[Tccc] CFP - ATC 2010 - The 7th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing

=======================================ATC2010
CFP======================================
The 7th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing
(ATC 2010)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality
-
--------------------------http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/atc2010/-------------------------------
Technically Sponsored by IEEE CS TCFC
Xi¡¯an, China, 26-29 October, 2010
Co-located with UIC 2010 (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/)
========================================================================================
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, Oslo and Brisbane. ATC
2010 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 2010 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 Models
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
Multi-core CPU, memory, storage, database, device,
server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc.
- AC/OC Communication and Services
Networks, self-organized net, web service, P2P, grid,
EaaS, could, 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/P2P/grid/cloud 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.
