Dear Sirs, dear Madams,
please consider submitting papers to ANTIFRAGILE 2016!

=BC=A9=EF=BC=AC=EF=BC=A5 2016 - the 3rd International Workshop on Computati=
onal Antifragility and Antifragile Engineering
in the framework of the 7th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Ne=
tworks and Technologies (ANT-2016),
May 23-26, 2016, Universidad Polit=C3=A9cnica de Madrid in Madrid, Spain

The engineering of antifragile computer-based systems is a challenge that, =
once met, would allow systems and ambients to self-evolve and self-improve =
by learning from accidents and mistakes in a way not dissimilar to that of =
human beings. Learning how to design and craft antifragile systems is an ex=
traordinary challenge whose tackling is likely to reverberate on many a com=
puter engineering field. New methods, programming languages, even custom pl=
atforms will have to be designed. The expected returns are extraordinary as=
 well: antifragile computer engineering promises to enable realizing truly =
autonomic systems and ambients able to meta-adapt to changing circumstances=
; to self-adjust to dynamically changing environments and ambients; to self=
-organize so as to track dynamically and proactively optimal strategies to =
sustain scalability, high-performance, and energy efficiency; to personaliz=
e their aspects and behaviors after each and every user. And to learn how t=
o get better while doing it.

Building on top of the very positive responses of last two years, enriched =
by the participation of Professor N. N. Taleb and Dr. Kenny H. Jones from N=
ASA who kindly provided their keynote speeches, this third edition of ANTIF=
RAGILE aims to further enhance the awareness of the challenges of antifragi=
le engineering and to continue the initiated discussion on how computer and=
 software engineering may address them. As a design aspect cross-cutting th=
rough all system and communication layers, antifragile engineering calls fo=
r multi-disciplinary visions and approaches able to bridge the gaps between=
 =E2=80=9Cdistant=E2=80=9D research communities so as to

-propose novel solutions to design, develop, and evaluate antifragile syste=
ms and ambients;
-devise computational models and paradigms for antifragile engineering;
-provide analytical and simulation models and tools to measure a system's a=
bility to withstand faults, adjust to new environments, and enhance their i=
dentity and resilience in the process;
-foster the exchange of ideas and promote discussions able to steer future =
research and development efforts in the area of computational antifragility=
.

The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
-Conceptual frameworks for antifragile systems, ambients, and behaviours;
-Dependability, resilience, and antifragile requirements and open issues;
-Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing antifragile system=
s and behaviours;
-Frameworks and techniques enabling resilient and antifragile applications;
-Discussion and analysis if antifragile applications;
-Antifragile human-machine interaction;
-End-to-end approaches towards antifragile services;
-Autonomic antifragile behaviours;
-Middleware architectures and mechanisms for resilience and antifragility;
-Theoretical foundation of resilient and antifragile behaviours;
-Formal methods for resilience and antifragility;
-Programming language support for resilience and antifragility;
-Machine learning as a foundation of resilient and antifragile architecture=
s;
-Antifragility and resiliency against malicious attacks;
-Antifragility and the Cloud;
-Service Level Agreements for Antifragility;
-Verification and validation of resilience and antifragility;
-Antifragile and resilient services;
-Programming language support for antifragility (e.g., via functional langu=
ages);
-Object-oriented design for antifragility;
-Aspect-oriented design of antifragile systems;
-Models of concurrent behaviors of "parts" leasing to antifragile behaviors=
 of the "whole";
-Safety and security issues with reference to systems able to self-evolve t=
heir identity.

All accepted papers of the previous editions of the workshop are freely ava=
ilable (see https://sites.google.com/site/antifragile2016/). A description =
of two of the papers of the first edition of the workshop, as well as their=
 presentations, are available through the referenced page. For more informa=

ANTIFRAGILE is this year co-located with the 7th International Conference o=
n Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies, May 23-26, 2016, the Universi=
dad Polit=C3=A9cnica de Madrid in Madrid, Spain. ANTIFRAGILE is likely to t=
ake place on May 24 (though this has not been confirmed yet.)
