##################### ATC-08 Call For Papers ######################

The 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -

                http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/

                        Organized by
Oslo University College and University of Stavanger, Norway

            Technical Sponsorship by
the IEEE Task Force on Intelligent Ubiquitous Computing

                 Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008

###################################################################

Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing dramatically in both scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration,
self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x
operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention
or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes
natural-analogue concepts like self-organization and controlled
emergence.

Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not
fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in
pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic
interaction and cooperation of various users, systems and services.
Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and
communication systems as well as services available, predictable,
traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable,
persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc.

A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical
self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services.
ATC-08 addresses the most innovative research and development in these
challenging areas and includes all technical aspects related to
autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC).
ATC-08 is a successor of the First Int'l Workshop on Trusted and
Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES-05, Japan), the Int'l
Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06,
Austria), the 3rd International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted
Computing (ATC-06, China), and the 4th International Conference on
Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-07, Hong Kong).

Topics include but are not limited to the following:

- AC/OC Theory and Models

Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition,
self-organization, emergence, etc.

- AC/OC Architectures and Systems

Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware,
observer/controller architectures, etc.

- AC/OC Components and Modules

Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc.

- AC/OC Communication and Services

Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics,
agent, transaction, etc.

- AC/OC Tools and Interfaces

Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring,
assessment, supervision, etc.

- Trust Models and Specifications

Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat,
risk, reputation, reliability, etc.

- Trust-related Security and Privacy

Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion
detection/awareness, protocols, etc.

- Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems

Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable
systems, failure recovery, etc.

- Trustworthy Services and Applications

Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secured mobile services,
novel applications, etc.

- Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues

Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology,
culture, psychology, economy, etc.

== IMPORTANT DATES ==

Submission Deadline: January 05, 2008
Authors Notification: March 05, 2008
Final Manuscript Due: April 05, 2008

Workshop under "midnight sun" at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway June 
26-28, 2008

== ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION ==

Prepare your paper according to the LNCS style maximum 15 pages in PDF
file. Submit your paper(s) at the ATC-08 submission site:
http://www.ux.uis.no/atc08/sub/

== PAPER PUBLICATION ==

Accepted papers are planned to be published by Lecture Note in
Computer Science (LNCS). The page limit of the final camera-ready
paper will be announced in the paper acceptance notification. At least
one of authors of an accepted paper is required to register and
present their work at the conference; otherwise the paper will be
removed from the digital library after the conference.

Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in
special issues of the Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing
(JoATC), and the International Journal of High Performance Computing
and Networking (IJHPCN).
