Synopsis

The keychallengeforfuture computersystemis dealingwithcomplexity.Onone hand this involves internal system complexity which has increased exponentially over recent years. Here the main objectives are to maintain system reliability and to keep the design and maintenance e?ort manageable, while at the same timecontinuingtoprovidenewfunctionalityandincreasingsystemperformance. This hasbeenthe focus ofso-calledautonomouscomputing, whichaimsto bring self-con?guration and repair to a wide range of computing systems. On the other hand future computer systems are more and more becoming integrated into the fabric of everyday life and thus have to deal with the c- plexities of the real world. They will become smaller, more appropriate for their use, integrated into everyday objects, and often virtually or physically invisible to the users.They will alsobe deployedin a muchhigher quantity andpenetrate many moreapplicationareasthan traditional notionsof computer systems.This requirescomputersystemstobeadaptablewithinamuchwiderrangeofpossible tasks, subjected to much harsher conditions.

The principal approach is to enhance system functionality and adaptability by recognizing context and situations in the environment.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2005, held in Innsbruck, Austria in March 2005.The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on adaptation, power consumption, and scheduling; adaptation and agents; adaptation and services; application of adaptable systems; and pervasive computing and communication.
