WACA aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore and compare different approaches to architectural adaptation in Cloud systems. The workshop focuses on adaptive strategies that extend beyond traditional scaling mechanisms, investigating architectural modifications in response to: - evolving user requirements; - service load fluctuations (including both legitimate traffic increases and security threats); - infrastructure failures (machine outages, external service disruptions, etc.). To facilitate meaningful comparisons between different approaches, we provide a reference case study based on an adaptable version of TeaStore. This common ground enables participants to demonstrate their methods and technologies in a comparable environment. We invite submissions addressing, but not limited to: - Modeling approaches for adaptive Cloud architectures - Implementation techniques for adaptation mechanisms - Runtime verification of adaptation properties - Performance analysis of adaptation strategies - Security considerations in architectural adaptation - Tools and frameworks supporting Cloud architecture adaptation Papers should present contributions related to the workshop themes, preferably demonstrated through the provided case study scenarios. We strongly encourage submissions to include supporting artifacts that complement the paper's contributions. Detailed submission instructions are available on the workshop website https://waca-ws.github.io/2025 The workshop itself does not have proceedings, but we will invite contributors to refine their work for the publication of the workshop post-proceedings that will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

This competition provides an opportunity to showcase and compare innovative approaches in auction bidding and transportation scheduling. To participate, please visit: https://jbuerman.github.io/Maritime-Shipping-Competition-AAMAS2025/ About the Competition Maritime transportation is one of the backbones of international trade and supply chains. While the sector has shown growth in recent years, maritime transportation is also facing critical challenges around geopolitical tensions, climate change and disruptions at key chokepoints, e.g. the Panama and the Suez Canals. Shipping companies are investigating digital solutions, including digital twin and multi-agent technologies, to improve fleet utilisation, e.g. via transportation scheduling, to reduce costs but also greenhouse gas emissions. Many of these digital solutions are in their infancy and could benefit from innovative applications of approaches from multiagent system, artificial intelligence, scheduling, auction bidding and related technologies. The competition will require to develop a software agent in Python that operates the trade auctions and fleet transmutation scheduling for a maritime shipping company. Participating will allow you to compete for prizes. We will run a warm-up competition to get early feedback and a final competition with results being presented at AAMAS.

By seamlessly integrating resources across the edge, fog, and cloud, this paradigm enhances data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy efficiency, and other non-functional properties. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, allowing applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, the Compute Continuum also introduces fine-grained adaptation actions tailored to specific infrastructure components (e.g., optimizing energy consumption or leveraging specialized hardware such as GPUs, FPGAs, and TPUs). These capabilities unlock significant benefits, including support for latency-sensitive applications, reduction of network bandwidth consumption, improved privacy protection, and enable the development of novel services across domains such as smart cities, healthcare, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. To fully harness the potential of the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is essential. This calls for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for the Compute Continuum - Orchestration, deployment, and management of resources and applications in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Function-as-a-Service and Backend-as-a-Service in the Compute Continuum - Energy-efficient and carbon-aware solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - Lightweight virtualization for the Compute Continuum - AI-driven optimization and AI-related workloads in the Compute Continuum (e.g., federated, distributed, decentralized learning) - Scalable applications for the Compute Continuum (e.g., IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data processing and analytics in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Heterogeneous hardware acceleration and domain-specific architectures - Workflows in the Compute Continuum - Convergence and integration of HPC and Continuum platforms - Resilience and fault-tolerant strategies for the Compute Continuum - Benchmarks, reproducibility frameworks, and real-world experimental platforms * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.

Different investigation topics are involved, such as: Component Based Software Engineering, Web service, cloud applications, mobile applications, Functional and non-functional requirements (QoS, performance, resilience), monitoring, diagnosis, decision and execution of adaptation and reconfiguration. Different research areas are covered: concepts, methods, techniques, and tools to design, develop, deploy and manage adaptive and reconfigurable software systems. The concept of adaptive and reconfigurable software systems has been introduced in order to describe architectures, which exhibit such properties. An adaptive and reconfigurable software system can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution, while respecting functional and non-functional agreements. In the design of an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. For instance, the system should be able to predict or to detect degradations and failures as soon as possible and to enact suitable recovery actions. -----Topics For this workshop, contributions are devoted to functional and non-functional adaptability and reconfiguration management in service-oriented and component-based software systems. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to: Distributed and centralized collaborative solutions for the diagnosis and repair of software systems Design for the diagnosability and repairability Collaborative Management of Non-Functional requirements (quality, security, robustness, availability) Monitoring simple and composite architectures, components and services Semantic (or analytic) architectural and behavioral models for monitoring of software systems Dynamic reconfiguration of cloud and mobile applications Collaborative planning and decision making Collaborative technologies for ensuring autonomic properties Predictive management of adaptability Collaborative Management of autonomic properties Experiences in practical adaptive and reconfigurable applications Tools and prototypes for managing adaptability of applications IoT and cyber physical systems -----Paper Submission The workshop invites two types of submissions: Full research and experience papers, the length of full/experience workshop papers shall be maximum 16 pages (including figures, references, etc.). Short and position papers, presenting promising preliminary results from work-in-progress or research challenges, the length of short papers shall be maximum 8 pages plus 2 pages only for references. All contributions must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style. Contributions need to be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair. Papers follow a single-blinded reviewing process and must contain original unpublished work, describe significant novel contributions, and provide evidence about the validation of the results. Authors must upload their paper as PDF file using the EasyChair submission system. -----Workshop chairs Ismael Bouassida Rodriguez, ReDCAD, University of Sfax, Tunisia Nesrine Khabou, ReDCAD, University of Sfax, Tunisia Khalil Drira, LAAS-CNRS, Univ Toulouse, France From johannes.koch at rptu.de Thu Mar 27 11:02:21 2025 From: johannes.koch at rptu.de (Johannes Koch) Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:02:21 +0000 Subject: [Event@CIG] Call for Papers - The 28th Forum on specification and Design Languages (FDL) References: <87D1C47A-8652-4B06-8BF5-E896CB7E133F@rptu.de> Message-ID: <21A861EA-3B4F-45B6-B5D9-CDEF2006A9A9@rptu.de> ############################################################################ FDL - Forum on specification & Design Languages September 10-12, 2025 Schlo?

