Data-driven Self-regulating Systems (DSS 2018)
3-7 September 2018, Trento, Italy

DSS 2018 will be held in conjunction with the 15th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2018) and the 12th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2018).
The emergence of pervasive, ubiquitous and artificial intelligence driven technologies has resulted in unprecedented opportunities for the future development of techno-socio-economic systems but also highlights risks and dilemmas related to human autonomy, delegation, privacy, etc. Embedded ICT technologies range from real time monitoring and assisting systems for human well-being to systems that mandate the functionality and operations of traffic management infrastructure, transportation systems, smart grids, power/gas/water networks, etc. It is estimated that over 50 billion connected smart devices will be on-line by the year 2020. These autonomous smart devices powered by ever improving machine learning techniques and interacting with human users and other devices add to the complexity of our techno-socio-economic systems. It is evident that regulating these interacting complex systems of nowadays digital society is a grand challenge. Regulation needs to consider trade-offs such as the alignment of technical requirements, e.g. robustness, fault-tolerance, safety and security, with social or environmental requirements, for instance, fairness in the utilization of energy resources. Smart, autonomic and self-regulating mechanisms need to be developed for filtering and reasoning about data streams in real-time and transform them to valuable information based on which intelligent adaptive decisions can be made in a decentralized fashion under a plethora of operational scenarios.
The aim of the 4th International Workshop on Data-driven Self-regulating Systems is to foster interactions between researchers of different disciplines working on challenges about the self-organization and self-adaptation of complex techno-socio-economic systems. It also aims to promote communication and exchange of ideas between academia and industry. The workshop will run for a full day and will include (i) one or more keynote speakers, (ii) presentation of papers, (iii) software artifacts session and (iv) potentially a panel discussion. Panelist may include distinguished researchers who participate in the international research hubs of several large significant projects such as Nervousnet, VW Stiftung planning project "AI for well-being", SoBigData, ASSET, etc.

Keynote Speaker
Architectures for processing IoT data with AI technologies
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Maaß
Scientific director at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI)
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) applications are intrinsically distributed while cloud platforms mainly follow centralized approaches. Similarly, architectures for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems adopt centralized approaches while agent-based systems are often simulated by leveraging decentralized architectural patterns. General characteristics of this design space for system architectures are discussed and exemplified by a distributed architecture for processing IoT data with AI technologies.
Prof. Wolfgang Maaß is professor in Business Informatics at Saarland University, scientific director at Deutsche Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), and adjunct professor Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, NY.
He is Professor of Business Administration, especially Business Informatics in Service Management, Professor of Computer Science (co-opted) at Saarland University, Scientific Director of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Stony Brook University, NY. He studied computer science at the RWTH Aachen, as well as at Saarland University. His PhD in computer science was funded by a DFG scholarship from the graduate college "Cognitive Science". He was a post-doc at the Institute of Technology Management (ITEM), as well as at the Institute for Media and Communications Management (MCM) at the University of St. Gallen (HSG), Switzerland, where he also obtained his habilitation. Previously, he was a Lecturer at HSG and Professor of Media Informatics at the Hochschule Furtwangen (HFU). He was a visiting professor at the Department of Bioinformatics & Computational Biology at the University of Texas (M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, 2009), and at the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Stony Brook, NY (2016). In his research, he investigates the transformation of the industrial sector using artificial intelligence applications.
