Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems

This book includes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems. Software Intensive Systems are systems which heavily interact with other systems, sensors, actuators, devices, other software systems and users. Many domains are involved with Software Intensive Systems, e.g., automotive systems, telecommunication systems, embedded systems in general, industrial automation systems and business applications. Moreover, the outcome of Web services delivers a new platform for enabling Software Intensive Systems.
Complex Systems research is focused on overall understanding of systems rather than their components. Complex Systems are very much characterized by the changing environments in which they act by their multiple internal and external interactions. They evolve and adapt through internal and external dynamic interactions.
The development of Intelligent Systems and agents, which can be characterized by ontologies and their logical foundations, builds a fruitful impulse for both Software Intensive Systems and Complex Systems. Recent research in the field of intelligent systems, robotics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences are very important factors for the future development and innovation of Software Intensive and Complex Systems.
The aim of this book Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems is to deliver a platform of scientific interaction between the three interwoven challenging areas of research and development of future ICT-enabled applications: Software Intensive Systems, Complex Systems, and Intelligent Systems.
