"SELF-MANAGING SYSTEMS"
*** EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE 15 SEPTEMBER, 2003 ***
The fourteenth IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems:
Operations & Management will be held October 20-22, 2003 in Heidelberg,
Germany. 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
