CALL FOR PAPERS
Autonomic Networking 2006
SMARTNET - INTELLCOMM - IWAN -WAC
IFIP TC6 Conference, sponsored by WG6.2 (Network and Internetwork Architectures), WG6.6 (Management of Networks and Distributed Systems), WG6.7 (Smart Networks) France Télécom - Paris - France - Sept. 25-29, 2006
"Autonomic Networking" will be the first international conference on all the aspects of autonomic networking (architecture, services, tools, security, communications, ...). This conference groups four past events: SMARTNET focused on tools for the autonomy; INTELLCOMM on autonomic management and services, IWAN on active networks and WAC on autonomic communications. Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to, the following:
Tools for the autonomic networking Intelligent agent and multi agent system , Rule-based systems Distributed game control Genetic algorithms, machine learning tools for autonomic systems Policy-based management Computer-supported cooperative works Distributed software development and maintenance Emergent control and robotic systems Real-time event control and management Software defined/configured radio Process and resource allocation and modeling Tools for modeling, analysis, testing and validation Open network interfaces Autonomic Network stability Context-aware Networks & Services Quality of Autonomic Networks & Services Experiences from Testbeds and Trials
Autonomic management and services Intelligent control, routing and management Automated configuration management Self healing networks ; proactive security and resilience Bio inspired security and networking systems Management of nomadicity QoS, traffic engineering Sensor networks and ad hoc networks Traffic and transportation control: logistics systems Value added services and multimedia services Autonomic Management and/or Services Architectures and Life-cycle Self- management and context-aware Management Overlay Network Management Service-aware Overlays Quality of Context Management Experiences from Testbeds and Trials

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ACC 2006, 2nd IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Computing, Niagara-Falls, Buffalo-NY. 26 June 2006 http://www.autonomic-communication.org/acc/index.html
Ubiquitous and self-organized Internet, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks are expected to be some of the basic building blocks of pervasive computing environments. However, the promise of pervasive computing environments will not be realized unless these systems can effectively "disappear". In order to do that they need to become autonomous by managing their own evolution and configuration changes without explicit user or administrator action.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic computing and autonommic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia.
*
Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing systems
*
Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic systems and networks
*
Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks
*
Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic communications
*
Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and computing systems
*
Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and networks
*
Languages, development and securely programmable environments for autonomic communications systems
*
Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic communication and computing systems
*
Autonomic communication and computing testbeds and measurements

As FET (Future and Emerging Technologies, the long-term research part of the EU IST programme) is defining the detailed content of the next calls in the forthcoming 7th Framework Programme of Research (FP7), your input is sought and will be crucial for us in order to identify priority research challenges. These are the last days (until 15/4/2006) to submit your comments to the consultation forum at www.beyond-the-horizon.net, on topics including Pervasive Computing and Communications and Security. All these themes, and other ideas for new research directions openly submitted, are also accessible through the FET consultation forum at http://www.cordis.lu/ist/fet/id.htm .
To actively stimulate reflections on long-term research in security for FET in FP7, I also wish to invite you to the open workshop DISTTRUST http://www.disttrust.org/ which will take place soon after INFOCOM, on 28 April 2006 in Barcelona, Spain. This workshop will discuss the following long-term emerging research directions:
* Evolutionary and Adaptive Security * Privacy and Trust for Dynamic Coalitions * Distributed Security
Please do not hesitate to forward this message to anybody else who might be interested.
Kind regards,
Fabrizio Sestini
