The workshop is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Network Management for Communication Networks with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). The Workshop location is the European Institute for Research and Strategic Studies in Telecommunications (EURESCOM), beautifully situated above the romantic city of Heidelberg with its unique blend of river landscape, historic town, and hillside castle. WORKSHOP SCOPE The scope of this workshop will be on the operations and management of distributed systems, networks, application software, and services and the impact of advanced computing and network technologies on management. The specific focus of DSOM 2003 is "Self-Managing Systems", reflecting the current interest and development in the field. DSOM 2003 is organized as a single-track program in order to stimulate interaction among participants. The workshop theme is "Self-Managing Systems", reflecting the current interest and development in the field to address the ever-increasing complexity and heterogeneity of today's distributed systems, their operation and management. The majority of the papers, presented in 8 sessions at DSOM 2003, address some important aspect of this highly relevant problem area. The level of interest in DSOM has been growing steadily over the years. This year we were fortunate to receive a record submission of 84 high quality papers from 22 countries, of which 20 were selected for the 8 technical sessions. The acceptance ratio was below 24%, thus making DSOM 2003 the most selective DSOM ever. In addition, we received 21 work-in-progress papers, of which 6 were selected. DSOM 2003 will explore infrastructures, techniques, and methods that can be used to design and implement such self-managing systems. The 8 Technical Sessions focus on the following Topics: * Self-Configuration * Peer-to-Peer Management * Self-Optimization and Performance Management * Utility Management * Self-Protection and Access Control * Manageability and Instrumentation * Context-Awareness * 6 Short (work-in-progress) Papers KEYNOTE SPEAKER Thomas Studwell IBM Corporation, Autonomic Computing Architecture and Technology Group, USA PROCEEDINGS The DSOM 2003 Proceedings are published by Springer Verlag as Volume 2867 of the prestigious Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
