2008<BR><BR>===========================<BR><BR>AIMS and
SCOPE:<BR><BR>Adaptability is considered as a critical enabling capability for
many <BR>software-based systems which must adapt themselves to changing
conditions in <BR>both the supporting computing and communication
infrastructure, as well as <BR>in the surrounding physical environment.<BR>A
software-based system which operates in changing environments need to
<BR>automatically adapt itself. It must always decide when an adaptation is
<BR>needed, what needs to be adapted and how an adaptation can be done. It must
<BR>evaluate its own behaviour and structure, changes them when the evaluation
<BR>indicates that it does not accomplish what it is intended to do or when
<BR>better functionality or better performance is possible. It must configure
<BR>and reconfigure itself, augment its functionality and continually optimize
<BR>itself.<BR>Therefore, the inherent properties of self-adaptive software pose
new <BR>challenges throughout software lifecycle. For examples, architects and
<BR>designers need new or specific architectural and design models and languages
<BR>supporting self-adaptive software process. Middleware and languages must
<BR>integrate adequate properties facilitating self-adaptive software
<BR>implementation. In addition, as a self-adaptive software operates always in
<BR>critical environment, it is necessary to be able to evaluate effects
<BR>generated by the self-adaptation process.<BR><BR>The goal of this workshop
is to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and <BR>discuss the state of the art of
approaches and results among researchers and <BR>practitioners who investigate
software engineering concepts, methodologies, <BR>and tools to design and evolve
self-adaptive software.<BR><BR>We are interested in submissions from both
industry and academia on all <BR>topics related to this
area.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
