AHPC 2019 - 5th International Workshop on Autonomic High Performance Computing (AHPC 2019)

Due to the increasing complexity, scale and heterogeneity in computing systems and applications, including hardware, software, sensors, communications and networks, there are needs for Autonomic Computing (AC) focusing on self-manageable systems that exhibit self-configuration, self-healing, self-protection, self-optimization, and/or self-monitoring. It is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded and IoT devices, Clouds, Big Data, and the rising need of real-time data stream processing.
Autonomic computing requires monitoring, decision making, resource management, and actuation capabilities. The works span a wide spectrum of topics and expertise such as distributed systems, computer architecture, middleware services, databases and data-stores, high speed networks, machine learning, and control theory.
The purpose of this workshop is intended to bring together specialists and researchers in those converging specialties to share views and address technical issues and developments for autonomic and high performance computing.
The AHPC Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Autonomic computing systems that exhibit Self-configuration, self-healing, self-protection, self-optimization, self-awareness, and/or self-monitoring
Software engineering principles and architectures in Autonomic Computing
Algorithms: machine learning, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, biological-inspired techniques, and socially-inspired techniques
