Track Description

Many systems are better represented by models with a dynamic structure/topology. Changes in system structure involve the modification of components' interactions and the addition/removal of components.

Examples of structure variant systems include adaptive computer architectures, self-configuring sensor networks and biological systems. The ability to mimic changes in system structure into model topology provides a powerful construct to obtain simpler descriptions of reality, enabling the representation of very complex systems.

We solicit original, previously unpublished papers offering new contributions in the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

Methodology

· Discrete event, synchronous and hybrid dynamic structure M&S formalisms

· Verification & validation of dynamic structure models

Applications

· Reconfigurable computer architectures

· Biological systems

· Self-adaptive systems

· Self-configuring sensor networks

· Random networks

· Adaptive software topologies

· Adaptive algorithms

· Manufacturing systems

· Mobile agents

· Dynamic structure cellular automata
