Second International IEEE WoWMoM Workshop 

on 

Autonomic Communications and  Computing

ACC 2006

26 June 2006

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.

 TOPICS

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• 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

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it tomailto:acc2005@autonomic-communication.org
Alternatively you can e-mail your manuscript to all organisers:

• Silvia Giordano <silvia.giordano(at)supsi.ch> and <silvia.giordano(at)iit.cnr.it>
• Michael Smirnov <smirnow(at)fokus.fraunhofer.de>,
• Raouf Boutaba <rboutaba(at)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca>

We apologise for bugs with submissions per e-mail that had been experienced by some authors until the bug was fixed.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined WoWMoM 2006 workshop proceedings.
