IWSOS 2009 Call for Participation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues
 
We are pleased to announce to you the 

IFIP 4th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2009)

to take place on December 9-11, 2009, at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

This year's edition will feature 28 papers pushing further research in self-organization of complex systems, with a  focus on computer networking.

Keynote lectures will be presented by Dario Floreano from EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, discussing artificial evolution of truly cooperative robots and by Martin May from Thomson Research Labs in Paris, France, who asks the question whether self-organizing  systems should be seen as objects of hope or hype.

Interested? Then please visit http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/ to learn more about this workshop. Note that the early registration period (offering a significant discount on the registration fee) ends on November 8, 2009.

Looking forward to seeing you in Zurich soon!

Bernhard Plattner (General Chair)
Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (Program Co-Chair)
Karin Anne Hummel (Program Co-Chair)
