Discussion Session: Self-* and quality assurance

This is a discussion session where all participants are asked to  present a statement about the main topic of the workshop: The role of  self-adaptive and self-healing solutions in quality assurance.

Will self-* technologies substitute, complement, benefit from, be  completely independent from classic and emerging quality assurance  techniques? Are quality assurance techniques affecting self-*  technologies? How can we assess the quality of self-* systems?

Please state your position in less than 5 minutes (one - two slides  are welcome but not necessary) and be ready to discuss different viewpoints.

Open Session: New ideas and emerging results

This is is an open session where all participants are invited to  propose new problems, point to new ideas, present early results, discuss research directions, find partnership for new projects.

If you are fighting with a hard problem,  have a new idea, see some  new results, want to challenge the community, are looking for  advice, comments or partners for new projects, please get ready for  a 5 minutes presentation and an unlimited time for questions and  comments. You are welcome to prepare at most 2 slides for your challenge. Please send early registrations for your  presentation to the program chairs in advance, or at the workshop site.
