In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into

everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding

environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive

context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will

revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and

computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic

large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and

autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful

systems.

The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of

disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication,

distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges

call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive

computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new

converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing

and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an

international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems,

bringing together research communities in communication and computing,

promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines

involved.

Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication,

design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of

autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic,

possibly large-scale, distributed systems.

Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2009 reporting on

original research

related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and

deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract

attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic,

pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but

are not limited to:

- Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems

- Models and metrics

- Energy-efficient algorithms

- Programming paradigms

- Middleware for pervasive systems

- Software architectures and toolkits

- Positioning and tracking technologies

- Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems

- Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues

- Location- and context-awareness

- Tools, languages and platforms

- Applications and systems

- Resource, network and service (self) management

- Enabling technologies for pervasive environments

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,

clarity, relevance, and correctness.
