International Workshop on Autonomous Control for Performance and Reliability Trade-offs in Internet of Services
(ACPROSS 2017)
22, 2017 - Apr 22, 2017
L'Aquila, Italy

The paradigm shift from an information-oriented Internet into an Internet of Services (IoS) has opened up virtually unbounded possibilities for creating and deploying new services. In this reshaped ICT landscape, critical software systems, which include IoT, cloud services, softwarized networks, etc., essentially consist of large-scale service chains, combining and integrating the functionalities of (possibly huge) numbers of other services offered by third parties.
In this context, one of the most challenging problems is the provision of service chains which offer an adequate level of performance, reliability and quality perceived by the end users, based on a large offering of multiple functionally equivalent services that not only differ in terms of performance and reliability characteristics, but might also exhibit a churn rate and time varying behavior. Motivated by this, the aim of this workshop is to create a follow-up of European network of experts, from both academia and industry, aiming at the development of autonomous control methods and algorithms for discussing a high quality, well-performing and reliable IoS.

Some keywords of the workshop include: autonomous control, performance, Quality of Experience, Quality of Service, reliability, elasticity, softwarized networks and pricing.

The workshop is supposed to share new findings, exchange ideas, discuss research challenges and report latest research efforts that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
- Autonomous control in Internet of Things, distributed clouds, multi-clouds and softwarized networks
- Cross-layer Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Service (QoS) management
- Methods and models for resilient Internet of Services
- Modeling and performance tools for the Internet of Services
- QoS and QoE modeling and monitoring for the Internet of Services
- User-centric, context-aware QoE monitoring and network management for the Internet of Services
- QoE in the context of time-aware applications, computers and communication systems of the Internet of Services
- QoS-, elasticity-, energy- and price-aware resource selection for the Internet of Services
- Scheduling, resource management, admission control for the Internet of Services
- Autonomous control, modeling, resilience, resource management, and admission control for software performance and reliability trade-offs
