CfP: WAC 2004

The 1st IFIP TC6 WG6.6 Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) Autonomic Communication Principles 18-19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ Call For Papers Scope The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC) - a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). This workshop explicitly focuses on the grounding principles to achieve purposeful behavior on top of self-organization (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.). Papers are solicited that study network element's autonomic behavior exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimized, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network groups and communities. The goals are to understand how autonomic behaviors are learned, influenced or changed, and how, in turn, these affect other elements, groups and the network. The self-organized Internet will be able to sense its environment, to perceive these changes and to understand the meaning of these changes, thus facilitating new ways to perform network control, management, middle box communication, service creation, etc. This will be based on universal and fine-grained multiplexing of numerous policies, rules and events which are done autonomously but facilitate desired behavior of groups of network elements. Though the primary application domain is the Internet, papers addressing autonomic communication principles for mission critical distributed systems are also welcome. The emphasis of the event is on long-term research agenda with broad interdisciplinary approach to explore concurrently multiple paradigm spaces. Along with invited papers and a panel the conference will offer possibility for technical papers and position statements. Papers are solicited on at least the following topics: * Policy-based communication and policy multiplexing in NGN * Group communication for control and management plane * Designing evolvable next generation networks * Self-organisation for NGN re-configurability * Management of nomadicity * Large AC testbeds * AC calculi * Modelling and analysis of AC systems * Theoretical foundations of autonomic network control * Mobile code and network programmability for AC * Generic network-level service composition at run-time * Context handling within AC * Theoretical foundations of rule-based systems; * Security, immunity and resilience of AC * Applied AC (QoS, traffic engineering, routing, etc.); WAC 2004 is technically co-sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG6.6 and will be organized by the FP6 project "Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action" of Future and Emerging Technologies program of the IST. Communication Paradigms for 2020 IST Program Future and Emerging Technologies plans to launch a long-term research (proactive initiative) in the area of novel communication paradigms; it will address high-level visionary and risky research of fundamental nature and shall explore its limits and opportunities in increasingly important areas of economical and social development in Europe. Autonomic Communication addresses these challenges from a network-centric technological viewpoint to enable true ambient intelligence and I-centric communication scenarios. Information for Authors Submissions will be subject to at least three peer reviews and should describe original work (not submitted or published elsewhere) and be 12 single-spaced pages or less in length. Submissions should include: title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and list of keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including the author's name, position, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. Authors are requested to follow the LNCS's guidelines. One of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at WAC '2004. Address for Submissions Authors are requested to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF, or in Postscript formats to the following address: wac(a)autonomic-communication.org Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and distributed after the event.

An important attribute of such networks is that they can be deployed "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Concepts like ambient intelligence and disappearing computers that are part of a global and fully self-organized Internet hint at the scope of this vision, but also at the formidable challenges that come with it. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: o Architecture and Design o Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation o Internet integration o Social and economic aspects o Pervasive / ubiquitous computing o Localization and mobility management o Security o Energy-efficient protocols and power management o Applications and Service Support o Data dissemination and peer2peer systems PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. For paper submission, a web page with detailed information will be activated in few days. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. Proceedings are planned to be published by IEEE COMputer SOCiety and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended version of their papers for possible publication in special issues of international journals and magazines. IMPORTANT DEADLINES =================== - August 2nd, 2004: Submission deadline (hard) - September 29, 2004: Acceptance notification - October 18, 2004: Final version due VENUE ===== The meeting will take place in the famous winter resort of St. Moritz, in Switzerland. This place is synonymous with quality and elegance. The magnificent landscape of the Swiss alps and the fascinating culture of the Engadine valley provide an inspiring background for this conference. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants.

It provides a forum for exploring most recent research and findings in this area, comparing results, exchanging experiences, and promoting collaboration and cooperation among researchers in the field. The workshop aims at identifying the common abstractions and patterns found in the existing systems, as well as the core low-level services that are needed to build general-purpose ubiquitous computing environments. The workshop focuses on different aspects of system and middleware research and the challenges involved when applying them to support ubiquitous computing. Topics: ------- The workshop focuses on presenting state of the art and emerging research, as well as experience reports, in the following topics: * System support infrastructures and services * Middleware for ubiquitous computing * Architectural structure, design decisions and philosophies * Interoperability and wide scale deployment Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Paper submissions must be 5-8 pages long in LNCS format and have to cover one of the topics listed above. Furthermore, we will prioritize experience papers describing lessons learnt from built systems, including information about approaches that did and did not work, unexpected results, common abstractions, abstraction mapping among different systems, common building blocks present in different architectures, and metrics for evaluating ubiquitous computing infrastructures. Submissions must be blinded for peer review (no author names and affiliations and no obvious references).
