Second Call for Submissions

ICAS 2006

Silicon Valley, July 19-21, 2006

http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICSA06.html

The Second International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS 2006) is organized July 19-21 2006 in Silicon Valley , California.

The conference focuses on general concepts of systems automation, and methodologies and techniques for designing, implementing and deploying autonomic and autonomous systems. Other special topics are concerning context-aware networks, services and applications, and the design and management of self-behavioral networks and services. It is also considering monitoring, control, and management of autonomous self-aware and context-aware systems and topics dedicated to specific autonomous entities, namely, satellite systems, nomadic code systems, mobile networks, and robots. It has been recognized that modeling (in all forms this activity is known) is the fundamental for autonomous subsystems, as both managed and management entities must communicate and understand each other. Small-scale and large-scale virtualization and model-driven architecture, as well as management challenges in such architectures are considered.

SYSAT 2006: Advances in system automation

AUTSY 2006: Theory and practice of autonomous systems

AWARE 2006: Design a nd deployment of context-awareness networks, services and applications

AUTONOMIC 2006: Autonomic computing: design and management of self-behavioral Networks and Services

MCMAC 2006: Monitoring, control, and management of autonomous self-aware

CASES 2006: Automation in specialized mobile environments

ALCOC 2006: Algorithms and theory for control and computation

MODEL 2006: Modeling, virtualization, any-on-demand, MDA, SOA

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, workshops, and panel proposals.
