|                             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.
