The IJCAI-09 Workshop
on
Self-* and Autonomous Systems (SAS09):
reasoning and integration challenges

Description

Autonomous systems are entities which are able to work properly without (or very limited) human intervention, especially when facing unknown environments and/or unexpected events (e.g. failures). The notion of "self-*" (pronounced self-star) systems, introduced in software engineering, is similar, making the distinction between more specific self-* properties, like self-awareness, self-adaptiveness, self-correction, self-healability, self-organization, self-repair, etc. The purpose of this workshop is to gather researchers from different AI fields in order to fill the gaps and exchange ideas about which reasoning techniques are needed for self-* and autonomous systems, and how they can be combined and integrated.
