* Overview



  ICAC is the leading conference on 
autonomic computing techniques, 
foundations, and applications. 
Large-scale systems of all types, such 
as data centers, compute clouds, sensor 
networks, embedded or pervasive 
environments, and the Internet of 
Things 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 manag
ed 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, 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



  Papers are solicited from all areas 
of autonomic computing, including (but 
not limited to):



  ** Self-managing components, such as 
compute, storage, and networking 
devices; embedded and real-time 
systems; and mobile devices such as 
smart phones

  ** AI and mathematical techniques, 
such as machine learning, control 
theory, operations research, 
probability and stochastic processes, 
queuing theory, rule-based systems, and 
bio-inspired techniques, and their use 
in autonomic computing

  ** End-to-end design and 
implementations for management of 
resources, workloads, availability, 
performance, reliability, 
power/cooling, security, and others

  ** Monitoring systems that can scale 
to large environments

  ** Hypervisors, operating systems, 
middleware, or application support for 
autonomic computing

  ** Novel human interfaces for 
monitoring and controlling autonomic 
systems

  ** Goal specification and policies, 
including specification and modeling of 
service-level agreements, behavior 
enforcement, IT governance, and 
business-driven IT management

  ** Frameworks, principles, 
architectures, and toolkits, from 
software engineering practices and 
experimental methodologies to 
agent-based techniques

  ** Automated management techniques 
for emerging applications, systems, and 
platforms, including social networks, 
Big Data systems, multi-core 
processors, and Internet of Things

  ** Fundamental science and theory of 
self-managing systems for 
understanding, controlling, or 
exploiting emergent system behaviors to 
enforce autonomic properties

  ** Applications of autonomic 
computing and experiences with 
prototyped or deployed systems solving 
real-world problems in science, 
engineering, business, or society

  ** 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.  





* Paper Submissions



  Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages) and 
short papers (4 pages) are invited on a wide 
variety of topics relating to autonomic 
computing. Both full and short papers should 
be typeset in two-column format in 10 point 
type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, 
with the text block being no more than 
6.5" wide by 9" deep. Both kinds of 
papers should be submitted via the Web 
submission form, which will be available 
here soon. Complete formatting and 
submission instructions can be found here. 
Auth
ors are also encouraged to submit a 
poster or demo that summarizes or 
augments their paper (see below).



  Simultaneous submission of the same 
work to multiple venues, submission of 
previously published work, or 
plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or 
fraud. USENIX, like other scientific 
and technical conferences and journals, 
prohibits these practices and may take 
action against authors who have 
committed them. See the USENIX 
Conference Submissions Policy for 
details. Papers accompanied by 
nondisclosure agreement forms will not 
be considered. If you are uncertain 
whether your submission meets US
ENIX's guidelines, please contact the 
program co-chairs, 
icac13chairs@usenix.org, or the USENIX 
office, submissionspolicy@usenix.org.
At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper in person at the conference. The accepted papers will be available online to registered attendees before the conference and will also appear in proceedings distributed via USB drives at the conference. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify production@usenix.org. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning on June 26, 2013. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the USENIX ICAC '13 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. 





* Special Tracks



  To facilitate community collaboration 
and exchange of ideas in emergent 
technological areas, ICAC 13 will host 
two special tracks, each of which will 
be reviewed by its own subcommittee. 
Dr. Levent Gürgen will lead a special 
track on self-aware Internet of Things 
and Dr. Karsten Schwan will lead a 
special track on management of Big Data 
systems.





* Posters, Demonstrations, and 
Exhibitions



  ICAC '13 will also feature a poster, 
demonstration, and exhibition session 
consisting of research prototypes and 
technology artifacts that demonstrate 
autonomic software or autonomic 
computing principles. Please check back 
here for formatting and submission 
instructions, plus the Web submission 
form specific to this session, which 
will be available here soon.





* PhD Thesis Digest Forum



  Current PhD students who are working 
on topics relevant to autonomic 
computing are invited to submit a short 
summary (up to 2 pages) of their 
theses. Top selected submissions will 
be presented at a PhD forum during the 
ICAC '13 conference. Please check back 
here for submission instructions.
