Autonomic Applications papers sought

released July 15, 2003

The Autonomic Applications Workshop (AAW) will be held Dec. 17 in Hyderabad, India, during the International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2003). The deadline for submitting papers to AAW is Aug. 1. The objective of the Autonomic Applications Workshop is to establish a forum to investigate the research issues and enabling technologies involved in the convergence of biological, technological, and information systems (referred to as autonomic computing). Autonomic computing research will enable the next generation of applications, ones that are capable of managing, controlling, and optimizing themselves.

This workshop will focus on the research issues and challenges facing the development of autonomic applications that are self-defining, self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-anticipating, contextually aware of their environments, and open. Workshop topics will include:

• Autonomic, dynamic data-driven, pervasive applications
• Autonomic and pervasive Grids
• Programming paradigms applications development support for active and autonomous environments
• Composition and interaction models of autonomic and pervasive applications
• Bio-system analogs in autonomic computing
• Integrative theories and frameworks for autonomic computing
• Multi-agent systems
• Policy engines and deductive shells
• Autonomic/Peer-to-peer/Context-aware middleware services
• Security services and models for autonomous applications and active environments
• Runtime and management issues in autonomic and active environments
• Multi-resolution modeling for scalable applications

Original and unpublished work of up to 10 pages in length can be submitted until Aug. 1. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. For more information, go to http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/~parashar/AAW-HiPC2003/, or send questions via email to Manish Parashar, parashar@caip.rutgers.edu.
