Welcome to the Awareness Virtual Lecture Series

Managing systems is increasingly becoming more challenging. Different devices, heterogeneous
platforms and different programming models can now be connected into a single system, and devices
are increasing in technological complexity. These factors not only make systems unmanageable but
lead to systems exhibiting unplanned behaviours. To counter this, systems must become self-aware,
exhibiting context-awareness at an internal and external level.

Aimed at researchers from different disciplines, the Awareness Virtual Lecture Series intends to
cover theoretical, practical, and technological issues related to autonomic self-awareness
including self-organising and self-adaptive systems, pervasive computing technologies as well as
security and socio/economic aspects of autonomic computing.

This lecture series is a collection of 8 weekly online lectures starting on 14 October 2011 and
broadcast weekly at 3pm CET (Central European Time).

Each lecture lasts no more than 25 minutes and lecturers are available for online discussion after
their lecture.
