---------------------
Aims and Scope
---------------------
The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software and services, especially in dealing with dynamics in the environment and problem domain, has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems. In this endeavour, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches.
Many significant research problems exist related to self-adaptive or self-organizing systems. A challenge in self-adaptation is often to identify how to change specific behavior to achieve the desired improvement. Another major challenge is to predict and control the global system behavior resulting from self-organization. Yet more challenges arise from the confluence of self-adaptation with self-organization. For instance, how do self-* mechanisms that work well independently operate in combination? How are meso-level structures formed which leverage micro-level behavior to achieve desirable macro-level outcomes, and avoid undesirable ones?
The seventh edition of the SASO conference embraces the inter-disciplinarity and the scientific, empirical and application dimensions of self-* systems; it thus aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications.
SASO welcomes novel results on both self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. It seeks to emphasize the interconnection of basic research between and within fields, and the increasing protrusion of self-* systems into the human sphere, evaluating their impact on society, environmental sustainability, commerce, living/working spaces and critical infrastructure. Therefore contributions are welcomed that: apply self-* principles to solve real-world problems; unpick the entanglement of self-* systems and human users in socio-technical systems; present advances in self-* mechanisms or analyses with potentially broad application; investigate the combination and interconnection of self-* mechanisms; and/or identify and evaluate new self-* principles or mechanisms from the study of natural or engineered systems.
Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems, are equally encouraged. Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to submit accompanying papers for the Demo or Poster Sessions.

The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to:
- Self-* systems theory: theoretical frameworks and models; biologically- and socially-inspired paradigms; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms;
- Self-* systems engineering: hardware, software and middleware development frameworks and methods, platforms and toolkits; self-* materials;
- Self-* system properties: robustness, resilience and stability; emergence; computational awareness and self-awareness; reflection;
- Self-* cyber-physical and socio-technical systems: human factors and visualization; self-* social computers; crowdsourcing and collective awareness;
- Applications and experiences of self-* systems: cyber security, transportation, computational sustainability, big data and creative commons, power systems.
------------------------------
Submission Instructions
------------------------------
All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2013 conference management system. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. Note that a separate call for poster submissions has also been issued.
-------------------
Review Criteria
-------------------
Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect both theoretical and empirical contributions to be clearly stated, substantiated by formal analysis, animation or simulation, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Because SASO is a cross-disciplinary conference, papers must be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field.
Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome but they must clearly state the insight into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems which is of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community

EMPRESA PÚBLICA DE CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA
Mais uma empresa governamental, para quê?
Ciência e Tecnologia pressupõem EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA de QUALIDADE, voltada à Transdisciplinaridade, sem a qual não chegaremos a lugar algum.
Os métodos e metodologias são fundamentais. Muitos deles existem em todo o mundo, inclusive a Transprojetação, da qual sou autora.
Fico realmente muito triste quando leio essas idéias que muitos pesquisadores já expuseram, mas não possuem voz.
Por isso, uma outra coisa fundamental, ou um vetor para a sustentabilidade é a HUMILDADE, em reconhecer que as práticas educacionais atuais, sejam elas nos níveis: básico, secundário ou superior estão FALIDAS e APODRECIDAS e com elas QUEM AS SUSTENTAM, professores e pesquisadores da ciência normal, diretores, reitores etc... ATUAIS!!!
Enfim, é apenas mais um desabafo.

CiiS 2013 - Congresso Internancional de Inovação e Sustentabilidade - Publicado em Conversa Sustentável
Data limite para envio de resumos de artigos foi prorrogada para 31 de março
Desde o início de fevereiro, quando foi lançado o site do Congresso Internacional de Inovação e Sustentabilidade – CiiS 2013, a Comissão Organizadora recebeu mais de 30 resumos de artigos de vários especialistas pelo Brasil – do Pará ao Rio Grande do Sul – abordando os mais variados temas – desde inovação em RSE e nas relações comunitárias com empresas até novas tecnologias como energia solar e de resíduos e processos educacionais visando a sustentabilidade. No entanto, devido à grande procura e ao potencial deste tema, e inclusive por solicitação de alguns autores, o prazo de envio de resumos foi estendido para o dia 31 de março de 2013 à meia noite.Sendo assim, o novo prazo para envio do artigo completo será dia 10 maio de 2013 à meia noite.As áreas temáticas são: Certificações e Avaliações; Comunicação, Cultura e Sustentabilidade; Construção Sustentável, Cidades Sustentáveis; Consumo Sustentável; Ecopolitica; Educação e Ensino a Distância; Empreendedorismo; Governança Corporativa; Inovações e Tecnologias Sustentáveis; Práticas e Processos Organizacionais; Responsabilidade Social; Saúde e Meio ambiente e Desenvolvimento Urbano.
Em nome da Comissão Organizadora, agradecemos ao todos que se interessaram, foram motivados a enviar artigos e a se inscrever.
Lembre-se que:A nova data limite para envio de resumos é 31 de março de 2013A nova data limite para envio do artigo completo é dia 10 de maio de 2013 Para efetivar o envio será necessário pagar as taxas de inscrição, pois só assim poderemos garantir um bom evento e o crescimento das comunidades virtuais do CiiS e propiciar um bom espaço de debate.Com uma só inscrição você pode enviar mais de um artigo para avaliação com limite de três artigos por autor e co-autor.A taxa do envio de artigos vale como inscrição para o CiiS – não é necessário se inscrever uma vez que o envio e pagamento do envio do artigo for confirmado. Quem efetivar o envio do artigo não só terá seu artigo incluído nos anais, mas terá vaga garantida no evento.Os alunos e docentes da Fatec Tatuapé serão isentos da taxa de inscrição e envio de artigos, resultado da parceria com esta instituição.Mesmo se seu artigo não for escolhido para apresentação no dia do evento e para publicação do livro, ele será incluído nos anais.Se você não enviar o artigo, faça também sua inscrição e siga nossas redes, pois o nosso ideal é colocar você em contato direto com pesquisadores brasileiros e internacionais e empresas que estudam e implementam a sustentabilidade. Sua participação é importantíssima!Quem já se inscreveu ou enviou o artigo pode baixar aqui a imagem temática do CiiS 2013 para colocar no seu blog ou página pessoal do Facebook.As empresas podem também mandar artigos e/ou participar da exposição de case, veja na página 9 do mídia kit.Aguardamos sua contribuição e sua presença no evento!
