The Workshop on Autonomic Distributed Systems (WoSiDA), Co-located with the Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks and Distributed Systems, was aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners from the distributed systems community to discuss the fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of self-managing or autonomic distributed systems.
The WoSiDA 2013 program included 10 position papers selected from 14 submissions. The reviewing and selecting process was careful, where each paper was distributed to members of the technical program committee. The acceptance decision was taken after an evaluation of all reviews, paying attention to the reviews comments – not just the review scores. The accepted papers are those considered by the reviewers the most solid work among the set analyzed, and they cover distinct aspects of autonomic distributed systems.
In addition to presentation and discussion of the accepted papers, organized into three technical sections and an open session to discuss issues related to
design, implementation and evaluation of autonomic distributed systems.
Finally, I would like to thank very much the program committee members for having accepted the challenge of building this program, and the organizers of
SBRC 2013 for their support.
