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

***** 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 Autonomics’07 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.
