ICAC Topics of Interest

Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing, including:

• End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of resources, workloads, faults, power/thermal, and other challenges.
• Self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, mobile and embedded end systems, or specific application elements.
• Decision and analysis techniques and their use, such as machine learning, control theory, predictive methods, emergent behavior, self-organizing networks and rule-based systems.
• Monitoring systems for autonomic computing.
• Virtual machine, operating systems, hardware techniques or application frameworks in autonomic computing.
• Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems.
• Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement and tie-in with IT governance.
• Toolkits, frameworks, principles and architectures, from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques and virtualization.
• Experience with existing systems including workloads and models.
• Applications of autonomics to real problems in science, engineering, business and society.
