The 1st Budapest Tutorial and Workshop
on Autonomic Communications and Component-ware
(TACC 2008)
http://cascadas.mik.bme.hu/tacc
Budapest, Hungary, July 7-9, 2008
THEME
We live in a world were the ability to communicate is fundamental for
everyday life. A panoply of heterogenous devices allow us to interact,
through a variety of services, with other people regardless of geographical
boundaries. However, this comes at a cost of significant complexity and the
difficulty of configuring the resources that provide such services. In order
to become full usabile, these resources, and their panoply of services, need
to be able to carry out their functions without significant intrusion into
our lives. A new generation of composite, highly distributed, pervasive
services capable of addressing these configuration and complexity problems
is required. These, in turn, need to rely on networks and systems capable of
managing themselves, in accordance to overall broad directions - rather than
detailed control - provided by humans, in a manner that is typically
referred to as Autonomic Communications (AC).
The workshop has the clear vision of bringing together researchers who wish
to address all aspects of the design, development and integration of new
generation services and autonomic systems, and aims to contribute to the
growth of this research community to realise the vision of scalable
self-managing network services and systems.
We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects
of AC, including, but not limited to the following:
* Basic principles of autonomic behavior
* Socially-, economically- and bio-inspired communication paradigms
* Service self-organization and self-composition
* Design and architecture for autonomic systems
* Performance evaluation of autonomic systems
* Trust and security issues in autonomic environments
* Fault tolerance and dependability in autonomic systems
* Autonomic Provision of Contextual Information
* Pervasive supervision
* Intelligent transport systems
* Autonomic Behaviour in Peer-to-Peer networks
* Autonomic communication in heterogeneous devices
* Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications
* Self-maintained and self-configurable communications
* Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks
* Monitoring and self-managing in ACN
* QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks
* Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators,
network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc.
* Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing
autonomic systems
* Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection
and experimental evaluation measurements
* Interaction of autonomic systems with legacy Networking protocols
* Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid
computing, pervasive computing, etc.)
