Motivation

   The First International workshop on Autonomic Communication will have as its main theme Autonomic Communication Principles; the objective is to explore synergies between related research initiatives and recent achievements within many disciplines in attempt to highlight insights from self-organisation, bio-inspired, non-Turing computing/communication paradigms, advances in control theory, complex systems research, non-linearity, etc. helping to enable the design creativity that will fuel the next round of the Internet evolution.

   The insights and inspirations are to be also found, analysed and understood in the Internet itself, in its on-going upgrade to the global communication infrastructure supporting true mobility via wireless access, flexible personalisation of services, high resilience and security of the infrastructure, as well as support for GRIDs in various application fields and interworking with non-conventional (e.g. sensor) networks.

   A common understanding that emerged recently in both industry and academia is that the research frontier these days is in re-designing of the Internet control plane aiming at reducing the management overhead and eliminating the need for manual configurations altogether.

The workshop is the event organised by Autonomic Communication Coordination Action (ACCA) of FP6 FET program and technically co-sponsored by IFIP Technical Committee 6 (Communication Systems), WG 6.6 "Management of Networks and Distributed System", the workshop sponsor so far is Fraunhofer FOKUS.

The workshop will take place in Berlin 18 and 19 of October 2004 at the Conference facilities of Deutsche Telekom AG.
