Sunday 10th June – Saturday 16th June 2012, Edinburgh, UK
Arrive by Sunday 10th June night for an early Monday morning start. There will be a welcome party on the Sunday night at 7-8 pm for introductions.
Everyone needs to be present on Friday 15th afternoon for team presentations and there will be a party afterwards (which we hope everyone will stay for). Saturday 16th June is a travel home day, with people leaving when they want.
This is an active and participative summer school with great social events and networking opportunities included. You will learn a lot and have great fun!
Aimed at graduate/PhD students, and researchers from different disciplines, this summer school will cover theoretical, practical, and technological issues related to autonomic self-awareness and its various facets. Managing systems is increasingly becoming more challenging. Different devices, heterogeneous platforms and different programming models can now be connected into a single system, and devices are increasing in technological complexity. These factors not only make systems unmanageable but lead to systems exhibiting unplanned behaviours. To counter this, systems must become self-aware, exhibiting context-awareness at an internal and external level.
Topics include:
- Self-organising and self-adaptive systems
- Pervasive computing technologies
- Security and socio/economic aspects of autonomic computing
The Summer School activities will include:
- Keynote talk by Maarten van Steen
- Presentations by Alberto Lluch Lafuente, Jim Torresen, Andrea Guazzini, Jon Timmis, Giovanna di Marzo, Serge Kernbach ( view details here )
- 4 case studies for the team assignments), one for each of the Awareness projects (Andrea Vandin for Ascens, Jose Luiz Fernandez for Sapere, Arjun Chandra for Epics, Andrea Guazzini for Recognition)
- PhD poster session
- Plenty of opportunity for mentoring and workshop activities
- Team presentations and feedback
