2008 SASO Workshop on Business Applications and Potential of Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO-biz 2008)

Venice, Italy, 21 October 2008

This industry-oriented workshop is co-located with the SASO 2008 conference and sponsored by:

Cisco NetExpert

The aim of this workshop is to gather people from industry to exchange information about current and future business applications of self-managing, self-adaptive and self-organizing systems, and to strive to anticipate the implications of their large-scale use for industry (providers and customers). How can we turn a technological potential into a mass-market reality?

There will be no proceedings and no papers, just presentations and hopefully fruitful discussions. All speakers and panelists are invited by the Workshop Co-Chairs.

Scope

The main themes of this workshop are the following:

Audience

We expect to attract CTOs, VPs Engineering, Innovation Directors, Project Managers, Consultants and Senior Engineers from corporations, mid-sized enterprises and startups in diverse industrial sectors. This workshop should benefit:

We hope that attendees will make contacts for future business collaborations, but this is not a venue for VPs Sales to sell products to prospective customers. We will have a mix of presentations at this workshop, some of them more technical than others, but none of them will be sheer marketing.
