4th International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS-2010)
February, 15th - 18th 2010, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow College, Krakow, Poland

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONFERENCE:
*ORGANIZED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ARES 2010 CONFERENCE
*IEEE CS PROCEEDINGS
*OUTSTANDING PROGRAM COMMITTEE
*SPECIAL ISSUES ARRANGED FOR THE CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOPS
***Aim***
The aim of the conference is to deliver a platform of scientific interaction between
the three interwoven challenging areas of research and development of future
ICT-enabled applications:
* Software Intensive Systems
* Complex systems
* Intelligent Systems
***Scope***
Networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different kinds of systems
with different characteristics are emerging and they are integrating in heterogeneous
networks. For these reasons, there are many interconnection problems which may occur
at different levels in the hardware and software design of communicating entities and
communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage an increasing usage
demand, provide support for a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS,
and optimize the utilization of network resources. Therefore, architectures and
algorithms in these networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus on
new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the network to perform
adaptive behaviors. Many new computing technologies have emerged as new paradigms for
solving complex problems by enabling large-scale aggregation and sharing of
computational, data and other geographically distributed resources. Rapid advances
are being reported by many researchers and forums as regards understanding numerous
issues in such paradigms, from theoretic to application aspects. Moreover, the
continuous development of Internet and the construction of new infrastructures are
making possible the development of large scale applications from many fields of
science and engineering.
To deal with complexity, we should construct physically instantiated systems that can
perceive, understand, and interact with their environment, but also evolve in order
to achieve human-like performance in activities requiring context-specific
knowledge. This is far beyond the current state of the art and will remain so for
many years to come. Therefore, many research efforts are required to make headway
towards this vision. The strategic challenges are motivated by recent research in
the field of intelligent systems, robotics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence,
and cognitive sciences. In recent years, a large community of researchers has begun
to realize the importance of brain-body interaction for understanding intelligence
and its central role in a wide range of processes including perception, object
manipulation, movement, and high-level cognition.
The research challenges include theoretical frameworks based on the notions of
embodiment, the dynamical systems metaphor, complete agents rather than individual
components, self-reconfiguration and self-repair, morphology and
development. Progress in the theoretical underpinnings of embodied intelligence will
have strong technological implications in areas including robotics, actuator
technology, materials, self-assembling systems. Research in intelligent and cognitive
systems is an interdisciplinary field requiring the cooperation of researchers from
artificial intelligence, neuroscience (including cognitive and computational),
psychology (cognitive and developmental), linguistics, developmental biology,
robotics (and engineering in general), biomechanics, and dynamical systems. Software
has become a central part of a rapidly growing range of applications, products and
services from all sectors of economic activity. Systems in which software interacts
with other software, systems, devices, sensors and with people are called
software-intensive systems. Examples include large-scale heterogeneous systems,
embedded systems for automotive and avionics applications, telecommunications,
wireless ad hoc systems, business applications with an emphasis on web services. Our
daily activities increasingly depend on complex software-intensive systems that are
becoming ever more distributed, heterogeneous, decentralized and inter-dependent, and
that are operating more and more in dynamic and often unpredictable environments.
There exist different kinds of complexity in the development of software. Software
systems grew larger, the focus shifted from the complexity of developing algorithms
to the complexity structuring large systems, and then to the additional complexities
in building distributed, concurrent systems. In the next ten to fifteen years we will
have to face another level of complexity arising from the fact that systems have to
operate in large, open and non-deterministic environments: the complexity of
knowledge, interaction and adaptation. Instead of developing computer-oriented
systems where people have to adapt to the computer we have to develop human-oriented
systems into which computers integrate seamlessly. Also, the requirements for
software quality will dramatically increase. But our current methods are not
sufficient to deal with adaptive software in a dynamic environment, especially not
for large systems with complex interactions. We need to develop practically useful
and theoretically well founded principles, methods and tools for engineering future
software-intensive systems. All the complex systems depend on software that controls
the behavior of individual components and the interaction between components, and on
software which interacts with other software, systems, devices, sensors and with
people. In other words: they depend on software-intensive systems.

limited to the following topics.
