 The 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for 
Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013)  

http://www.derby.ac.uk/computing/itaac2013

In association with

The 6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 
2013), December 9-12, 2013, Dresden, Germany

Call for Papers

Autonomic computing refers to principles and techniques for designing, 
building, deploying and managing computing systems with minimal human 
involvement. An autonomic system should be capable of adapting its behaviour to 
suit its context of use through methods of self-management, self-tuning, 
self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing.

Autonomic approaches are particularly suitable for use in Cloud Computing 
systems, where rapid scalability is required across a pool of resources to 
support various unpredictable demands, and where the system should 
automatically adapt to avoid failures in the underlying hardware impacting on 
the user experience. Autonomic Clouds emerge as a result of applying autonomic 
computing techniques to Cloud Computing, resulting into robust, fault tolerant 
and easy to manage and operate cloud architectures and deployments.

The application of intelligent approaches to Autonomic Clouds is gaining 
prominence in research and industry. Such intelligent approaches include 
evolutionary techniques, multi-objective and combinational optimization 
heuristics, genetic algorithms, neural networks, swarm intelligence, and 
multi-agents systems. Application of these intelligent approaches to Clouds can 
improve how computing systems and applications are built, used, managed and 
optimized, maximizing the benefits for users, applications and systems by 
reducing the operational, maintenance and usage costs of clouds. The interplay 
of intelligent approaches and Clouds offers numerous challenges.

The international workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for 
Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) aims to bring together researchers and 
practitioners across Cloud Computing, Intelligent Systems, and Autonomic 
Computing to discuss issues at the intersection of these disciplines. Key 
questions to be addressed include: How do emerging cloud architectures satisfy 
or contradict the vision of autonomic computing? How does the vision of 
autonomic computing satisfy the vision of self managing and self healing 
clouds? How do contemporary and emerging intelligent techniques support and 
enable both of these? Academics, researchers and practitioners are invited to 
submit original work on the theory and practice of intelligent and autonomic 
clouds.

Key topics

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  *   Theory and foundations of Intelligent Clouds

  *   (auto)scaling of Clouds
  *   Self-organizing, self-healing and self-managing Cloud systems
  *   Intelligent deployment, configuration and maintenance approaches for 
Clouds
  *   Agent based techniques for Clouds
  *   Adaptive and Evolutionary Approaches for Clouds
  *   Intelligent Cloud Workflows, Planning and Scheduling

  *   Intelligent Management and Monitoring for Clouds
  *   Intelligent approaches to Cloud Service Level Agreement satisfaction
  *   Applications, Toolkits and frameworks for Intelligent and Autonomic Clouds
  *   Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis due to Clouds

Submissions that offer position statements, theoretical and industrial 
perspectives, lessons learned, comparisons, evaluations and technical 
contributions to intelligent autonomic clouds are also welcome.

Paper submission guidelines

All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The material 
presented should be original and not published or under submission elsewhere. 
Authors should submit full papers of up to 6 pages, following strictly the IEEE 
Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript 
style<http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>, using two-column, 
single-space format, with 10-point font size. Figures and references must be 
included in the 6 pages.  At least one of the authors of each accepted paper 
must register early to attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear 
in the conference proceedings.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not 
currently under review for any other conference or journal. The proceedings 
will be published and will be made online through the IEEE Xplore.

All papers should be submitted online using EasyChair submission system 
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=itaac2013

High quality articles will be invited to become part of the Journal of Cloud 
Computing Advances, Systems and Applications (JoCCASA)
