Special Session on
Adaptation and Services: Agents, Methodologies and Applications
ASAMA 2018
http://www.icaart.org/ASAMA.aspx

Within the 10th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence
January 16 - 18, 2018
Funchal, Madeira - Portugal
http://www.icaart.org/

This special session will provide the opportunity to present and discuss research in the intersection between service-oriented engineering and self-adaptive systems. Whereas classical service orientation focuses on the development of software systems by composition of reusable services, self-adaptation proved to be effective for implementing robust and flexible applications. The theory and practice of self-adaptation may be used for handling dynamic environments and for granting continuity of services also in case of unexpected changes of the operative context.

TOPICS
The special session ASAMA invites submissions in the area of self-adaptive services. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Agents for:
* Self-organizing, configuring, managing services
* Adaptive orchestration and choreography
* Decentralized feedback loop
* Dynamic Holons and Holarchies

Methodologies for:
* Requirements elicitation techniques
* QoS Optimization Techniques
* Dynamic Architectures Definition

Applications:
* Dynamic Workflows
* Internet of Things
* Socio-technical systems
* Mobile and Cloud computing
* Robotics
* Smart spaces

The emergent field of Intelligent Distributed Computing focuses on the development of a new generation of intelligent distributed systems. It faces the challenges of adapting and combining research in the fields of Intelligent Computing and Distributed Computing. Intelligent Computing develops methods and technology ranging from classical artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and multi-agent systems to game theory. The field of Distributed Computing develops methods and technology to build systems that are composed of collaborating components. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers on all aspects of intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications.

Paper acceptance and publication will be judged on the basis of their relevance to the symposium themes, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions. Extended versions of the best papers accepted and presented at this symposium may be considered for publication in a Special Issue of an internationally recognised IF journal.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
