How does this relate to your Autonomic Networking conference?
Good question!
Calling it the "First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems" might be shading the truth.
I don't want to reply on behalf of Guy P., but let me just say that Create-Net is an opportunistic organization. It tries to organize lots of events (even with co-sponsorship of IEEE, etc). They make a business out of it, and I'm not sure quality is their goal.
And there are other such organizations: WSEAS, ...
Personally, I will never accept to be a TPC member of such conferences, and would advise IFIP TC6 not to co-sponsor Create-Net events for example.
They are clearly competitors of well-established organizations such as ACM, IEEE and IFIP.
There are these days lots of such pseudo-conferences, with little scientific value, which "invite" you to submit papers, with high probability of acceptance (nearly 100%). This creates confusion/noise on the scientific scene.
We have also to make sure that IFIP is not just seen as another such pseudo-conference organizing body.
Best regards, Guy
Regards
Peter

***** AUTONOMICS ***** First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/ 28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy)
In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved.
Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics07 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems
- Models and metrics
- Energy-efficient algorithms
- Programming paradigms
- Middleware for pervasive systems
- Software architectures and toolkits
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems
- Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues
- Location- and context-awareness
- Tools, languages and platforms
- Applications and systems
- Resource, network and service (self) management
- Enabling technologies for pervasive environments
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: April 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 22, 2007 Final version due: September 5, 2007
