##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ##########
The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing - Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2008/ http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/
Organized by Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, Norway Technical Sponsorship by the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008
##############################################
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity, becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong).
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- AC/OC Theory and Models Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc.
- AC/OC Architectures and Systems Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc.
- AC/OC Components and Modules Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc.
- AC/OC Communication and Services Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.
- AC/OC Tools and Interfaces Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.
- Trust Models and Specifications Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.
- Trust-related Security and Privacy Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.
- Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc.
- Trustworthy Services and Applications Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services, novel applications, etc.
- Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc.
== IMPORTANT DATES ==
Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008 Authors Notification: March 05, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008
Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 26-28, 2008
== ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION ==
Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF file. Submit your paper(s) at the ATC-08 submission site: http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/sub/
== PAPER PUBLICATION ==
Accepted papers are planned to be published by Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS). The page limit of the final camera-ready paper will be announced in the paper acceptance notification. At least one of authors of an accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise the paper will be removed from the digital library after the conference.
Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special issues of the Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing (JoATC), and the International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN).
