CALL FOR PAPERS:

Computing systems including hardware, software, communication, and networks
are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity, becoming
overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the
ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To
cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC)
focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit
self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing,
self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible
without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally
addresses adaptivity, robustness, and controlled emergence as well as
nature-inspired concepts for self-organization.

Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of
losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust
and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems, and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as
services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable,
sustainable, dependable, persistable, security/privacy protectable, etc.

A series of grand challenges exists to achieve practical autonomic or
organic systems with truly trustworthy services. Started in 2005, the series
of ATC conferences has been held at Nagasaki, Vienna, Three Gorges (China),
Hong Kong and Oslo. ATC-09 will include a highly selective program of
technical papers, accompanied by workshops, panel discussions and keynote
speeches. Established as a premier venue in the area of autonomic and
trusted computing, ATC-09 will offer a forum for researchers to exchange
ideas and experiences in the most innovative research and development in
these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to
autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). Topics
include but are not limited to the following:

- AC/OC Theory and Model: Models, negotiation, cooperation, competition,
self-organization, emergence, verification etc.

- AC/OC Architectures and Systems: Autonomic elements & their
relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures,
etc.

- AC/OC Components and Modules: Memory, storage, database, device, server,
proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc.
- AC/OC Communication and Services: Networks, self-organized net, web
service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.

- AC/OC Tools and Interfaces: Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system
development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.

- Trust Models and Specifications: Models and semantics of trust, distrust,
mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.

- Trust-related Security and Privacy: Trust-related secure architecture,
framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.

- Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems: Fault-tolerant systems, hardware
redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc.

- Trustworthy Services and Applications: Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P
e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc.

- Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues: Trust standards and issues
related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy,
etc.

== PAPER PUBLICATION ==
Accepted main conference papers are planned to be published by Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS, EI indexed). At least one author of each accepted
paper is required to register and present their work at the conference,
otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. Selected
papers, after extension and further revisions, will be published in special
issues of prestigious journals. The information on how to submit papers will
be soon given on the conference webpage: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~atc09/
