The Organic Computing Doctoral Dissertation Colloquium (OC-DDC) series is part of the Organic Computing (OC) initiative which is steered by a Special Interest Group of the German Society of Computer Science (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.). It provides an environment for PhD students who have their research focus within the broader OC community to discuss their PhD project and current trends in the corresponding research areas, including, for instance, research in the context of Autonomic Computing, Self-adaptive (Software) Systems, ProActive Computing, Complex Adaptive Systems, Self-Organisation, Self-Aware Computing, Interwoven Systems, and related topics.
