-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACF-Members: CFP - Special Issue of JNSM on on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Datum: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:53:34 -0000 Von: David Lewis <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Antwort an: <Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> Organisation: TCD An: <acf-members(a)autonomic-communication-forum.org> CALL FOR PAPERS JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT ========================================= Special Issue on Autonomic Pervasive and Context-aware Systems Manuscript due March 31, 2006 http://www.sce.umkc.edu/jnsm/ The increasing integration of computing power into the fabric of everyday life and the wireless interconnection of embedded and mobile computers is making Mark Weiser's vision of Pervasive Computing a reality. Pervasive computing systems must constantly adapt their behavior in order to meet the needs of users within every changing physical, social, computing and communication context. Pervasive computing elements need to dynamically form ad hoc collaborations to perform useful tasks for mobile users, on-demand. To do this, they must possess sufficient intelligence and knowledge-awareness to react appropriately to a wide range of contexts. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that adaptive behavior experienced by the users and operators of pervasive computing systems is useful, relevant, non-distracting and consistent with individual and organizational goals. However, the complexity and dynamism of pervasive computing systems renders the manual constraint of their operation impractical, and such systems must therefore possess the ability to self-manage and operate within high-level constraints provided by users and operators. Such self-managing, or autonomic, behavior is challenging given the extreme heterogeneity, ad hoc organization and disparate ownership of the elements in any given pervasive computing environment. This special issue aims to bring together work that can contribute to the effective governance of pervasive computing systems: - Autonomic pervasive computing and communications - Policy-based management of pervasive computing environment - Constraint/programming of self-organizing adaptive behavior - Management of context gathering systems - Trust maintenance - Self-management architectures for pervasive computing - Exchange and meaning of autonomic knowledge - Collaborative policy engineering for pervasive computing applications Guest Editors: -------------- David Lewis, Trinity College Dublin (Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie) Simon Dobson, University College Dublin (Simon.Dobson(a)ucd.ie) Instructions to Contributors: ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers to Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie.
