Call for Workshop Proposals

1st Annual Workshop on Distributed Autonomous Network Management Systems  Engineering Emergence for Autonomic Systems  First Workshop on Hot Topics in Autonomic Computing  Second IEEE International Workshop on Self-Managed Networks, Systems & Services (SelfMan 2006)  Second International Workshop on Smart Grid Technologies

Call for Tutorial Proposals

Preceding the regular program of the Third International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2006) will be a day of workshops, to be held on June 12, 2006 in Dublin, Ireland. Proposals for half-day (3 hours)tutorials are solicited for presentation at the conference. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

        Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection

        Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies.

        Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components.

        Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications.

        New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conservation support, and behavior enforcement.

        System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self-managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning.

        Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies.

        Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics.

        Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications.

ICAC Tutorial proposals should include:

·          Title of the proposed tutorial

·          Names, affiliations, and contact information of the organizers, with one identified as primary contact

·          Up to one-page abstract describing the specific theme and scope of the tutorial, why the topic would be of interest to ICAC attendees, and the assumed level of its target audience, e.g. novice, intermediate, or advanced.

·          Audio/Video & infrastructure requirements

Please submit your tutorial proposal to (milan@intel.com) in plain text of PDF no later than 23:59 PST on March 03, 2006. Entries will be judged by a separate committee, headed by the tutorials chair.
