-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Posters/Workshops/Tutorial/Demos/Exhibits: IEEE ICAC 2005 Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 22:21:22 -0500 (EST) From: Dongyan Xu <dxu(a)cs.purdue.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------- My sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Posters/Workshops/Tutorial/Demos/Exhibits The 2nd IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-05) Renaissance Seattle Hotel, Seattle, WA June 13-16, 2005 NEW! Posters/Workshops/Tutorial/Demos/Exhibits all due on March 3, 2005 (23:59EST) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ http://www.autonomic-conference.org To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale computer and software systems, they must manage themselves, in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. 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 conversation 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.

Committee on Computer Communications ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ANCS is new research conference that focuses on the design of the hardware and software components used to create modern communication networks. The combination of increasing network line speeds and expanding functional requirements pose continuing and growing challenges for system designers. New technology elements, including network processors, content addressable memories, configurable logic and special-purpose components offer new opportunities for meeting these challenges, but also raise a variety of new issues. ANCS focuses on architectures for networking and communication in the broad sense, including novel architectures, architectural support for advanced communication, algorithms and protocols for advanced architectures, software and applications for next-generation networking architectures, and methodology and benchmarking for evaluating advanced communication architectures. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network/communications processors * Intelligent co-processors * Router architectures * Switch fabrics/interconnection networks * Link scheduling, processor/thread scheduling, switch scheduling * Network adaptors * Application-specific networks (e.g. SAN) * Programmable /extensible networks * Secure communication * Traffic management * Packet classification * Content inspection and filtering * Energy-efficient designs We particularly encourage submissions containing highly original ideas. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, and correctness. The PAPER DEADLINE for submissions is May 9, 2005 at 11:59PM PST (US). NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED. ANCS will use double-blind reviewing, so submitted papers should not include the authors' names. All papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format for letter-size paper. Submissions must be viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 or higher) and should not exceed 7,000 words or 10 pages of conference paper format using 10 pt fonts. Submissions exceeding the required limit will not be reviewed by the program committee. Detailed submission instructions will be available by April 1, 2005 at: http://www.ancsconf.org. Like other conferences, ANCS requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to any other conferences or publications, that submissions not be previously published, and that accepted papers not be subsequently published elsewhere. All submissions will be acknowledged by July 30, 2002. If your submission is not acknowledged by this date, please contact the program chairs promptly at ancsPCchairs(a)arl.wustl.edu.
