* 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 managed 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. Authors 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 USENIX's guidelines, please contact the program 
co-chairs, icac13cha... at usenix.org, or the USENIX office, 
submissionspol... at 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 product... at 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, ICAC13 will host two special tracks, each of which 
will be reviewed by its own subcommittee. Dr. Levent Grgen 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.
