MISSION OF IJARAS:

Prospective authors are invited to submit
manuscripts for possible publication in the
International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The
primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel,
effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable
systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service
and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and
sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding
environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to
technological aspects. 

IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness
of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able
to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental)
and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem,
which implies a research direction – a thesis. The truth about this statement
is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly
unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices
and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a
larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and
through that, IJARAS

aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject
new research directions in this area.





RECOMMENDED TOPICS:



IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the
following:



* Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to
model, design, express, and develop
adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems;



* Analytical and simulation tools to measure a
system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new
environments;



* Conceptual models and paradigms to express
change tolerance;



* Methods, models, and architectures to manage and
express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation;



* Design-time / run-time methods and tools to
identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance,
safety, and security;



* Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective
provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and
dependability;



* Resilience engineering;



* Autonomic business process execution;



* Adaptive service-oriented computing;



* Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to
autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems;



* Recovery-oriented computing;



* Methods focusing on optimizing quality of
experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces;



* Adaptive fault-tolerance;



* Adaptive fault-masking;



* Adaptive data integrity;



* Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics;



* Adaptive and context-aware multimedia;



* Personalization;



* Adaptive data mining;



* Adaptive fault models;



* Adaptive system models;



* Adaptive routing;



* Autonomic applications;



* Architecture-based adaptation;



* “Self-*” systems.





SUBMITTING TO IJARAS:



Prospective authors should note that only original
and previously unpublished articles will be
considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.pdf





PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will
be forwarded to at least 3 members of the
Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final
decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews
received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically
to vincenzo dot deflorio at ua dot ac dot be.
