APICSS 2016 - 1st Workshop on Autopoiesis Perspective on Information, Communication and Social Systems (APICSS’16)

The main scope of the workshop is to present the latest advances of autopoietic systems in heterogeneous fields.
The workshop would cover the whole range of theoretical and practical aspects, technologies and systems, and its aim is to bring together specialists to exchange ideas and promote fruitful discussions on:
self-organizing into desirable structure and patterns;
self-configuration following high level specification;
self-optimization to adapt to changing environment without direct human input;
self-healing to recover from faults;
self-protection against malicious attacks.
