[agents] Summer School on Pervasive Adaptation

[Franco Zambonelli]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:


        Summer School on Pervasive Adaptation
         Rimini (I), September 7-13, 2008
                 www.perada.eu

The EU FET Proactive Initiative on Pervasive Adaptation targets
technologies and design paradigms for massive-scale pervasive
information and communication systems, capable of autonomously
adapting to highly dynamic and open technological and user
contexts. Adaptation strategies (bio-inspired, stochastic
or others) will operate at different time scales and speeds,
from short term adaptation to long-term evolution, and will
imply changes in software, hardware, protocols and/or
architecture at different levels of granularity and abstraction.

The multi-disciplinary PerAda Summer School covers a
range of topics relevant to Pervasive Adaptation and
provides an intense week of selected tutorials, both
introductory and specialised, as well as practical
teamwork projects.  Pervasive Adaptation spans diverse
research areas and a set of challenging case studies will
be presented for small teams to tackle as an inter-
disciplinary learning experience.  Over the week, with the
help of tutorial leaders, the teams will identify potential
solutions and develop an integrated “proof-of-concept”
design, to be presented during the final day (and, depending
on quality, to form the basis of a journal special issue).

The Rimini location and the chosen hotel (directly on the
beach) ensure a socializing (and most likely funny)
athmosphere.

program and registration details, can be found at:
