After a successful and well received workshop, you can find the report and some impressions here online.
The abstract for our keynote “A Requirements-Driven and Context-Aware Approach to Assurance of Autonomous Systems” is now online.
We are happy to announce that the keynote for SeAC, EMSAC and SPS will be held by Betty H.C. Cheng.
SeAC will be a joint workshop with EMSAC (Evaluations and Measurements in Self-Aware Computing Systems) and SPS (Self-Protecting Systems).
The program for SeAC is now online.
Special Issue on “Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation” in the Computers Journal (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SeAC_EMSAC): The authors of the SeAC 2019 accepted papers will be invited to extend their contributions for the publication in this special issue.
SeAC 2019
During the past decade, many different research communities have explored the aspects of self-awareness in computing systems, each from their own perspective. Relevant work can be found in different areas including autonomic computing, self-adaptive and self-organizing software and systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, organic computing, context- and situation-aware systems, reflective computing, model-predictive control, as well as work from the models@run-time community.
The workshop on self-aware computing (SeAC) provides a forum for exchange of ideas and experiences in the interdisciplinary area of self-aware computing, fostering interaction and collaborations between the different research communities interested in self-aware computing systems. The workshop was initiated by the 2015 Dagstuhl Seminar 15041 on model-driven algorithms and architectures for self-aware computing systems, which brought together 45 international experts.
As proposed by the seminar and documented in a recent Springer book on the topic, self-aware computing systems are understood in a broad sense seeking to integrate the different ways in which this term is used in the interdisciplinary research landscape.
More specifically, self-aware computing systems are understood as having two main properties. They
»» learn models, capturing knowledge about themselves and their environment (such as their structure, design, state, possible actions, and runtime behavior) on an ongoing basis; and
»» reason using the models (to predict, analyze, consider, or plan), which enables them to act based on their knowledge and reasoning (for example, to explore, explain, report, suggest, self-adapt, or impact their environment)
and do so in accordance with high-level goals, which can change.
The workshop aims to raise the awareness about related research efforts in the different communities as well as synergies that can be exploited to advance the state of the art on self-aware computing.
For this year edition, we want to have a special theme on IoT topics.
