<p class=MsoNormal>OVERVIEW<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Large-scale computer systems, from IT infrastructures and
Grids to enterprise<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>datacenters and Internet services, present common challenges
in managing <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>resources and applications to maximize performance and power
efficiency while <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of
varying <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>workloads and failures. A system that addresses these
challenges by <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>integrating monitoring, decision-processing and actuation is
an Autonomic <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Computing System. Research in autonomic computing spans a
variety of <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>areas, from computer systems, architecture, databases and
networks to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>machine learning and control theory. The purpose of ICAC is
to bring <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>together researchers and practitioners across these
disciplines to address <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>the multiple facets of self-management in computing systems
and applications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing,
including:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of
resources, workloads,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>faults, power/thermal, and other challenges.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Self-managing components, such as server, storage,
network, data center or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>specific application elements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Decision and analysis techniques, such as machine
learning, control theory,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>predictive methods, emergent behavior, selforganizing
networks and rule-based <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Monitoring systems for autonomic computing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Virtual machine, operating systems, hardware
techniques or application<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>frameworks in autonomic computing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Novel human interfaces for monitoring and
controlling autonomic systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Management topics, such as specification and
modeling of service-level <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>agreements, behavior enforcement and tie-in with IT
governance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Toolkits, frameworks, principles and architectures,
from software <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>engineering practices and experimental methodologies to
agent-based <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>techniques and virtualization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Fundamental science and theory of selfmanaging
systems: understanding,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>controlling or exploiting system behaviors to enforce
autonomic properties<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Experience with existing systems<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>• Applications of autonomics to real problems in
science, engineering, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>business and society.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Papers will be judged on originality, significance,
interest, correctness, clarity <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>and relevance to the broader community. Papers should report
on experiences, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>measurements, user studies, or other evaluations, as
appropriate. Evaluations of <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>a prototype or large-scale deployment of autonomic systems
and applications is <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2
pages) are invited <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing.
Submitted papers <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>must be original work, and may not be under consideration
for another conference <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>or journal. Complete formatting and submission instructions
can be found on the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>conference web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear
in proceedings<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>distributed at the conference and available electronically.
Authors of accepted <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>papers and posters are expected to present their work at the
conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>ICAC-10 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on topics
of interest to the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to
publish proceedings, and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>should cover areas that complement the main program. ICAC-10
will also feature a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>demonstration and exhibition session consisting of
prototypes and technology<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or
autonomic computing principles.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Entries will be judged by a separate committee led by the
demo/exhibit chair.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>INDUSTRY SESSION<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One of ICAC’s important roles is to bring together
researchers and practitioners <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>from academia and industry. In its industry session, ICAC
helps fulfill this <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>role by presenting an industry viewpoint on technologies,
products, and market <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>needs. The industry session also addresses current
challenges, and opportunities <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>for academic and corporate research collaborations. We
encourage industry <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>leaders, including entrepreneurs, product developers,
architects, managers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>marketers and end users, to submit their papers and posters
reflecting such <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>industry perspectives as part of the regular submission
process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>STUDENT AWARDS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of
a commemorative <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference
and an honorarium <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>that will partially cover travel and hotel costs. A student
paper is defined as <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>one in which the principal author and presenter is a
student.<o:p></o:p></p>
