CFPs for the Special Issue "Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation"
by christian.krupitzer＠uni-wuerzburg.de 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Dear Colleagues, We apologize if you received multiple CFPs for the Special Issue "Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation" ========================================== Special Issue "Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation" <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SeAC_EMSAC> https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SeAC_EMSAC ========================================== Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 October 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. More specifically, self-aware computing systems are understood as having two main properties. They (1) 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 (2) 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). They do so in accordance with high-level goals, which can change. This Special Issue addresses all facets of research in the area of self-aware computing systems, including fundamental science and theory, levels and aspects, architectures for individual and collective systems, methods and algorithms for model learning, self-adaptation in individual and collective systems, transition strategies for increasing self-awareness in existing systems, open challenges and future research directions, as well as applications and case studies. In this Special Issue, particular emphasis will be given to the evaluation of these systems, including objectives, metrics, tools, procedure, methodologies, reference systems, and benchmarks. Selected papers presented at the Workshop on Self-Aware Computing (SeAC) as well as the Workshop on Evaluations and Measurements in Self-Aware Computing Systems (EMSAC) are invited to submit their extended versions to this Special Issue of the journal Computers. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Accepted papers will be published in open access format in Computers and collected together on the Special Issue website. Conference papers should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper; authors are asked to disclose that it is a conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper. Please note that the submitted extended paper should contain at least 50% new content (e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases) and not exceed 30% copy/paste from the conference paper. Topics: - Self-aware computing systems - Self-adaptive systems - Evaluation of adaptive systems - Application of adaptive systems - Development support for adaptive systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dr. Christian Krupitzer Research Group Leader at the Chair of Computer Science II - Software Engineering held by Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Researchers from the humanities to physics, engaged in collaborative data- or compute-intensive research, are invited to attend. The objective of the eScience Conference is to promote innovation in collaborative, computationally- or data-intensive research across all disciplines, throughout the research lifecycle. Science in a digital world presents new opportunities and challenges. One of these challenges is keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in computer science. Furthermore, some scientific disciplines are well advanced in exploiting computational technologies and data science, while others are just scratching the surface. The aim of this conference is cross-fertilization across scientific disciplines, to advance science by fully exploiting the use of technology and cyberinfrastructure. Disciplines include, but are not limited to: life sciences, health research, digital humanities and social sciences, physics, chemistry, astronomy, climate, environmental science, and earth science. Digital technologies include, but are not limited to: machine learning, natural language processing, real time data analysis, interoperability and linked data, multi-scale and multi model simulations, high performance computing, workflow technologies, reproducibility, visualization, open science and image processing. The three-day conference program consists of two single track days open for all eScience contributions. This year, in addition to the main track, the conference offers focused tracks on Computing for Physics, eScience for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Smart Grid Measurement and Modeling, and Computer Science: Tools & Infrastructure. This call for papers is for full papers (10 pages) for oral presentations and short papers (2-4 pages) for poster presentations in all tracks of the conference, all in IEEE format. To be eligible for an oral presentation, you must submit the abstract of your full paper before Monday April 29, and your full paper before Monday May 6, 2019. Rejected full papers will also be considered for a poster presentation. All full and short papers are single-blind peer reviewed and if accepted published in the conference proceedings that will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. It is a requirement that at least one author of each accepted paper attends the conference. On the day prior to the conference there will be workshops and tutorials. Please refer to the call for workshops and call for tutorials separately. In addition, this year, eScience is co-located with the Gateways conference. The two conferences will offer a shared keynote, presentations about mutually interesting topics, and a shared evening reception, as well as opportunities for mingling during the breaks. Conference attendees will have the option to register for one or both conferences, in full or in part. These two audiences share interests, content, and culture, and we will announce further details of our collaboration in 2019. This is an opportunity to attend both events! We aim for a diverse audience. Therefore, we strongly encourage all researchers from all disciplines and backgrounds to submit: - state-of-the-art computer science work and demonstrate its application - research that shows the impact of computational technology and data sciences on science Paper Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit full conference papers (up to 10 pages excl. references) for an oral presentation using the IEEE 8.5 × 11 manuscript guidelines: double-column text using single-spaced 10-point font on 8.5 × 11 inch pages.
