Abstract
Coordination and Adaptation are two key issues when developing complex distributed systems. Coordination focuses on the interaction among computational entities. Adaptation focuses on the problems raised when the interacting entities do not match properly.
This proposal corresponds to the second edition of the WCAT workshop, initiated at Oslo jointly with ECOOP 2004. For this edition, we have extended the organizing committee to widen its scope, interests, and points of view. The topics of interest cover a number of fields where coordination and adaptation have an impact: models, requirements identification, interface specification, extra-functional properties, documentation, automatic generation, frameworks, middleware and tools, and experience reports.
To enable lively and productive discussions, attendance will be limited to 20 participants, and submission of a short position paper is required. Submissions should describe work-in-progress, open questions and participants' expectations on the workshop. We suggest that position papers contain a specific final section identifying Open Issues.
Participants will make a five-minutes presentation of their positions,
followed by a discussion which must serve to identify a list of open
issues in the field. Then, participants will be divided into small groups
(4-5 persons each), attending to their interests. The task of each group
will be to discuss about a subset of the previously identified issues.
Finally, a plenary session will be held, in which each group will present
their conclusions to the rest of the participants.
