Workshop Scope
--------------
IWSOS 2008 is the third workshop in a series of annual workshops
dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems.
The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is
caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future
networked systems, like the future Internet. For example, these
networks will consist of interconnected infrastructure-based, mobile
ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in
hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially
short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user
requirements, such as resilience and real-time guarantees. Although
self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is
not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited.
Research into networked systems has recently started to
systematically investigate self-organization, which has lead to a
multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known
self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked
systems has to be investigated, as well as adaptations and novel
approaches inspired by, e.g., cooperation in nature and evolutionary
dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating
from areas like feedback control and complex system's research, are
required for these networked systems in order to analyze their
controllability and emergent behavior. Aspects of engineering
self-organizing networked systems should be studied that discuss
paradigms like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for
deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role
of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its
architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of
self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and
vehicular ad-hoc networks.
Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at
bringing together leading international researchers to create a
visionary forum for investigating the potential of self-organization
for networked systems by including the following key topics (not a
restricted list):
* Self-organization and self-management
* Self-configuration and self-optimization
* Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing
* Autonomic networking principles and practice
* Control theory based models and approaches of self-organization
* Feedback control in networked systems
* Group-forming networks and techniques
* Programmable and cognitive networks for self-organization
* Visualization of network system state
* Inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society
(e.g., bio-inspired or based on game theory)
* Risks in self-organization and risk management techniques
* The (un-)controllability of self-organizing emergent systems
* Quality of Service / service level agreements and
self-organization
* Resilience, robustness, and fault tolerance for networked
systems
* Security in self-organizing networked systems
* Self-* sensor and ad-hoc networks
* Self-* techniques in peer-to-peer networks
* Self-organization of over- and underlays and in cross-layering
* Self-* networks and networked systems for ubiquitous computing
* Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence
* Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet
* Self-configuring place-and-play mobile networks
* Self-organizing vehicular ad-hoc networks
* Self-organizing multi-service networks and multi-network
services
* Methods for configuration and management of large, complex
networks
* Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network
* The human in the loop of self-organizing networked systems
Important Dates
---------------
* Paper submission deadline (full papers): June 22, 2008
* Notification of acceptance (full papers): September 1, 2008
Initial Submission (full papers)
--------------------------------
IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts that present original
research results, and that have not been previously published
or are currently under review by another conference or journal.
Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material
should be explicitly noted in the submission. Submissions should
be full-length papers up to 10 pages using the LNCS style,
including all figures and references, and must include an abstract
of 100 - 150 words. All papers must be submitted in PDF format.
Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the
international TPC and judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness.
Accepted Full Papers
--------------------
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture
Notes for Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors
of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2008 to present the paper.
