SCOPE AND TOPICS
ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing techniques, foundations, and applications. Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centers, compute clouds, smart cities, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, and embedded or pervasive environments, are becoming increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage. Autonomic computing systems reduce this burden by managing their own behavior in accordance with high-level goals. In autonomic systems, resources and applications are managed to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying workloads, failures, and malicious threats. Achieving self-management requires and motivates research that spans a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, including distributed systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling, control theory, optimization, planning, decision theory, user interface design, data management, software engineering, emergent behavior analysis, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners from disparate disciplines, application domains and perspectives, enabling them to discover and share underlying commonalities in their approaches to making resources, applications and systems more autonomic.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Self-managing components, such as compute, storage, networking devices, embedded and real time systems, and mobile devices.
- AI and mathematical techniques, such as machine learning, control theory, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, bio-inspired techniques, and their use in autonomic computing.
- End-to-end design and implementation of systems for management of resources, workloads, scalability, availability, performance, reliability, power/cooling, and security.
- Monitoring components and platforms for autonomic systems in IT or cyber-physical environments.
- Hypervisors, operating systems, middleware, and application support for autonomic computing.
- Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems.
- Goal specification and policies, modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement, IT governance, and business-driven IT management.
- Frameworks, principles, architectures, toolkits (from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques).
- Automated management techniques for emerging applications, systems, and platforms, including social networks, cloud computing, big data systems, multi-core servers, smart cities, and cyber-physical systems.
- Fundamental science and theory of self-managing systems for understanding, controlling or exploiting emergent system behaviors to enforce autonomic properties.
- Self-organization and emergent behavior in technical systems trustworthy self-organizing systems.
- Infrastructures and architectures for organic computing systems.
- Online self-integration of complex systems.
- Applications of autonomic computing and experiences with prototyped or deployed systems solving real-world problems in science, engineering, business, or society.
Paper Submission
All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Papers will be judged on originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader community. Papers are strongly encouraged to report on experiences, measurements, user studies, and provide an appropriate quantitative evaluation if at all possible.
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the conference.
Papers can be submitted in one of the following three categories with different acceptance criteria for each category:
- Full research papers limited to 10 pages (double column) plus 1 additional page for references
- Experience papers limited to 8 pages (double column) plus 1 additional page for references
- Short papers limited to 6 pages (double column) plus 1 additional page for references
Accepted papers will be included in the ICAC 2015 Proceedings, which will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through the ICAC 2015 submission site:
