Third International Workshop on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Socio-Technical Systems (SASOST 2015)

The design and operation of computer systems has traditionally been driven by technical aspects and considerations. However, the usage characteristics of information and communication systems are both implicitly and explicitly determined by social interaction. This requires taking into account different types of relationships, such as trust or affinity, between the users and system components. The SASOST workshop addresses all aspects of self-adaptive and self-organising mechanisms in socio-technical systems, covering different perspectives of this exciting research area ranging from normative and trust management systems to socio-inspired design strategies for distributed algorithms, collaboration platforms, and communication protocols.
