2nd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON AGENTS FOR AUTONOMIC COMPUTING (AAC 2009)to be held in conjunction withthe 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2009)June 19, BarcelonaDeadline extended to March 2Self-management of complex systems is core to both the AutonomicComputing and the SoftwareAgent communities. In both paradigms, individual autonomous entitiesmanage their ownbehaviour and their interactions with the environment and otherautonomous entities in accordancewith their individual goals based on their local perception of state.These entities may negotiatewith one another, and monitor and manage the resulting agreements. Theymay form dynamicvirtual organizations that manage their collective behaviour ininteraction with other suchorganizations. They may avail themselves of integration, repair andother services provided bydirectories, brokers and sentries, which themselves may be autonomous.Over the course of many years, the software agents community hasdeveloped and exploredarchitectures, technologies and standards that support these aspects ofagent behaviour, and havedemonstrated in multiple contexts agents and multi-agent systems thatexhibit autonomy,goal-directed adaptive behaviour, proactivity, reactivity,situated-ness, and an ability to learn andplan. The relatively younger field of autonomic computing seeks to buildcomputing systems thatexhibit these same properties and capabilities, but with few exceptionshas failed to tap into therich body of knowledge developed by the agents community. Some authorshave suggested thatautonomic computing may be the long-sought "killer app" for agents.The first AAC held during ICAC in 2008 in Chicago, made clear that theAgents and AutonomicComputing communities have much to gain from a closer association withone another.The aim of the second workshop is to further explore the potential ofthe agent paradigm, architectures, models and technology for autonomiccomputing;1. identify the specific challenges of autonomic computing that wouldrequire extensions tothe agent paradigm and current agent technologies;2. We invite the submission of papers that describe the potential and/orlimitations of applyingtraditional or new concepts in agent architecture or technology toself-managing computingsystems, and vice versa applying techniques developed within autonomiccomputing tomulti-agent systems. Papers describing and evaluating a workingprototype are particularlywelcome.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:(Meta-)Architectures for agents and multi-agent systemsPlanning and schedulingMulti-agent coordinationLearning algorithmsAdaptivity, situatednessEmergent behaviour, emergent configurationsService agreementsNegotiationLarge scale simulations/emulationsMobilityLegal implications of self-management/autonomy in networked systemsAccountability, verification and validationReliability, Integrity and SecurityLife cycle managementORGANISING COMMITTEE:Frances Brazier, Vrije Universiteit AmsterdamJeff Kephart, IBMKatia Sycara, CMUPROGRAMME COMMITTEE (provisional)Vinny Cahill, Trinity College DublinMichael Huhns, University of South CarolinaStephen Jarvis, Warwick UniversityCatholijn Jonker, Delft University of TechnologyVic Lesser, University of MassachusettsDejan Milojic, HP LabsJulian Padget, University of BathLin Padgham, RMIT UniversityH.
