WS2 : Adaptive Host and Network Security
-----------------------------------------
To be held on the 14th September 2012
Over the past decade the treat of cyber attacks on critical commercial
and government infrastructure has been growing at an alarming rate to a
point where it is now considered to be a major threat in the world.
Current approaches to cyber security involve building fast-growing
multi-million line systems that attempt to detect and remove attacking
software. Meanwhile, cyber exploits continue to multiply in number, but
their size continues to be a couple of hundred lines of code. This
disparity of effort means that the current defensive approaches to cyber
security can at best fight a holding action. The workshop is intended to
explore game-changing approaches to cyber security that focus on
adaptation. There is a clear need to develop systems at both the host
level and the network level to actively adapt to cyber attacks and to
provide greater protection for networked computation at all levels.
The format for this full day workshop is to have a number of short paper
presentations, thematically organized discussion and panel sessions, and
one invited speaker.
The significance of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
different areas such as networking, programming languages, computer
hardware, and operating systems to gain broad insights into specific
research issues related to adaptive host and network security, and to
foster discussions about ongoing research, establish directions for
future research and collaborations, and identify best practices for
adaptive security.

WS3: Secure Autonomous Electric Power Grids Workshop
-----------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 10th September 2012
Electric energy grids worldwide are becoming smarter and more adaptive
to efficiently bring power from a wide variety of production
technologies to a broad consumer base. With this increase in complexity
and adaptivity we see an ever-increasing demand for predictable power
availability and cost-optimizing control of power consumption (and local
generation where available) among consumers. "Security" in the grid has
many dimensions, from protecting national resources against human
adversaries to simply guaranteeing the availability of power to
customers. This workshop is concerned with creating autonomous electric
power grids that are secure in all senses of the word.

WS4: Institutions for Sustainable, Smarter and Protective Infrastructure
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 14th September 2012
In an increasingly inter-connected world, where all things are dependent
on one another, small local perturbations can have complex effects on a
global scale. This is particularly true for urban and rural
infrastructure and resources, such as water, transport, electricity,
etc. These infrastructures and resources are all maintained and
regulated by one or more institutions, designed and used by government
bodies, non-governmental organisations or private companies.
Increasingly, the success of these institutions is dependent on both the
engagement of citizens, evidence-based policy making and the leverage of
computational intelligence to achieve intended global outcomes from
micro-level interactions. The unpredictability of events and their
consequences demands institutions which are more adaptive, more
responsive, more pro-active and more coordinated in their behaviour when
dealing with local crisis management. Due to the inter-connection of
human and electronic decision making, solutions for optimising both
parts are required, moreover it is very important to consider the
ability (and willingness) of humans to adapt to the new infrastructure
and vice versa. These are essential aspects of delivering smarter
infrastructure for promoting security and supporting sustainability,
from both an economical and ecological perspective. This workshop will
be of concern to anyone interested in autonomic and self-organising
systems in human and electronic institutions, organisation and
enterprises, with applications to critical infrastructure like water,
transport, electricity and so on.

WS5: Technologies for the Organisation, Adaptation and Simulation of
Transportation Systems (TOAST)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 14th September 2012
Year after year we are witnessing an increasing mobility of people and
goods around the globe, from everyday commuting, to holiday trips, food
and good distribution, and transportation related to ageing and public
health, among many others. All this trips can be made by many different
means of transportation (airplanes, public transport, private cars, car
pooling, public bicycles, etc.), each of them with its own
characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. As a consequence, the
management of the transportation system as a whole becomes a very
complex task, and it requires a better knowledge of users' travels and
behaviours as well as their interactions with their environment. To
carry out this work, modeling methods and simulation tools are playing
an increasingly importance for infrastructure design, network operation
and new mobile services. In addition, the increasing pressure to
mitigate the climate change has a major impact on logistics, and
companies world-wide must rethink their distribution strategies to
reduce their carbon footprint.
In light of this, self-adaptive and self-organising systems seem to be
very appropriate. On one hand, self-adaptive systems allow the
transportation systems to continuously adapt and cope with the dynamism
of the environment (changing traffic conditions, dynamic demand,
accidents, etc.). On the other hand, self-organising systems let the
different involved actors to organise themselves, trying to achieve
their goals without the need of a central authority forcing them to
adopt a given behaviour. Also, the design of urban development and
deployment of digital services can be expressed as of complex and self-*
systems by the number and nature of the entities involved, their
interactions and their respective dynamics.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners
together in order to set up visions on how methods and tools can be used
for ground transportation applications.

