceptance: March 28, 2024 Camera-ready papers: May 2, 2024 Conference: May 14 16, 2024 # Organisation of the special track * Anthony Stein (University of Hohenheim) * Sven Tomforde (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel) * Stefan Wildermann (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)
