16:30 - 18:00: ACC 2005 Panel
"Autonomics" - A Common Cause or a Flag of Convenience
Overview:
The last few years has seen a huge growth in research activity into autonomics, first focusing on Autonomic Computing but now also encompassing Autonomic Communications. The explosion in workshop and journal special issues in this area seems to point to broadening but also a dilution of the idea of autonomic by encompassing a wide variety of research topics from context-aware systems, ad hoc networks, policy-based management to multi-agent systems, self-organising systems, bio-inspired systems etc.
This panel will address itself to whether we can identify common principles of "autonomics" that apply across the autonomic computing and autonomic communications domains and if so what might they be. In addressing this question we aim to guide researchers in what does and does not qualify as autonomic-related research, and ultimately to allow us to know an autonomic system when we see one.
