Workshop on Networked Systems; Laguna Beach, CA; September 22-24, 2005

美国国家科学基金会(NSF)和陆军研究办公室(ARO)共同赞助了这场名为“网络系统：在不可靠的网络平台上实现可靠系统”的研讨会。该研讨会的目标是将参与工具开发和网络系统开发的有经验的研究人员与作为进展利益相关者的行业领袖聚集在一起。总的目标是就这一领域的持续研究交流意见，并缩小基金会和软件实践之间的差距。该讲习班将是1993年开始的一系列讲习班中的第12期，这些讲习班致力于探讨与以成本效益开发高质量软件系统有关的关键问题。讲习班将讨论联网系统中的下列挑战，这些挑战将需要软件和系统技术的进一步重大进步：(1)系统集成和动态适应；(2)动态结构的影响；(3)故障的影响；(4)可靠性设计；(5)规模效应。预计研讨会将就在具有挑战性的软件密集型系统的工程中推进最先进技术的前景方向达成新的更高水平的协议，这些系统涉及无线网络计算，并且具有健壮性、容错性和高可用性。

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Army Research Office (ARO) jointly sponsor this workshop entitled, "Networked Systems: Realization of Reliable Systems on Unreliable Networked Platforms". The goal of this workshop is to bring together experienced researchers who have been involved in tool development and networked system development, with leaders in industry who are stakeholders in the progress. The overall aim is to exchange ideas for continued research in this area and to reduce the gap between foundations and software practice. The workshop will be the 12th in a series of workshops, initiated in 1993 and devoted to exploring the critical problems associated with cost-effective development of high-quality software systems. The workshop will discuss the following challenges in networked systems that will require further major advances in software and systems technology: (1) System integration and dynamic adaptation; (2) Effects of dynamic structure; (3) Effects of faults; (4) Design for reliability; and (5) Effects of scale. The workshop is expected to produce a newly heightened level of agreements on the promising directions for advancing the state of the art in the engineering of challenging software-intensive systems that involve wireless networked computing and are robust, fault tolerant, and highly available.