IMPORTANT DATES (all deadlines 23:59 Anywhere on Earth) - Special Session proposals: April 18, 2025 - Paper Submission Deadline: May 2, 2025 - Author Notification: June 20, 2025 - Ph.D. Forum deadline: July 19, 2025 - Camera-ready submission: July 19, 2025 - Conference: September 10-12, 2025 - Ph.D. Forum: September 9, 2025 ABOUT FDL The 28th Forum on specification and Design Languages (FDL) is an international event where academics and industry researchers exchange results, experiences, advances, and new trends related to languages, tools, and techniques for developing software and hardware systems and combinations thereof. Targeted systems encompass cyber-physical systems, distributed systems, real-time systems, embedded systems, mechatronics, IoT, and reactive systems. FDL is covers the following four non-limiting scientific areas: - Languages: Domain-Specific Languages for software, execution platforms, allocations, environment, contracts, abstractions, and refinements are topics of interest, together with their associated design methods, frameworks, and tools, including support for collaborative modelling and model management; - Semantics: formal specifications, compilers, interpreters, typing, abstraction/refinement, are topics of interest, together with the underlying specification frameworks or new approaches for their specification, modelling, and model transformation; - Verification and Analysis: innovative static analyses, testing, debugging, model checking, machine learning-based analysis, or design space exploration with underlying models, tools, and frameworks; - Simulation: innovative simulation techniques, virtual prototypes, digital twins, collaborative simulation, hybrid simulations, or runtime abstraction/refinement are of interest, with special attention on the efficiency and correctness of simulations and their underlying tools and frameworks. Cross-fertilization between the above areas, in particular in the context of system engineering, is of great interest. Therefore, we welcome authors to submit manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to: - languages and formalisms in model-based system design for modelling, testing, verification, and simulation; - methods, techniques, architectures and tools to construct, operate and maintain Digital Twins in their broadest form; - languages for knowledge representation about system designs; - models of computations considering concurrency and time such as dataflow computing, synchronous and functional languages, event-based languages; - modelling languages and tools for modelling (cyber-)physical environments or networks; - formal methods and languages for modelling, specification, and verification; - system design for modern hardware architectures such as multi/manycore processors, and heterogeneous platforms, accelerators, including GPUs and FPGAs; - high-level hardware and software synthesis, virtual prototyping, and design space exploration; - modelling and programming languages for smart contracts and distributed ledger technologies; - case studies from typical application areas such as healthcare, automotive, Industry 4.0, etc. PAPER CATEGORIES FDL stimulates scientific and controversial discussions within and between scientific topics at different maturity levels. The following categories of papers are welcome and will be published with IEEE Xplore after an oral presentation at the conference: - Research Papers: original papers with clear research contributions and evaluation (8 pages plus references). - Special Session Papers: call for organizing special sessions on a specific topic (2-page session proposals). Papers within the special session follow the same peer review and publishing process as for research papers (8 pages plus references). - Wild-and-Crazy-Idea Papers: papers with well-explained fundamentally new ideas without rigorous evaluation (4 pages plus references). - Work-in-progress Abstracts: submission of extended abstracts (2 pages including references) describing ongoing work where final results are not yet available but where potential solutions will be discussed at the conference. - Tool Papers: papers about new tools, their methods and successful case studies (6 pages plus references). In contrast to research papers, tool papers do not have to describe new research ideas, but rather present a solid implementation of existing methods that are made available to the community. Ph.D. Forum In addition to the above categories of papers, there will be a Ph.D. forum where Ph.D. students can present and discuss their work with experts in the area on September 9, 2025 right before the conference. Extended abstracts submitted to the Ph.D. forum should be no longer than 2 pages. The extended abstracts will *not* be published with IEEE, but will be made available to the attendees of the conference. There will also be a poster session at the conference for discussing the accepted abstracts with FDL attendees. SUBMISSION Authors should submit papers in double column, IEEE format as PDF through the submission system (see IEEE templates website https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html for required templates). All submitted papers must describe original, unpublished work and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Initial submissions shouldbe double-blind (to avoid initial bias), but author names may become available to reviewers during discussion and before the final decision. Submission of papers is handled by EasyChair under the following link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=fdl2025 For further details, please see https://fdl-conference.com.
