                        Feedback Computing 2013

           The 8th International Workshop on Feedback Computing
              (https://www.usenix.org/conference/feedback13/)

                Part of USENIX Federated Conference Week
                       San Jose, California, USA
                             June 25, 2013

                (Early registration ends on June 3)

==========================================================================

Following the success of the pass six FeBID workshops and the newly debuted
Feedback Computing workshop in 2012, the 2013 International Workshop on
Feedback Computing will be held in June 2013, as part of USENIX Federated
Conference Week in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Feedback Computing is a
unique forum built around advancing feedback system theory and practice in
modeling, analyzing, designing, and optimizing computing systems. The
creation of this workshop represents the growing use of feedback in a
broader agenda and is a timely response to the following two trends: (1)
Computing systems are growing larger, smarter, and more complex, embedding
in physical world, human interactions, and societal infrastructure.
Systematic and feedback-driven approaches are critical to address the
dynamical complexity arise at new fields such as cyber-physical systems,
cloud computing, social networks, and mobile applications. (2) Advances in
disciplines such as machine learning, mathematical optimization, network
theories, decision theories, and data engineering provide new foundations
and techniques that empower feedback approaches to address computing
systems at scale and to achieve goals such as autonomy, adaptation,
stabilization, robustness, or performance optimization.

The Feedback Computing Workshop seeks original research contributions and
position papers on advancing feedback control technologies and their
applications in computing systems, broadly defined. Topics of interests
include but are not limited to

  - Theoretical foundations for feedback computing
  - New control paradigms and system architecture
  - Sensing, actuation, and data management in feedback computing
  - Learning and modeling of computing system dynamics
  - Design patterns and software engineering
  - Feedback computing education and awareness
  - Experiences and best practices from real systems
  - Applications in domains such as distributed systems, cloud computing,
data center resource management, real-time systems, cyber-physical systems,
social network, and mobility.
