Call for Papers
First International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive
Systems (CISIS-2007)
http://www.cisis-conference.eu/

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

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.
