======================================================================== Call for Papers - IEEE ICAC Workshop QoS in Autonomic Communication Networks 2006 Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Paper submissions: Mar 20, 2007 Conference: June 11-15, 2007 ========================================================================
ICAC is organising a special workshop on the increasingly significant field of autonomic communication networks (ACN). ACN are self-aware systems that promise clear advantages to users and network providers over previous technologies and may change the way we think about the design, management and use of communication networks. With ACN, users could benefit from reliable and dynamically adaptable communication networks with minimal effort in configuration and operation, which could in turn dramatically reduce costs of operation and management of communication infrastructures. A significant requirement for such systems is the ability to maintain a desired degree of quality of service despite their dynamic nature.
ACN are novel systems and their design and study are complex activities with many challenges and open questions to be properly addressed. The workshop will encourage the interaction among researchers in the field and will promote the exchange of ideas.
We welcome original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of ACN, including, but not limited to the following:
- Provision of quality of service in autonomic communications
- Self-maintained and self-configurable communications
- Self-protecting communication networks and computer networks
- Monitoring and self-managing in ACN
- QoS in autonomic mobile ad-hoc networks
- Evaluation and demonstration tools: analytical models, simulators, network test-beds, libraries, middleware, etc.
- Software engineering techniques and best practices for developing autonomic networks
- Performance analysis of ACN
- Balancing of desired properties, e.g. self-adaptation Vs. self-protection and experimental evaluation measurements
- Interaction of autonomic networking systems with legacy Networking protocols
- Applications of autonomic networks to the creation of new services (grid computing, pervasive computing, etc.)
Paper length should be limited to 15 pages double-column in IEEE format. You can download the template for latex here or here.
High quality submissions will be considered and evaluated for publication in a premier journal.
