Editorial Message Track on Software-intensive Systems-of-Systems (SiSoS) of the 33rd ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing (SAC 2018)
Résumé
Pervasiveness of networks has made possible to interconnect systems that were independently developed, operated, managed, and evolved, yielding a new kind of complex system, i.e. a system that is itself composed of systems, the so-called System-of-Systems (SoS). Software-intensive SoS (SiSoS) has become a hotspot in the last years, from both the research and industry viewpoints. Indeed, various aspects of our lives and livelihoods have progressively become dependent on some sort of Software-intensive SoS. This is the case of SiSoS found in different areas as diverse as energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation; and applications that address societal needs, e.g. environmental monitoring, distributed energy grids, emergency coordination, global traffic control, and smart cities. Moreover, ubiquitous platforms such as the Internet of Things and nascent kinds of SoS such as Cyber-Physical SoSs are accelerating the deployment of Software-intensive SoS in the near future. Definitely, the unique characteristics of Software-intensive SoS raise a grand research challenge for the future of software-reliant systems in our industry and society due to its intrinsic features, among which evolutionary development and emergent behavior. Statistics The SiSoS Track received 22 regular paper submissions and 3 SRC submissions. Each submission was reviewed by three members of the Track Program Committee. The Track Program Committee selected 5 full papers out of the 22, giving an acceptance rate of 23%. These papers were selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance to this conference track. Moreover, 2 poster papers have been accepted for publications in the proceedings of the conference. Key Topics This track fosters (but is not limited to) submissions in the following topics:
