The 14th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2017)
Columbus, Ohio USA .
July 17-21,2017.
Call For Papers
ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing, its foundations, principles, engineering, technologies, and applications. Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like large-scale data centers, cloud computing infrastructures, cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, self-organizing systems, organic computing systems, cognitive computing systems, or self-aware computing systems, are increasingly complex, involving many active, interconnected components requiring careful coordination. Being impossible for a human to manage such systems, the autonomic computing paradigm with its support for self-management capabilities becomes increasingly indispensable for the components of our IT world.
The conference seeks latest research advances on science and engineering concerning all aspects of autonomic computing, including but not limited to the following main research topics:
Topics of Interest
Foundations
- Fundamental science and theory of autonomic computing systems and feedback control for software, self-awareness and self-expression
- Algorithms, such as AI, machine learning, control theory, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, biological-inspired techniques, and socially-inspired techniques
- Formal models and analysis of self-management, emergent behavior, uncertainty, self-organization, self-awareness, trustworthiness
Resource Management in Data Centers
- Hypervisors, operating systems, middleware, and platforms for self-managing data centers and cloud infrastructures
- Sensing, energy efficiency, and resource adaptation
- Autonomic components, such as multi-core servers, storage, networking, and hardware accelerators
- Applications and case studies of end-to-end design and implementation of systems for resource management
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT)
- System architectures OS, services, middleware, and protocols for CPS and IoT
- Energy, real-time, and mobility management
- Design principles, methodologies, and tools for CPS and IoT
- Self-organization under severe resource constraints
- Applications and case studies of autonomic CPS and IoT
