Information and telecommunications technologies are migrating towards the Future Internet (FI) era. Key characteristics envisaged are powerful network infrastructures, and a plethora of diverse applications and services. The infrastructure will be highly pervasive: people, smart objects, machines and the surrounding space, all embedding devices (e.g., sensors, RFID tags, etc.), will result in a highly decentralized environment of resources, interconnected by dynamic Networks of Networks. These characteristics entail that management in the FI era will have additional complexity to support, which derives from the need to handle multiple, demanding and changing situations, in which distinct QoE/QoS (Quality of Experience/Service) levels should be provided, the exploitation of the infrastructure for increased efficiency, and the support of diverse interactions, objectives and policies designated by business model aspects.

Autonomic systems are seen as the most viable approach for realizing the FI era, at first due to their self-management and learning features. This opens the opportunity towards multiple and essentially heterogeneous management systems on top of a managed infrastructure in both fixed and mobile Internet. Autonomic systems call for the design, development and validation of functionality in the area of context acquisition and reasoning, the derivation and evaluation of policies, distributed optimization techniques, and learning for acquiring and sharing knowledge and experience. Moreover, they call for platforms (implementing frameworks) that will enable the federation between systems of various domains, governance, dynamic embodiment (deployment, integration, orchestration) of functionality.

In the light of the aspects above the workshop welcomes submissions related, but not limited, to the topics below:

? Future Internet vision, requirements for management, business drivers for facilitating adoption of autonomics; reference models for the evolvable FI architecture.

? New business models for a sustainable Future Internet.

? Unified Management Framework: components, patterns, interfaces and systems; Consolidation and federation of approaches; Principles for network governance and re-defined human-to-network interactions.

? Performance evaluation of autonomic network intelligence; functionality and results on context reasoning, policies, distributed optimization, machine learning.

? Cooperation protocols, knowledge/experience management and sharing.

? Prototypes, experiments, trials, pilots, and guidelines for migration or transition to an autonomic Future Internet.

? End-to-end validation with respect to QoE/QoS offered, cost factors, convergence, coherence, scalability.

? Stability of autonomic solutions, approaches for establishing trust and certification.

? Standardization initiatives.

All papers will be subject to a peer-review process.

Important Dates

Paper submission: October 31, 2010

Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2011

Camera-Ready Papers: February 15, 2011

Workshop date: June 5, 2011

Please note:

- Paper length should be uniformly 5 pages max, with maximum 1 pages at an over length charge.

- To submit your paper (pdf file format, A4 paper size) please visit http://edas.info/

- Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarised material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who has engaged in either practice.
