Connectionists: Call for Papers for SaSSO Workshop in IEEE ACSOS 2023

[Aishwaryaprajna .]

Hi,


We would like to share the following call for papers.


*** CALL FOR PAPERS: Sustainable and Scalable Self-Organisation (SaSSO) Workshop ***
To be held 4th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems - ACSOS 2023
In Toronto, Canada from Mon 25 - Fri 29 September 2023

The goal of this inter-disciplinary workshop is to address two contrasting pairs of inter-related research questions:

  *   firstly, the sustainability of self-organisation, given the features of path dependency (where prior decisions significantly constrain present choices); the iron law of oligarchy which identifies the tendency of self-organisation to slide into oligarchy; and the avoidance of tyranny at the core of Ober’s Basic Democracy;
  *   secondly, and conversely, self-organisation for sustainability building towards the UN Sustainability goals, along with developments  considering the pioneering work of Ostrom’s self-governing institutions for common-pool resource management, but also considering self-sustainability, e.g. in the form of cooperative survival dilemmas;
  *   thirdly, scalability of self-organisation, for example as the number of components in a system changes over time, how are structures and processes for decision-making, dispute resolution and monitoring affected by such changes, even with new ‘generations’; and
  *   fourthly, and conversely, self-organisation for scalability, both for pro-active management of anticipated growth or contraction, but also how the values or incentives implied by self-organised rules change over time (the rule-based equivalent of concept drift).

Workshop organizers:

  *   Ada Diaconescu
  *   Peter Lewis
  *   Jeremy Pitt

More information can be found on the workshop’s website: https://amertzani.github.io<https://amertzani.github.io/>
IMPORTANT DATES:

  *   June 23rd - Deadline for Paper Submission
  *   July 15th - Acceptance/Rejection Notification
  *   August 5th: Final/Camera-ready Copy Submission Deadline (as per ACSOS main track)

PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Authors are invited to submit full workshop papers of up to 6 pages as well as extended abstracts of up to 2 pages (containing, new and wacky ideas, work in progress, or work published elsewhere) in the ACSOS paper formatting guidelines. Submissions to the workshop are free of change and they are required to be formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide<https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html>.



Many thanks and best regards,
