[Tccc] Workshop: Engineering Interactive Cloud-Based Systems, Berlin, June 20th, 2010

Engineering Interactive Cloud-Based Systems Workshop

Berlin, June 20th, 2010

In conjunction with ACM SIGCHI Symposium on

Engineering Interactive Computing Systems

Autonomic Computing arose to address issues of complex systems
configuration. However research and applications of Autonomic Computing
have spread to other areas. This workshop seeks to investigate and
extend the introduction of adaptable decision processes within complex
and adaptive interactive systems with mixed initiatives to reduce
software-maintenance complexity and allow for quicker updates of current
best practice by the instantaneous, distributed deployment of decision
models via Cloud computing technology. The workshop will attempt to
bring together researchers from HCI and Autonomic Computing in order to
address the needs of distributed, adaptive systems both for the
designers of such systems and their users

The workshop will require the submission of a 2-4 pages position paper.
Papers will be assessed for the timeliness, quality and relevance of
their research to the workshop topic. Accepted papers will be posted on
the web and authors invited to read the submissions to promote
pre-workshop discussions. The organisers will generate a summary paper
bringing out the main points of the submissions. We expect these
pre-workshop activities will generate a list of research topics and
challenges. We will identify key issues raised for further discussion at
the workshop.

The workshop will seek to build upon advances made on recently completed
projects in the field of HCI with large scale. For example, 2Nrich
(www.cms.livjm.ac.uk/2nrich/), reporting on the effectual limits of
current self-* tools and techniques to support self-organisation for
autonomic computing in e-Healthcare and/or addressing the future
direction of autonomic computing and its continuing relevance to
emerging trends, architectures and technologies at larger scales.
Original research work is sought reporting on advances in (and/or limits
of) the state-of-the-art in autonomic and self-organising computer
science at large-scales, such as seen in Cloud computing, for
interaction. Topics of interest are listed in the call, below.

* Foundational elements of autonomic computing systems and how
they support interactive systems design.

* Global service modelling, design, deployment, and management of
service-oriented computing systems for HCI via a computational Cloud.

* Self-organisation and the principles of emergent outcome for
large assemblies of services, applications, etc. in supporting adaption
to users' needs.

* Security, trust and social issues in systems where privacy is a
vital concern, such as e-Health applications, and their autonomic
systems subject to emergent self-organisation.

* Comparison of centralised autonomic computing vs. decentralised
emergent self-organising approaches in providing a transparent and
seamless human-computational Cloud interaction whatever the context.

* Languages and tools to support autonomic response via
self-organisation.

* Biological and economic inspired interaction mechanisms:
catallaxy, stigmergy, swarm intelligence, etc.

* Novel architectures, frameworks, tools and techniques exploiting
scientific principles for autonomic computing

Please send position papers to d.england@ljmu.ac.uk by March 15, 2010.
Notification of acceptance will be March 29, 2010
