Dear Colleagues, We apologize if you received multiple CFPs for the Special Issue "Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation" ========================================== Special Issue "Applications in Self-Aware Computing Systems and their Evaluation" <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SeAC_EMSAC> https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/SeAC_EMSAC ========================================== Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 October 2019 During the past decade, many different research communities have explored the aspects of self-awareness in computing systems, each from their own perspective. Relevant work can be found in different areas, including autonomic computing, self-adaptive and self-organizing software and systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, organic computing, context- and situation-aware systems, reflective computing, model-predictive control, as well as work from the models@run-time community. More specifically, self-aware computing systems are understood as having two main properties. They (1) learn models, capturing knowledge about themselves and their environment (such as their structure, design, state, possible actions, and runtime behavior) on an ongoing basis; and (2) reason using the models (to predict, analyze, consider, or plan), which enables them to act based on their knowledge and reasoning (for example, to explore, explain, report, suggest, self-adapt, or impact their environment). They do so in accordance with high-level goals, which can change. This Special Issue addresses all facets of research in the area of self-aware computing systems, including fundamental science and theory, levels and aspects, architectures for individual and collective systems, methods and algorithms for model learning, self-adaptation in individual and collective systems, transition strategies for increasing self-awareness in existing systems, open challenges and future research directions, as well as applications and case studies. In this Special Issue, particular emphasis will be given to the evaluation of these systems, including objectives, metrics, tools, procedure, methodologies, reference systems, and benchmarks. Selected papers presented at the Workshop on Self-Aware Computing (SeAC) as well as the Workshop on Evaluations and Measurements in Self-Aware Computing Systems (EMSAC) are invited to submit their extended versions to this Special Issue of the journal Computers. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Accepted papers will be published in open access format in Computers and collected together on the Special Issue website. Conference papers should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper; authors are asked to disclose that it is a conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper. Please note that the submitted extended paper should contain at least 50% new content (e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases) and not exceed 30% copy/paste from the conference paper.
