Second CALL FOR PAPERS
==========================================================================

SASE 2008 :
International Workshop on Self-Adaptive Software Engineering

Athens (Greece), April 1,  2008
http://ocm.ensm-douai.fr/conf/SASE2008

Co-located with the 12th IEEE-CSMR 2008 - Athens (Greece), April 01-04, 2008
 http://csmr2008.uwaterloo.ca/

- Abstract submission: February 22, 2008
- Paper submission: February 26, 2008

===========================

AIMS and SCOPE:

Adaptability is considered as a critical enabling capability for many 
software-based systems which must adapt themselves to changing conditions in 
both the supporting computing and communication infrastructure, as well as 
in the surrounding physical environment.
A software-based system which operates in changing environments need to 
automatically adapt itself. It must always decide when an adaptation is 
needed, what needs to be adapted and how an adaptation can be done. It must 
evaluate its own behaviour and structure, changes them when the evaluation 
indicates that it does not accomplish what it is intended to do or when 
better functionality or better performance is possible. It must configure 
and reconfigure itself, augment its functionality and continually optimize 
itself.
Therefore, the inherent properties of self-adaptive software pose new 
challenges throughout software lifecycle. For examples, architects and 
designers need new or specific architectural and design models and languages 
supporting self-adaptive software process. Middleware and languages must 
integrate adequate properties facilitating self-adaptive software 
implementation. In addition, as a self-adaptive software operates always in 
critical environment, it is necessary to be able to evaluate effects 
generated by the self-adaptation process.

The goal of this workshop is to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and 
discuss the state of the art of approaches and results among researchers and 
practitioners who investigate software engineering concepts, methodologies, 
and tools to design and evolve self-adaptive software.

We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all 
topics related to this area.

===========================

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Architectural and design models and languages support for self-adaptive 
software
- Dynamic software architecture, middleware and languages for self-adaptive 
software
- Self-adaptation and self-evolution management and methodologies
- Variability representations and models for self-adaptive software
- Programming techniques for self-adaptive software: exception handling, 
reflection, aspect, etc.
- Paradigms for adaptive-software: object, component, service, agent, etc.
- Coordination models and languages for self-adaptive software
- Decision making techniques and models for self-adaptive software
- Injecting self-adaptation properties into legacy systems
- Formal notations for modelling and analysis of software self-adaptation
- Evaluation and assurance for self-adaptive systems
- Industrial and experience reports
- Surveys and case studies concerning all forms of embedded software, 
pervasive computing, operating systems and  middleware,  image and signal 
processing, etc.



===========================

IMPORTANT DATES:
- Abstract submission: February 22, 2008
- Paper submission: February 26, 2008
- Notifications of acceptance: March 8, 2008
- Camera ready submission: March 20, 2008

===========================

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We seek research papers and experience reports not exceeding 10 pages or 
short papers consisting of 3 or 4 pages.
Authors are invited to submit their contributions following the IEEE's two 
column format. 
The papers should be submitted electronically following  two phases 
(abstract and paper submissions) via SASE-08 workshop website 
(http://ocm.ensm-douai.fr/conf/SASE2008)

Submissions will be selected based on originality, novelty, and relevance to 
the workshop topics, as well as on their suitability for triggering 
discussions.

If there is any problem during submission please contact the workshop chair, 
Abdelhak-Djamel Seriai (seriai at ensm-douai.fr).
