"2nd Awareness Summer School"
Aimed at graduate/PhD students and researchers from different disciplines, this summer school will cover theoretical, practical and technological issues related to autonomic self-awareness and its various facets. Managing systems is increasingly becoming more challenging. Different devices, heterogeneous platforms and different programming models can now be connected into a single system, and devices are increasing in technological complexity. These factors not only make systems unmanageable but lead to systems exhibiting unplanned behaviours. To counter this, systems must become self-aware, exhibiting context-awareness at an internal and external level.
