Computing devices are increasingly filling our everyday living and working environments, being attached to humans and physical items, and are creating a dense and intricate communication and computation infrastructure spanning from the edge to the cloud. Correctly engineering (designing, developing, testing and deploying) a system working on top of such a "pervasive computational fabric" poses difficult challenges, but opens a window of fresh opportunities for building today's and tomorrow's advanced computing services.
On the one hand, sensing, analysing, planning, and controlling (i.e. virtually performing any computational mechanism), can take advantage of the availability of myriads of computational devices providing embedded sensors, actuators, networking, and computing abilities, especially in scenarios including (but not limited to) smart cities, large-scale sensor networks, intelligent environments, smart mobility, and distributed robotics.
On the other hand, building computing systems on top of a very mobile, large, and heterogeneous network of devices is extremely challenging, for we lack development methodologies guaranteeing robust behaviour in spite of the high unpredictability and dynamics involved in systems with many independent and heterogeneous devices.
All accepted papers, that will be part of the conference proceedings, are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by EI.
This special session welcomes works addressing any engineering aspect related to large-scale systems, there including:
design techniques and methodologies
computational models and programming languages
development tools
verification, simulation and testing techniques and tools
distributed infrastructures
applications exploiting large-scale of devices
services for smartcities, cyber-physical systems, smart mobility
self-adaptation and self-organisation
collective adaptive systems
design for emergence
