Brief Bio
Prof. Jouni Isoaho received his M.Sc.(Tech) in electrical engineering, and his Lic.Tech. and Dr.Tech. in signal processing from Tampere University of Technology, Finland, in 1989, 1992 and 1995, respectively. He was an associate professor in the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, until he was invited to the communication systems professorship at the University of Turku, Finland, in 1999. There he heads the communication systems laboratory. His research interests include future communication system concepts, applications and implementation techniques. His special interests relating to embedded systems are dynamically reconfigurable agent based systems for future communication and multimedia applications including information security and dependability aspects. Prof. Isoaho is the originator of hierarchical agent monitoring design approach for parallel and distributed embedded systems, and has several pioneering works promoting self-aware embedded system design.

Brief Bio
Dr. Juha Plosila received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics and communication technology from the University of Turku, Turku, Finland, in 1993 and 1999, respectively. He is an Adjunct Professor in digital systems design at the University of Turku, Department of Information Technology, and holds currently a five year position of Academy Research Fellow at the Academy of Finland (2006-2011). He directs, at the University of Turku, an active research group focusing on modeling, design, and verification of network-on-chip (NoC) and 3D integrated systems at different abstraction levels. Plosila's research interests include formal methods for NoC and embedded system design, reliable on-chip communication techniques, on-chip thermal monitoring and control methods, dynamically reconfigurable systems, and application mapping on NoC based systems. He is an Associate Editor of International Journal of Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems (IJERTCS) published by IGI Global. Prof. Plosila is currently leading several research projects related to parallel and distributed embedded systems, funded by the Academy of Finland. Self-aware and adaptive (SAA) systems are capable of monitoring their own states and the surrounding environment, and adapt themselves to different scenarios and requirements. The concept of self-awareness and adaptivity belongs to the wide scope of autonomic computing, while focusing on the aspects of awareness and adaptation. SAA features become essential in the emerging and future embedded system, as the number of components and their heterogeneity increase significantly, for both single-chip parallel processing and physically distributed processing. While existing works propose various superior features for adaptive systems, practical and efficient solutions to achieve SAA systems still call for wider and more dedicated efforts, including the discussion on SAA theory and modeling, scalable design approaches and framework, design techniques and practical implementation for low-power/energy, high dependability and security, etc.. The SAAES special session addresses these important and challenging topics. This special session welcomes both regular papers and positional papers (with innovative and well-explained ideas but not yet complete implementation) in the following and related areas:

• Theory, Specification, Modeling and Implementation of Self-aware and Adaptive Systems
• Application Engineering for SAA Systems
• Self Design for SAA Systems
• Self-aware and Adaptive Operations for Energy Efficiency, Dependability and Security
• Formal Methods in the Design and Verification of SAA Systems
• Wireless Sensor Networks with Self-aware and Adaptive Features
• Case Studies for Smart Houses, Intelligent Automotive or other Industrial Scenarios
• Self-aware and Adaptive Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) in the Embedded System Context
