Scope
Distributed computer systems are becoming more and more complex, both to manage and to develop. Autonomic Computing can provide self-management of computer systems and forms a possible solution to building large scale, robust systems. Individual autonomous systems manage their own behavior and their interactions with the environment and other autonomous systems, in accordance with their individual goals based on their local perception of state. Such systems may negotiate with one another, and monitor and manage the resulting agreements. Virtual organizations are formed dynamically to coordinate interaction between systems, often to coordinate interaction in a multi-level organization. Designing and building such systems forms a challenge that requires scientific and technological advances in a number of different research areas.

The relatively young field of Autonomic Computing seeks to build computing systems that exhibit properties such as autonomy, goal-directed adaptive behavior, proactivity, reactivity, situatedness, and an ability to learn and plan. Building truly dynamic, dependable and robust systems is one of today’s challenges.

Areas / Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1 - Software engineering methods for building autonomic systems
2 - QoS management in autonomic and dynamic environments
3 - Emergent behavior, emergent configurations
4 - Service agreements and negotiation
5 - Legal implications of self-management/autonomy in networked systems
