First International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software
Intensive Systems (CISIS-2007)
http://www.cisis-conference.eu/
April 10 - April 13, 2007
Vienna, Austria
#####################################################################
To be held in conjunction with: ARES-2007 International Conference
http://www.ares-conference.eu/
Aim
======
The aim of the conference is to deliver a platform of scientific
interaction between the three interwoven challenging areas of
research and development of future ICT-enabled applications:
- Software Intensive Systems
- Complex systems
- Intelligent Systems
Software Intensive Systems are systems which heavily deal with other
systems, sensors, actuators, devices, other software systems and
users. More and more domains are involved with software intensive
systems, i.e. automotive, telecommunication systems, embedded systems
in general, industrial automation systems, business applications. The
outcome of web services delivers a new platform for enabling software
intensive systems.
The conference will focus on tools, practically relevant and
heoretical foundations for engineering software intensive systems.
Complex Systems Research is focused on the overall understanding of
systems rather than its components. The ICT-enabling aspect of
Complex Systems is the focus of the contributions to be presented at
CISIS 2007. Complex Systems are very much characterised by the
changing environments in which they act and by their multiple
internal and external interactions. They evolve and adapt through
internal and external dynamic interactions.
The development of Intelligent Systems and agents which is more and
more characterised by the use of ontologies and their logical
foundations build a fruitful impulse for both Software intensive
Systems and Complex Systems.
Recent research in the field of intelligent systems robotics,
neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences- builds
an important factor for the future development and innovation of
software intensive and complex systems.
CISIS 2007 is aiming at delivering a forum for in-depth scientific
discussions amongst the three communities leading to significant
contributions in areas such as:
- Monitoring and Control of Large Systems or Environments.
- Managing the hetrogeneity of knowledge by means of ontologies
- Use of Sevice Oriented Architectures for complex applications in
business and industries
- The consideration of Software Intensive Systems as Complex Systems
- Enabling of Systems Biology concepts as software intensive conmplex
systems
- Knowledge management of complex IT-systems etc.
Scope
=========
Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different
kinds of systems with different characteristics are emerging and they
are integrating in heterogeneous networks. For these reasons, there
are many interconnection problems which may occur at different levels
in the hardware and software design of communicating entities and
communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage an
increasing usage demand, provide support for a significant number of
services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization
of network resources. Therefore, architectures and algorithms in
these networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus
on new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the
network to perform adaptive behaviors. Many new computing
technologies have emerged as new paradigms for solving complex
problems by enabling large-scale aggregation and sharing of
computational, data and other geographically distributed resources.
Rapid advances are being reported by many researchers and forums as
regards understanding numerous issues in such paradigms, from
theoretic to application aspects. Moreover, the continuous
development of Internet and the construction of new infrastructures
are making possible the development of large scale applications
from many fields of science and engineering.
To deal with complexity, we should construct physically instantiated
systems that can perceive, understand, and interact with their
environment but also evolve in order to achieve human-like
performance in activities requiring context-specific knowledge. This
is far beyond the current state of the art and will remain so for
many years to come. Therefore, many research efforts are required to
make headway towards this vision. The strategic challenges are
motivated by recent research in the field of intelligent systems
robotics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive
sciences.
In recent years, a large community of researchers has begun to
realize the importance of brain-body interaction for understanding
intelligence and its central role in a wide range of processes
including perception, object manipulation, movement, and high-level
cognition.
The research challenges include theoretical frameworks based on the
notions of embodiment, the dynamical systems metaphor, complete
agents rather than individual components, self-reconfiguration and
self-repair, morphology and development. Progress in the theoretical
underpinnings of embodied intelligence will have strong technological
implications in areas including robotics, actuator technology,
materials, self-assembling systems. Research in intelligent
and cognitive systems is an interdisciplinary field requiring the
cooperation of researchers from artificial intelligence, neuroscience
(including cognitive and computational), psychology (cognitive and
developmental), linguistics, developmental biology, robotics (and
engineering in general), biomechanics, and dynamical systems.
Software has become a central part of a rapidly growing range of
applications, products and services from all sectors of economic
activity. Systems in which software interacts with other software,
systems, devices, sensors and with people are called software-
intensive systems. Examples include large-scale heterogeneous
systems, embedded systems for automotive and avionics applications,
telecommunications, wireless ad hoc systems, business applications
with an emphasis on web services. Our daily activities increasingly
depend on complex software-intensive systems that are becoming ever
more distributed, heterogeneous, decentralized and inter-dependent,
and that are operating more and more in dynamic and often
unpredictable environments.
There exist different kinds of complexity in the development of
software. Software systems grew larger, the focus shifted from the
complexity of developing algorithms to the complexity structuring
large systems, and then to the additional complexities in building
distributed, concurrent systems. In the next ten to fifteen years we
will have to face another level of complexity arising from the
fact that systems have to operate in large, open and non-
deterministic environments: the complexity of knowledge, interaction
and adaptation. Instead of developing computer-oriented systems where
people have to adapt to the computer we have to develop human-
oriented systems into which computers integrate seamlessly. Also,
the requirements for software quality will dramatically increase. But
our current methods are not sufficient to deal with adaptive software
in a dynamic environment, especially not for large systems with
complex interactions. We need to develop practically useful and
theoretically well founded principles, methods and tools for
engineering future software-intensive systems.
All the complex systems depend on software that controls the behavior
of individual components and the interaction between components, and
on software which interacts with other software, systems, devices,
sensors and with people. In other words: they depend on software-
intensive systems.
