[Announcements] CALL FOR PAPERS for "Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Applications" (ALPACA 2022) @ PerCom 2022 in Pisa

[Christian Krupitzer]

==* CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION *==

The First International 
      "Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Applications" 
(ALPACA 2022)

March 21/25, 2022 in Pisa, Italy and virtual (hybrid event)

Details on the event are available at:

==* Colloquium Theme *==

The Workshop on Adaptive, Learning PervAsive Applications (ALPACA) provides
a forum to foster interaction and collaboration between the research
communities of
adaptive, learning and pervasive computing systems, raising the awareness
about related research
efforts and synergies that can be exploited to advance the state of the art.
ALPACA takes place in
conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing
and Communications
(PerCom).

Adaptive PerCom systems are inherently distributed and composed of
possiblehundreds of instances 
that might act autonomously. New approaches are required to achieve
globalgoals while enabling 
local autonomicity. Relevant work can be found in different areas including
autonomic computing, self-adaptive and self-organizing software and systems,
multi-agent systems,
organic computing, as well as context- and situation-aware systems.

We especially welcome researchers working in those research streams. This
workshop covers all topics concerning adaptive PerCom systems including:

 - Fundamental science and theory of adaptive, learning PerCom systems;
 - Levels and aspects of adaptive, learning PerCom systems;
 - Architectures for individual and collective systems;
 - Measurements, quality assurance, and evaluation in adaptive, learning
PerCom systems;
 - Verification \& validation and testing;
 - Artefacts, test beds, simulations, demonstrators of adaptive, learning
PerCom systems;
 - Tool support for evaluation and measurements;
 - Open challenges and future research directions;
 - Applications and case studies: cloud computing, cyber-physical systems,
industrial internet / industry 4.0, 
internet of things, mobile computing, smart buildings, smart city, smart
grid / energy management, smart factory, 
traffic management, robotics, and space applications;
 - Cross-domain contributions bringing Organic/Autonomic or self-learning
technology to pervasive systems.


==* Important Dates *==

- Paper submission deadline: November 14th, 2021
- Author notification: January 5, 2022
- Workshop Day: March 21 or 25, 2022


==* Submission *==

There are two ways to participate: i) present a talk without a respective
paper published in the 
workshop proceedings, ii) submit a paper to be presented at the workshop and
published in 
the workshop proceedings:
- Full workshop paper: limited to 6 pages (double column, IEEE format,
including references)
- Short workshop paper: limited to 4 pages (double column, IEEE format,
including references)
- Talk extended abstract: limited to 2 pages (double column, IEEE format)

Contributions in the 1st and 2nd category (technical papers) must represent
original and unpublished 
work that is not currently under review. Full papers may report on original
research, lessons learned 
from realizing an approach, or experiences on transferring a research
prototype into practice. 
Short papers may report on work-in-progress or present a vision or
(controversial) position. 
Contributions in the 3rd category may present ideas in their very first
stage or a (controversial) 
opinion. At least one author of each accepted submission is required to
attend the workshop. 
Technical papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and made
available as a part 
of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. 

Papers need to be submitted electronically via EDAS:
