CALL FOR PAPERS

1st IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Trust in Autonomic Systems

in conjunction with IM 2013

May 31, 2013, Ghent, Belgium

Scope:
======

Autonomic systems are envisaged to enhance future networks by moving from
manual management to dynamic and autonomic control and management. In
particular, autonomic systems determine their behaviour, in a reactive or
proactive manner, based on the external stimuli (environment aspects), as
well as their goals, principles and capabilities while cognitive systems
also introduce the sense of experience and knowledge. In the case of
cognitive networks, this definition can be translated as the ability to
dynamically select the networks configuration, through self-management
functionality that reaches optimal decisions, taking into account the
context of operation (environment requirements and characteristics), goals
and policies (corresponding to principles), profiles (corresponding to
capabilities), and machine learning (for managing and exploiting knowledge
and experience). However, autonomicity and thus lack of human intervention
in network management raises concerns on how trustworthy such networks can
be and how to build the road to their wide adoption and deployment. Those
concerns come from all ICT actors while manufactures and academics are
trying to address such issues so as to move forward with autonomic
solutions.

>>From the operators point of view stability issues, reliability of the
mechanism, performance, alternatives if the system fails and of course
economical aspects in terms of how OPEX and/ or CAPEX will be affected by
moving to autonomic solutions comprise the main components of trust. The
operators will not deploy autonomic solutions, even when manufactured, if
they are not trusted. For example, multiple SONs are documented in STD and
are available, but their deployment could be slowed, or even blocked by the
coordination issues which need to be dealt.

This workshop targets at highlighting all these aspects and receive
operators point of view on trust as well. Therefore, the Workshop will
welcome contributions presenting advances in various research areas related
to trust, such as:

*       Trust definition(s)
*       Trust metrics and methods for evaluating trust
*       Trust modelling methodologies
*       Trust management systems for self-organizing systems
*       Evaluations of the effects of trust in self-organizing systems
*       Trust standardization, testing and certification
*       Trust and game theory
*       Trust in Multi-Agent Systems
*       Bio-inspired, distributed /dynamic trust management
*       Trust self-organization and autonomic networks
*       Pervasive computational trust, use of context-awareness
*       Mechanisms for building trust in autonomic systems
*       Trust in Autonomic Networks from the human operator perspective



Submission Guidelines:
======================

All papers must be limited to 8 pages in an IEEE 2-column style and will be
subject to a peer-review process. The accepted papers will be published in
IEEE Xplore. Papers will be withdrawn from IEEE Xplore in case the authors
do not present their paper at the workshop. For further information, you may
