How does this relate to your Autonomic Networking
conference?
Calling it the "First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and
Communication Systems" might be shading the truth.

***** 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.
