One of the most distinguishing requirements upon Information and
Communication Technologies is today's ever-changing, highly open dynamic
environments in which large-scale ICT systems are situated to operate.
Challenges for ICT systems engineering immediately arise including,
e.g., systems scalability, systems ultra-dependability, systems
convergence against uncertainty and emergence, and so forth. In recent
years, emergence, adaptation, self-organization, self-management, etc.
have received extensive interests in both academics and industries of
software, computing and communications.
CODS'11 conference aims to provide an international forum for the
researchers and practitioners in the related subject areas to exchange
research results, experiences, as well as the visions of the future and
the scientific and practical problems that challenge the current
technology development.
