Self-Organizing Systems Second International Workshop, IWSOS 2007, The Lake District, UK, September 11-13, 2007, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, IWSOS 2007, held in The Lake District, UK, September 11-13, 2007.
The 17 revised full papers and 5 revised short papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully selected from more than 36 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on ad hoc routing, peer-to-peer networking, network topology, adaptive and self-organizing networks and multicast and mobility protocols.

Keynote Speakers.- Engineering Self-Organizing Systems.- Infrastructure and Self-organization in Postmodern Internet Architecture.- Ad Hoc Routing for Wireless/Sensor Networks.- Mercator: Self-organizing Geographic Connectivity Maps for Scalable Ad-Hoc Routing.- A New Approach to Adaptive Multi-routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Network.- The Development of a Wireless Sensor Network Sensing Node Utilising Adaptive Self-diagnostics.- Efficient and Resilient Overlay Topologies over Ad Hoc Networks.- Peer-to-Peer Networking.- A Generic, Self-organizing, and Distributed Bootstrap Service for Peer-to-Peer Networks.- CSP, Cooperative Service Provisioning Using Peer-to-Peer Principles.- Network Topology and Architecture.- Generic Emergent Overlays in Arbitrary Peer Identifier Spaces.- A Common Architecture for Cross Layer and Network Context Awareness.- Network Topology Reconfiguration Against Targeted and Random Attack.- Adaptive and Self-organizing Networks.- A Self-organizing Control Plane for Failure Management in Transparent Optical Networks.- A Self-organizing Approach to Tuple Distribution in Large-Scale Tuple-Space Systems.- Autonomous Optimization of Next Generation Networks.- Multicast and Mobility Protocols.- Bandwidth-Satisfied Multicast Services in Large-Scale MANETs.- Localising Multicast Using Application Predicates.- Miscellaneous Topics.- Cost Aware Adaptive Load Sharing.- Self-configuration in MANETs: Different Perspectives.- Knowledge-Based Reasoning Through Stigmergic Linking.- Short Papers.- Dynamic Ontology Mapping for Interacting Autonomous Systems.- Trade-Off Between Performance and Energy Consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks.- Automated Trust Negotiation in Autonomic Environments.- Collaborative Anomaly-Based Attack Detection.- Modeling and Management of Service Level Agreements for Digital Video Broadcasting(DVB) Services.
