Abstract

Self-organization is expected to play a key architectural role for the future Internet as well as for large-scale pervasive computing systems such as wireless sensor networks. In conjunction with the “International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2006)”, we organized the first “GI/ITG/MMB/KuVS Fachgespräch on Performance Modeling of Self-Organizing Systems (PMSOS '06)”. The event was hosted by the chair of Computer Networks & Communications of Universität Passau. To make the Fachgespräch as attractive as possible, we introduced and trialed a novel dialogue-intensifying format for discussions. In the aftermaths of the workshop, we have been able to collect evidence that the participants considered the workshop to be very vital and stimulating.