WS6: Second International Workshop on Socio-Aware Networked Computing
Systems (SocioAware 2012)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 10th September 2012
The workshop seeks to shed light on the question how the increasing
pervasion of technical infrastructures with social aspects affects the
engineering of reliable and scalable networked computing systems. A
particular focus will be laid upon the question how the ongoing trend
towards a rigorous mathematical modeling of self-organization processes
in social systems (for instance in the language of complex networks,
dynamical systems and random matrix theory) can influence and inspire
the design of distributed algorithms, network topologies and
communication protocols, resulting in what may be called socio-aware
networked computing systems.

WS7 : Evaluation of Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems - Tools,
Techniques and Case studies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 10th September 2012
Self-adaptive and self-organizing systems are, by nature, systems that
operate and adapt under dynamic circumstances. Evaluating solutions to
dynamic problems is particularly complicated:
- solutions to dynamic problems need to take into account various
(and sometimes conflicting) objectives, including timeliness of
adaptation, overheads (for computation and communication), tolerance of
disruption , etc.
- approaches for on-line algorithms, such as K-competitive analysis,
may not be suitable since these require a notion of an optimal solution
- a notion hard to define for dynamic solution techniques
- comparing self-organizing solutions to their static counterpart is
not always a fair comparison. Comparing a distributed or decentralized
solution, which needs to account for extra communication to allow the
system to scale with an off-line algorithm, is unfair.
- comparing adaptive (i.e. self-adaptive or self-organizing)
solutions is hard, because they have been driven with non-functional
requirements and requirements such as reliability, stability or system
lifetime may be more important than performance efficiency.
Additionally, but related to these challenges, there are relatively few
(and in some cases no) benchmark suites or codes for dynamic scenarios
to work with.
In short, disciplined approaches to allow us to reason and study the
qualities of SASO systems are required.
This workshop aims to bring together a variety of researchers in the
SASO, autonomic computing and cyber physical systems areas, to discuss
these topics. The workshop will solicit experience reports, theoretical
work, position statements, and other research contributions.

WS8: 2nd AWARE workshop on Challenges for Achieving Self-Awareness in
Autonomic Systems
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 10th September 2012
The goal of the workshop is to identify key challenges involved in
creating self-aware systems which are capable of autonomous management,
and consider methods by which these challenges can be addressed. The
workshop specifically targets an interdisciplinary community of
researchers in the hope that collective expertise from a range of
domains can be leveraged to drive forward research in the area.

WS9: First International Workshop on Adaptive Service Ecosystems: Nature
and Socially Inspired Solutions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held on the 10th September 2012
Emerging distributed computing scenarios (mobile, pervasive, and social)
are characterised by intrinsic openness, decentralization, and dynamics.
According, the effective deployment and execution of distributed
services and applications calls for open service frameworks promoting
situated and self-adaptive behaviours, and supporting diversity in
services and long-term evolvability. This suggests adopting
nature-inspired and/or socially-inspired approaches, in which services
are modelled and deployed as autonomous individuals in an ecosystem of
other services, data sources, and pervasive devices. Accordingly, the
self-organizing interactions patterns among components and the resulting
emerging dynamics of the system, as those of natural systems or of
social systems, can inherently exhibit effective properties of
self-adaptivity and evolvability.
Although many initiatives (like those named upon digital/business
service ecosystems) recognise that the complexity of modern service
systems is comparable to that of natural ecosystems, the idea that
nature - other than a mean to metaphorically characterize their
complexity - can become the source of inspiration for their actual
modelling and implementation is only starting being metabolised. The
goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners,
with the aims of unfolding the many challenges related to the modelling,
design and implementation of adaptive service ecosystems in natural and
social terms, and identifying promising approaches and solutions.
