CFP - Latin American Autonomic Computing Symposium (LAACS 2006) - updated (fwd)
by Carlos Becker Westphall 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

===================================================== LAACS 2006 CFP First Latin American Autonomic Computing Symposium (LAACS 2006) Organized by Unicamp, Puc-Campinas and SBC Support Sponsors: LARC, RNP and IEEE (approval pending) Corporate Sponsors: IBM and Padtec http://www.fee.unicamp.br/laacs2006 ===================================================== To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale IT systems today, computer elements must learn to manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance and human supervision - a concept that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields. The purpose of the 1st Latin American Autonomic Computing Symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing aspects of self-management and automation in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale autonomic systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomic computing systems, components or applications that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection behavior. * Middleware technologies for autonomic systems, based on interoperable Grid services, Agent-based systems, Web services. * Supporting technologies for autonomic computing, such as correlation techniques, knowledge representation, ontologies, process automation, systems & network management, service-level agreements & policies, negotiation, behavior enforcement, monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization and remediation, workload management and provisioning, optimization, security, communication protocols, etc. * New paradigms supporting systems, components or applications for autonomic computing, such as biological (or genetic, evolutionary), economic, mathematical (or statistical), or social. * Methodologies, frameworks, tools, models, languages, runtime and interfaces for building systems, components or applications for autonomic computing. * Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. * Experiences with autonomic systems, components, tools or application prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER SUBMISSIONS Technical papers (maximum of 12 pages in length), Application papers (maximum of 8 pages in length) and Posters (maximum of 4 pages in length) written in ENGLISH are invited on a wide variety of topics related to autonomic computing as indicated above. All submissions will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes.
