SEAMS 2022: The 17th Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and 
Self-Managing Systems


https://conf.researchr.org/home/seams-2022


Co-located with ICSE 2022, https://conf.researchr.org/home/icse-2022


May 18-20: Virtual Technical Program
May 23: In-Person Program, Pittsburgh, PA, USA


====================================================================


Many of today's software-intensive systems need to continuously preserve 
and optimize their
operation in the presence of uncertain changes in their operating 
environment, resource
variability, evolving user needs, attacks and faults. In addition to 
that, the complexity of these
systems demands autonomy, self-management,and self-adaptation. SEAMS 
focuses on
applying software engineering methods, techniques, processes and tools 
to support the
construction of safe, performant, and cost-effective self-adaptive and 
autonomous systems
that provide self-* properties like self-configuration, self-healing, 
self-optimization, and
self-protection.


SEAMS brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, 
industry and government, to investigate, discuss, examine and advance 
the fundamental principles, the state of the art, and the solutions 
addressing critical challenges of engineering self-adaptive and 
self-managing systems.


SEAMS 2022 will have a virtual component, an in-person component, plus 
vibrant keynotes, a
community discussion, and a doctoral track.

------------------------------------
Industrial Challenge Problem Design (In-Person)
------------------------------------
Working with colleagues from a local Pittsburgh company, the half-day in 
person event on May 23 is going to be devoted to the definition of an 
industrial challenge, with direct industrial relevance, that can be 
addressed by researchers.


------------------------------------
COVID-19 Statement
------------------------------------
With such an international audience, we want everyone to feel safe. A 
number of prospective
participants have expressed concerns about attending in person. To 
encourage as many people  to attend as possible, all in-person 
participants will be required to show proof of vaccination and to wear 
masks during the conference. During meals and receptions, especially 
those held outdoors, masking requirements will be relaxed appropriately.
