SEAMS 2013 - 8th International Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems

|| SEAMS 2013 ||
8th International Symposium on Software Engineering
for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems
May 20-21, San Francisco, USA
co-located with ICSE 2013
Call for Papers
SEAMS is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas,
innovations, trends and experiences in engineering software with self-managing and
self-adaptation features. These key features enable software systems to adapt at
run-time so they can cope with uncertainty. This uncertainty may be due to changes in
their operational environment, variability of resources, new user needs, intrusions,
and faults.
Solutions to complementing software systems with self-managing and self-adaptive
capabilities have been proposed by researchers in many different areas, including
software architecture, fault-tolerant computing, robotics, control systems,
programming languages, run-time program analysis and verification, and
biologically-inspired computing. This symposium focuses on software engineering
aspects, covering methods, techniques, and tools that support the design and runtime
operation of self-adaptive, self-protecting, self-healing, self-optimizing, and
self-configuring software systems.
SEAMS objective is to bring together researchers and practitioners from many of the
diverse areas that have an interest in adaptive software to investigate, discuss, and
examine thoroughly the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical
challenges of self-adaptive and self-managing systems.
Topics of Interest
We are interested in submissions from both industry and academia on all topics related
to self-adaptive and self-managing systems. These include, but are not limited to:
-- requirements elicitation techniques for self-adaptation
-- programming language support for self-adaptation
-- modeling and analysis of adaptive systems (e.g., run-time models, cost-benefit
analysis and models, etc.)
-- properties of self-adaptive systems
-- reuse support for self-adaptive systems (e.g., patterns, designs, code)
-- design and architectural support for self-adaptation
-- feedback control and algorithms for self-adaptation
-- support for run-time monitoring (for requirements, design, performance, etc.)
-- support for adaptation mechanisms for self-adaptive systems
-- self-repairing programs
-- evaluation and assurance for self-* systems
-- verification and validation of self-adaptive and self-managing software
-- decision-making strategies for self-adaptive and self-organizing systems
-- user-trust of self-adaptive and self-managing systems
-- model problems and exemplars
-- experiences with deployed self-adaptive and self-managing systems solving
science, engineering, business and society problems
The following application areas are of particular interest: mobile applications, cloud
computing, resource provisioning and optimization, smart applications and
cyber-physical systems, autonomic computing, problem determination including logging,
analysis and diagnostics, smart user interfaces, service-oriented systems, dependable
computing, autonomous robotics.
Paper Submission Details
We are soliciting two types of papers: long papers (up to 10 pages) and position
papers for new ideas (up to 6 pages). Long papers should either clearly describe
innovative and original research, or explain how existing techniques have been applied
to real-world examples. Position papers provide an opportunity to describe novel and
promising ideas and/or techniques that might not have been fully validated. All
submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Papers
must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Accepted
papers will appear in the symposium proceedings that will be published as ACM and IEEE
digital libraries.
Papers may be submitted at the following URL:
