   One of the most distinguishing requirements upon Information and
Communication Technologies is today's ever-changing, highly open
dynamic environments in which large-scale ICT systems are situated to
operate. Challenges for ICT systems engineering immediately arise
including, e.g., systems scalability, systems ultra-dependability,
systems convergence against uncertainty and emergence, and so forth. In
recent years, emergence, adaptation, self-organization,
self-management, etc. have received extensive interests in both
academics and industries of software, computing and communications.
   The CODS 2009 conference aims at providing an international forum for
the researchers and practitioners in the related subject areas to
exchange research results, experiences, as well as the visions of the
future and the scientific and practical problems that challenge the
current technology development.
