**** Submission Deadline --- 5 February 2009 ****
---------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between
the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities
to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among
researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry
and academia.
The synergies between autonomic and opportunistic communications &
social networks studies and technologies are one of the primary interests
of this year's edition.
Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of
autonomic and opportunistic communications and are solicited.
Papers describing prototype implementations and deployments are welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Economic, biological and social models used for
autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Social networking technologies applied to autonomic and
opportunistic communications
* Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building
autonomic and opportunistic networks
* Adaptive security for self protection of networks
* Mobility models for opportunistic networking
* Novel management techniques for autonomic and
opportunistic communications
* Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks
* Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and
opportunistic communications
* Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements
* Algorithmic aspects associated with
autonomic communications environments and problems

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under
review by another conference or journal.
Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2009/.
Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and
