MISSION OF IJARAS:

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible
publication in the *International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and
Autonomic Systems.** *The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide
worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to
design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark
adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are
built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite
the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures
in their infrastructure and the surrounding environments. IJARAS has
multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to
technological aspects.
IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The
awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as
adaptive systems constantly re-optimizing in view of changes both
exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal
assets). It introduces a problem, which implies a research direction – a
thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating
through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated
research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and
business process re-engineering are regarded as special cases of a
larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to
cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a
powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in
this area.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS:

Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to)
the following:

* Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design,
express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems;
* Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to
withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments;
* Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance;
* Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express
strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation;
* Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce
optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance,
safety, and security;
* Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all
system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability;
* Resilience engineering;
* Autonomic business process execution;
* Adaptive service-oriented computing;
* Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing,
resilience, and adaptive systems;
* Recovery-oriented computing;
* Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive
user interfaces;
* Adaptive fault-tolerance;
* Adaptive fault-masking;
* Adaptive data integrity;
* Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics;
* Adaptive and context-aware multimedia;
* Personalization;
* Adaptive data mining;
* Adaptive fault models;
* Adaptive system models;
* Adaptive routing;
* Autonomic applications;
* Architecture-based adaptation;
* Self-* systems.

SUBMITTING TO IJARAS:

Prospective authors should note that only original and previously
unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT
