[DMANET] CfP: Autonomous Systems

**********************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
10/30/2011 - 11/03/2011
http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/kn/phdseminar11/index_en.html
**********************************************************

The 4th workshop Autonomous Systems will take place from
October 30th until November 3rd 2011 on Mallorca Island,
Spain.
For this event we are looking for unpublished papers
that deal with autonomous systems in the broadest sense.
This can be research results, industrial applications,
experience reports as well as discussions of yet unsolved
problems. All contributions will be peer reviewed by at
least 3 members of the international program committee;
accepted papers will be published in a voluem of the
Springer 'Studies in Computational Intelligence' series.

Relevant topics are:

* Theories, models and algorithms for communities
o Distributed algorithms
o Simulation models
o Evolution of cooperation in social and biologic systems
o Game theory, graph theory and cost models
o Innovative communication protocols
o Self organization and self stabilization
o Small world models and clouds
o Structure building, overlay networks, and functional separation
o Nonlinear dynamic systems, chaos theory
o Complex networks
o Decision making and decision support systems

* Technolgies
o Distributed systems and und realtime systems
o Ad-Hoc- and sensornetworks
o Security and privacy protection
o Context- and location aware applications
o Natural language processing and translation
o Peer-To-Peer-, grid-, and cloud technologies
o Software agents and adaptive systems
o Service oriented architectures
o Content management
o Semantic web
o Engineering applications of chaos theory
* Swarm Intelligence and system biology

o Swarm-based optimization techniques
o Swarm computing
o Particle swarm optimization
o Ant colony optimization
o Fish school search
o Bioinformatics
o Cognitive science
o Social evolution
o Optimization theory and methods
o Evolutionary computation
o Simulation and emulation of nature
o Multi-agent based complex systems
o Collective intelligence
o Social intelligence
o Mathematic theoretic approaches to emergence in swarms
