> MOTIVATION AND GOALS
>
> Large-scale, heterogeneous software systems such as cyber-physical
> systems, cloud-based systems, or service-based systems are ubiquitous in
> many domains. Often, such systems are systems of systems working
> together to fulfill common goals resulting from domain or customer
> requirements. Such systems' full behavior emerges only at runtime, when
> the involved systems interact with each other, with hardware,
> third-party systems, or legacy systems. Thus, engineers are interested
> in monitoring the overall system at runtime C1 for instance, to verify
> components' correct timing or measure performance and resource
> consumption. Monitoring can happen continuously at runtime, to give
> instant feedback on behavior violations, or post hoc, on the basis of
> recorded event traces and data logs.
>
> The complexity and heterogeneity of large-scale software systems,
> however, complicates runtime monitoring. Properties must be checked
> across the boundaries of multiple constituent systems and heterogeneous,
> domain-specific technologies must be instrumented. Also, different types
> of properties must be checked at runtime, including global invariants
> and exceptions, range checks of variables, temporal constraints on
> events, or architectural rules constraining component interactions.
> Finally, systems exist in many different versions and variants owing to
> the continuous, independent evolution of their constituent systems.
> Adaption and reconfiguration of monitoring solutions thus becomes
> essential.
>
> This workshop aims to explore and explicate the current status and
> ongoing work on monitoring in large-scale software systems and the
> transfer of knowledge between different disciplines and domains. A
> particular goal of the workshop is thus to bring together different
> communities working on monitoring approaches such as (application)
> performance and resource monitoring, requirements monitoring, and
> runtime verification. The workshop also aims at bringing together
> researchers and practitioners to discuss practical problems vs.
> potential solutions.
>
> Future directions for research will be outlined based on challenges
> discussed and the needs expressed by the participants. The workshop thus
> has the following objectives: (i) Discuss how monitoring can be
> supported in large-scale software systems (state of the art). (ii)
> Discuss open challenges in research and practice.
>
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> TOPICS OF INTEREST
>
> We particularly encourage research papers based on industrial experience
> and empirical studies, as well as papers, which identify and structure
> open challenges and research questions. We are interested in all topics
> related to monitoring in large-scale soft-ware systems (systems of
> systems, cloud-based systems, service-oriented systems, big-data
> systems, business processes, cyber-physical systems, automation
> production/automotive systems, etc.).
>
> This includes, but is not limited to:
> - Requirements monitoring in large-scale systems - Runtime verification
> of large-scale systems - Complex event processing in large-scale systems
> - Performance monitoring in large-scale systems - Monitoring along the
> continuum, from the data source to fog- and cloud-based solutions -
> Supporting monitoring in large-scale systems with...
> - Requirements as runtime entities - Models at runtime - Runtime
> constraint checking - Visualization techniques - Human-computer
