CALL FOR PAPERS In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Topics Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2009 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems Models and metrics Energy-efficient algorithms Programming paradigms Middleware for pervasive systems Software architectures and toolkits Positioning and tracking technologies Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues Locationand context-awareness Tools, languages and platforms Applications and systems Resource, network and service (self) management Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Call for Workshops The AUTONOMICS 2009 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program to be held on September 9-11 within the main technical conference. For detailed information >>click here Publication Official conference proceedings of ICST sponsored events appear in the Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) series jointly published by ICST and Springer. Inclusion in LNICST offers >>the following benefits to authors. The proceedings will be a Springer Verlang publication and the papers will be reviewed by several indexing servicing including DBLP, ZBlMath/CompuServe, IO-Port, EI, Scopus, INSPEC, ISI Proceedings, the Zentralblatt Math and Google Scholar. Selected best papers from Autonomics 2009 will be considered for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communication Systems (IJAACS).
