IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communication and NetworkManagement (ACNM'07)

CALL FOR PAPERS

1st IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communication and
Network Management (ACNM'07), Munich, Germany

http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm07/

In conjunction with the IFIP/IEEE Symposium on
Integrated Management (IM2007)

Paper Registration: January 31st, 2007
Submission: February 8th, 2007
Workshop: May 25th, 2007

*** AIMS & SCOPE ***

The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories,
mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm
for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The
focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and
management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that
are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves.
Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive
these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react
in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways
to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic
networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed
systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to
changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any
(predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and
resilience.
ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to
exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in
conjunction with IM2007, which draws many leading researchers in the
field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE
Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA.
