SCOPE
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers with a shared interest in the topic of designing and developing self-organising clouds. Specifically, we are interested in papers from researchers making use of self-organisation techniques to address the problems emerging from the confluence of issues in the emerging cloud: rising complexity and energy costs, problems of management and efficiency of use, the need to efficiently deploy services to a growing community of non-specialist users and the need to facilitate solutions based on heterogeneous components.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Approaches to service provision
- Approaches to decentralised self management
- Approaches to incorporate and exploit heterogenous resources
- Ways to minimize performance degradation caused by virtualization
- Options for multiple HPC software stacks and HPC middleware combinations
- Support for larger collections of affordable, pay-as-you-go HPC applications
- Methods to dramatically lower prices for HPC users
- Use cases and proofs of concept for self organising cloud
- Foundational concepts
- Innovative Algorithms for Self-organization in the Cloud
- Definition, Modelling and Verification of Properties of Cloud based Self-organising Systems
- Constructive Methods for Self-organizing Systems in the Cloud
- Software Engineering Approaches to Building Self-organising Cloud Components
- Architectural Frameworks and Run-time Systems for Self-organizing Clouds
- Enhancing and Augmenting Cloud Systems with Self-organizing Components and Services
- Analytical Methods for Self-organization in the cloud
- Evaluation
- Assurance, Verification and Validation
- General Application Areas
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Cyber-physical Systems
- Mobile Computing
- Service-oriented Systems
- Dependable Cloud Computing
- Smart User Interfaces
- Genome Processing
- Ray Tracing
- Artifacts and Evaluations
- Model Exemplars
- Artifacts to Compare Self-organizing Approaches
- Experiences with Self-organizing Systems Solving Real-world Problems in the Cloud
