Adaptive embedded systems can respond to environmental changes
including hardware/software defects, resource changes, and non-
continual feature usage. As such, adaptive systems can extend the area
of operations and improve efficiency in the use of system resources.
However, adaptability also incurs overhead in terms of system
complexity and resource requirements. For example, an adaptive system
requires some means for reconfiguration. These means and their
mechanisms introduce additional complexity to the design and the
architecture of the system, at the same time require additional
resources such as computation, power, and communication bandwidth.
Consequently, adaptive systems must be diligently planned, designed,
analyzed, and built to find the right tradeoffs between flexibility
and complexity.
A key challenge in the development of adaptive systems is how to
provide adaptability to the application, because it affects all
aspects of the development process (e.g., capturing, methodologies,
modeling, analysis, testing, and implementation), the chosen system
technologies (e.g., computation and communication models, interfaces,
component-based design, programming languages, dependability, and
design patterns) and the system itself (e.g., operating system,
middleware, network protocols, and application frameworks). Currently,
adaptability and its resulting tradeoffs are usually ignored until a
very late stage of the system development process. Existing systems
are often built by retrofitting existing prototypes, middleware,
operating systems, and protocols with concepts and means for
flexibility such as run-time system reconfiguration or reflexive
diagnostics and steering methods. Such retrofitting typically leads to
disproportionate overhead, unusual tradeoffs, and less satisfactory
results.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum to discuss
new and on-going research that is centered on the idea of adaptability
as first class citizen and that considers the involved tradeoffs. The
target audience includes researchers from academia, tool vendors,
system suppliers, and users in industry who are interested in the all
aspects of the topics mentioned below. The workshop will be based on
presentations of selected works with sufficient time for feedback from
the audience and discussions. We encourage all the prospective
participants to submit short papers, work-in-progress reports, or
position papers.

Topics
The following topics provide examples of what fits into the workshop,
however, the list is not exhaustive and submissions not precisely
falling into these categories are also welcome.
- Capturing and modeling of flexible application and reconfiguration
requirements
- Tradeoff analysis and modeling
- Programming-language support for adaptability
- Middleware support for adaptability
- Operating system support for adaptability
- Computation and communication models for adaptability
- Policies and algorithms for single and multi-resource reconfiguration
- Verification and certification of reconfigurable systems
- Case studies and success stories
- Taxonomies and comparative studies
- Diagnostic and steering of embedded systems
- System architecture and design patterns for adaptability
- Probabilistic reconfiguration techniques
- Scalability, reusability, and modularity of reconfiguration mechanisms
- Dependability and adaptability across the architectural levels
- Quality of service management
- Application frameworks for reconfigurable embedded systems
Submission Guidelines
Prospective participants should submit a 4 page paper in PDF format
through the submissions page referred below. The submissions should
conform to the proceedings publication format (IEEE Conference style).
They should explain the intention of the work, the prospective
results, and make clear the current status of the work. The
submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program
Committee. The papers will be published in a Proceedings volume that
will be available for download and print on the Internet, after the
event. A draft printout will be distributed at the workshop to all
participants.
The proceedings will be published through lulu.com with its own ISBN
(like the APRES'09 proceedings). Additional copies of the proceedings
can be purchased through lulu.com at a nominal fee.
The submission site is open: https://www.softconf.com/c/apres2011/
