OVERVIEW
ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing techniques,
foundations, and applications. Autonomic computing refers to
methods and means for automated management of performance, fault,
security, and configuration with little involvement of users or
administrators. Systems introducing new autonomic features are
becoming increasingly prevalent, motivating research that spans
a variety of areas, from computer systems, networking, software
engineering, and data management to machine learning, control
theory, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together
researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to
address multiple facets of adaptation and self-management in
computing systems and applications from different perspectives.
Autonomic computing solutions are sought for clouds, grids,
data centers, enterprise software, internet services, data
services, smart phones, embedded systems, and sensor networks.
In these environments, resources and applications must be managed
to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining
predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying
workloads, failures, and malicious threats. Papers are solicited
from all areas of autonomic computing, including (but not limited
to):

* End-to-end techniques for management of resources, workloads,
performance, faults, power/cooling, security, and others.

* Self-managing components, such as server, storage, network
protocols, or specific application elements, and embedded and
mobile end systems such as smart phones.

* Decision and analysis techniques and their use, such as machine
learning, control theory, predictive methods, probability and
stochastic processes, queuing theory methodologies, emergent
behavior, rule-based systems, and bio-inspired techniques.

* Monitoring systems for autonomic computing.

* Hypervisor, operating systems, hardware, or application support
for autonomic computing.

* Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic
systems.

* Management topics, such as specification and modeling of
service-level agreements, behavior enforcement and tie-in with
IT governance.

* Toolkits, frameworks, principles and architectures, from
software engineering practices and experimental methodologies
to agent-based techniques and virtualization.

* Fundamental science and theory of self-managing systems:
understanding, controlling or exploiting 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 and society.

Papers will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
correctness, clarity and relevance to the broader community.
Papers should report on experiences, measurements, user studies,
or other evaluations, as appropriate. Evaluations of a prototype
or large-scale deployment of systems and applications is expected.

PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS
Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in the two-column ACM proceedings
format) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of
topics relating to autonomic computing. Submitted papers must be
original work, and may not be under consideration for another
conference or journal. Complete formatting and submission
instructions can be found on the conference web site. Accepted
papers and posters will appear in proceedings distributed at the
conference and available electronically. Relevant top ICAC'12
papers will be invited for "fast-track" submissions to the
ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).

WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION
ICAC'12 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on topics of
interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshop proposals
should be submitted to the Workshop Chair, Fred Douglis
(fred.douglis@gmail.com) by February 10, 2012. Workshops are
expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that
complement the main program. ICAC'12 will also feature a
demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and
technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or
autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a
separate committee led by the demo/exhibit chair.

INDUSTRY SESSION
One of ICAC's important roles is to bring together researchers
and practitioners from academia and industry. In its industry
session, ICAC helps fulfill this role by presenting an industry
viewpoint on technologies, products, and market needs. The
industry session also addresses current challenges, and
opportunities for academic and corporate research collaborations.
We encourage industry leaders, including entrepreneurs, product
developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users,
to submit their papers and posters reflecting such industry
perspectives as part of the regular submission process.
