Workshop "Software Engineering for Organic Computing (SE4OC)"
at
Software Engineering 2007 (SE2007),
the annual conference on software engineering
of the German Gesellschaft für Informatik
March, 29th - 2007
Software Engineering for Organic Computing:
Organic Computing systems are characterised by their ability to perform autonomously on given tasks. This is accomplished by using their self-x properties, e.g. self-adaption, self-optimisation and self-healing to adapt dynamically to changing requirements, modified tasks or occurring component failures. Due to ever increasing complexity of requirements, these paradigms will be of great interest for future industrial applications as they can render these requirements manageable.
The key innovation of such systems lies within intelligent control algorithms and adaptive software design. Therefore state-of-the-art software engineering is not only recommendable but mandatory for developing verifiable and controllable self-* systems.
The goal of this full-day workshop on Organic Computing at SE 2007 conference is to bring together Organic Computing scientists and Software Engineering researchers, to discuss engineering solutions for design, development and control of organic computing systems; and to investigate the interest of the concepts of organic computing for designing distributed systems.
Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Modelling self-x properties
- Description methods and tools for organic computing systems
- Software design methodology for adaptive systems
- Analysis and verification techniques
- Practical experience reports
- Qualitative and quantitative measurements
- (Self-)Optimisation techniques for distributed systems
- Emergent behaviour and emergent computing systems
- Model-driven system development for OC-systems
- Cognitive- Collaborative learning algorithms
The workshop topics include theoretical papers, experience results and case studies as well as tools/frameworks and software design approaches for organic computing systems.
