Lakeside Research Days'08
The Lakeside Research Days 2008 have been organized as a five days workshop and a previous half-day prolog. The main topic of the workshop was self-organizing systems and their application in the technical domain.
In the prolog topics for the main workshop were elaborated among a team of researchers from the University of Klagenfurt. At the five days workshop invited experts, local professors and young researchers discussed and elaborated ideas in the field of Self-Organizing Systems (SOS). The main emphasis of the workshop was on soliciting discussions and creating new ideas on the topic of self-organizing networks and their applications in the technical domain. This year, the workshop was organized for the first time. It was organized with the assistance from Lakeside Labs and took place at the University of Klagenfurt in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Austria. The topics treated involved definition of SOS, possible methodologies for designing SOS, showcases for SOS in the technical domain, and the role of SOS among other disciplines in science. As early results from the Lakeside Research Days, a special session at the Autonomics’08 conference was organized and a paper on the workshop topics was published at the IWSOS’08 workshop. Furthermore, contact among the institutions of the participants is expected to lead to further research collaborations.
