Subject: [HTCondor-users] APRES 2013 Call for Papers - 5th Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Embedded Systems
================================================================================ 5th Workshop on Adaptive and Reconfigurable Embedded Systems ================================================================================
Adaptive
systems can respond to environmental changes including usage
conditions, hardware/software defects, resource allocation, and
non-continual feature usage. As such, adaptive systems can extend the
area of operations and improve efficiency in the use of system
resources. However, adaptability also incurs overhead in terms of system
complexity and requirements, as a result the adaptive system needs
careful design and usage testing. More precisely, an adaptive system
requires means for reconfiguration that allows it to adapt to changes.
These means and their mechanisms introduce additional complexity to the
design and the architecture, and they also require additional resources
such as computation, power, and also communication bandwidth for
distributed reconfiguration.
Moreover, to take advantage of
adaptability, new specification methods are needed, to define acceptable
adaptation ranges which will be explored by the system at run-time to
improve a given performance metric. However, current operating systems
and network protocols are not designed to support such flexible
requirements, and generally do not support complementary reflexive
mechanisms that are needed to allow the application to adjust itself to
the current configuration. Finally, programming such systems also needs
adequate middleware layers that provide adequate interfaces for the
development of adaptive applications. Building such middleware so that
it preserves adaptability while providing performance guarantees
together with satisfying other usual goals, such as modularity,
reusability and scalability, is a challenge still to be conquered.
This
workshop brings together researchers in the development and use of
adaptive and reconfigurable embedded systems and from the embedded
systems community at large. Of particular interest are new concepts and
ideas for modeling and analyzing tradeoffs of embedded and real-time
systems, novel algorithms and mechanisms to realize adaptation and
reconfigurability, and experience reports with practical case studies.
================================================================================ Topics ================================================================================
Any
topics of interest to embedded, real-time and dependable systems
research in the areas of systems, languages, software, theory,
networking, control and analysis with specific focus on
reconfigurability and adaptivity.
