First
International Workshop on Autonomic Communication for Evolvable Next
Generation Networks
(WAGEN 2005) April 8, 2005 Jiuzhaigou, China |
| This
workshop will be held in conjunction with the 7th
International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS
2005), Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou, China, April 4-8, 2005. |
| In addition to ISADS
support, this workshop is also sponsored by IST-6475 (ACCA)
Autonomic Communication Coordination Action, a project funded by IST Future and Emerging
Technologies (FET) of the European Commission. |
| Scope: It has been recognised that there is a whole new breed of challenges of the current Internet that the established communication model is no longer sufficient to meet. These challenges emerge from the diversity of user communities and applications, network and services heterogeneity and convergence, all demanding their share of and presence in the Internet, which can be seen as a huge Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS). To this end, there is a pressing requirement for reinventing (or re-engineering) the Internet to be capable of dealing with more complexity, intelligence, flexibility, and relevance to multiple policies. In this context, the network elements need more adaptability and autonomy in order to evolve and adapt to new situations. Autonomic Communication is a new communication paradigm that addresses these challenges. The objective of this workshop is to explore Autonomic Communication as a key technology for ADS applied to networking, and a foundation upon which the Internet may acquire the capability to evolve autonomously. This workshop intends to solicit papers from areas ranging from next generation architectures for autonomic communication, dynamic service creation and deployment, policy multiplexing, self-recovery, self-diagnosing and self-repairing network components, context-sensitive communication and control, group communication to support the control plane self-organisation, emergent control systems to enable autonomic communication, mobile agents and mobile code for autonomic communication, object models for network autonomics. This half-day workshop will include technical papers and a panel discussion. The papers selected for this workshop are by invitation only. The goals are to provide a vision and a direction to this emerging research topic, and to disseminate Autonomic Communication to the Asia-Pacific region. Organizers:
