| CALL FOR PAPERS |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+


The increasing complexity, heterogeneity, and dynamism of networks,

services, and applications have made information technology (IT) and

networking infrastructures quite difficult to operate and manage. In order

to address this challenge, the autonomic communication and computing

approach brings innovative solutions that require scientific and

technological advances in a wide variety of fields. The purpose of the Latin

American Autonomic Computing Symposium is to present and discuss research

results and practical experiences that address various aspects of autonomics

in computing and networking systems.

In its previous editions, LAACS has established itself as the principal

Latin American forum for discussing autonomic computing advances. In this

third edition, LAACS 2008 will be held in the city of Gramado, Brazil and

organized by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). LAACS 2008

is organized in technical and demo sessions, posters, panels, and tutorials.
