AMS 2003 -- Active Middleware Workshop -- Call For Papers

Autonomic Computing Workshop 5th Annual International Workshop on Active Middleware Services Seattle WA. AMS 2003. In conjunction with the 12th International Symposium on Grid Computing (HPDC 12).

http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/ams2003

Call For Papers

The increasing complexity of networks, services and applications has necessitated investigating the design, development and deployment of active systems, services and applications that are capable of autonomic existence -- i.e. they are self-defining, self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-protecting, self-healing, context aware and anticipatory.

The 5th Annual International Active Middleware Workshop will focus on the Autonomic Computing and will bring together leading researches and ideas in this emerging discipline.

The scope of the workshop includes the following and other related areas:

  • 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 and scout systems
  • Policy engines and deductive shells
  • Autonomic/Peer-to-peer/Context-aware middleware services
  • Security services and models for autonomous applications and active environments
  • Trust management in autonomic and active environments
  • Runtime and management issues in autonomic and active environments
  • "Fast and frugal" decision making for reactive control
  • QoS management in autonomic and active environments
  • Active, adaptive and ad hoc routing
  • Service dissemination and discovery protocols
  • Sensor networks, active content networks, and pervasive environments
  • Active networks and storage as grid computing resources
  • Multi-resolution modeling for scalable applications

Paper Submissions

AMS 2003 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Please submit extended abstracts (5 pages maximum). Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. Hard copies will be accepted only if electronic submission is not possible. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Any questions concerning hardcopy submissions or any other issues may be directed to the Program Chair.

Publication

The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and distributed at the conference.

Special Issue

The 6 best papers in the workshop's focus area of Autonomic Computing will be chosen for journal-length papers in a special issue of cluster computing, The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications.
