Abstract

To deal with the increasing complexity of large&#8211;scale computer systems, computers must learn to manage themselves, in accordance with high&#8211;level guidance from humans and a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing&#046; Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies&#046; The purpose of the International Conference on Autonomic Computing is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing aspects of self&#8211;management in computing systems&#046; In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large&#8211;scale self&#8211;managing systems&#046; Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences<br><b>Keywords:</b> Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self&#8211;monitoring, self&#8211;configuration, self&#8211;optimization, self&#8211;healing, and/or self&#8211;protection&#046;<br>Software architectures for self&#8211;managing systems, based on interoperable Grid Services, agent&#8211;based systems, Web Services, or novel paradigms such as biological, economic or social&#046;<br>Specific self&#8211;managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements&#046; Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components&#046;<br>Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self&#8211;managing components, systems or applications&#046;<br>New technologies supporting system management, such as those based on service&#8211;level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement&#046;<br>System&#8211;level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self&#8211;managing systems (e&#046;g&#046;, health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning)&#046;<br>Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies&#046;<br>Fundamental science of self&#8211;managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics&#046;<br>Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large&#8211;scale deployments of self&#8211;managing systems or applications&#046;<br>
