SORT 2015 - 6th IEEE Workshop on Self-Organizing Real-Time Systems

Self-Organization is a key technique to handle the growing complexity of upcoming computing systems. This refers to both hard- and software. Distributed systems running hundreds of tasks on dozens of processors, each equipped with a multiple cores, require self-organization principles to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Therefore, substantial research has been done in the last years to address the so-called Self-X features like self-configuration, self-optimization, self-adaptation, self-healing, self-protection, etc.
Additionally, real-time properties are another key issue in many complex systems (e.g., in the embedded systems area). Combining the flexible and - to some extent - uncertain behavior of self-organizing systems with time-predictability necessary for real-time systems is a grand challenge.
Continuing the series of its predecessors, the 6th IEEE workshop on Self-Organizing Real-Time Systems (SORT 2015) will be a forum for leading researchers to continue in exchanging ideas, presenting advances in state-of-the-art and brain-storming on promising directions for future research. This year's edition of SORT will put a special focus on Concurrency and Computation: Experience and Practice.
