The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics’08 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems
• Models and metrics
• Energy-efficient algorithms
• Programming paradigms
• Middleware for pervasive systems
• Software architectures and toolkits
• Positioning and tracking technologies
• Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems
• Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues
• Location- and context-awareness
• Tools, languages and platforms
• Applications and systems
• Resource, network and service (self)-management
• Enabling technologies for pervasive environments

Autonomics 2008 will thus offer a unique forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new results in these important areas.
