Call For Papers
Overview

Enterprise-scale cloud platforms and services systems present common and cross-cutting
challenges in maximizing power efficiency and performance while maintaining predictable
and reliable behavior, and at the same time responding appropriately to environmental and
system changes such as hardware failures and varying workloads. Autonomic computing
systems address the challenges in managing these environments by integrating monitoring,
decision-processing and actuation capabilities to autonomously manage resources and
applications based on high-level policies.

Research in cloud and autonomic computing spans a variety of areas, from distributed
systems, computer architecture, middleware services, databases and data-stores, networks,
machine learning, and control theory. The purpose of the Fourth International Conference
on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC) is to bring together researchers and
practitioners across these disciplines to address the multiple facets of cloud and
autonomic computing.

Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to cloud and autonomic
computing and their intersections, including those that bear on connections and
relationships among different research areas or report on prototype systems or
experiences. The goal is to continue our international forum focused on the latest
research, applications, and technologies aimed at making cloud and autonomic computing
systems and services easy to design, to deploy, and to implement, while also being
self-manageable, self-regulating and scalable with little involvement of humans or system
administrators.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Autonomic Cloud Computing

  *   Self-managing cloud services
  *   Autonomic resource and energy management in cloud computing
  *   Autonomic cloud applications and services
  *   Autonomic virtual cloud resources and services
  *   Cloud workload characterization and prediction
  *   Monitoring, modeling and analysis of cloud resources and services
  *   Anomaly behavior analysis of autonomic systems and services

Autonomics for Extreme Scales

  *   Large scale autonomic systems
  *   Self-optimizing and self-healing at peta-computing scale
  *   Self-managing middleware and tools for extreme scales
  *   Experiences in autonomic systems and applications at extreme scales
(peta/exa-computing)

Autonomic Computing Foundations and Design Methods

  *   Evaluation, validation and quality and correctness assessment of autonomic loops
  *   Theoretical frameworks for modeling and analyzing autonomic computing systems,
control and decision theory
  *   Model-based design, software engineering, formal methods, testing, programming
languages and environments support
  *   Knowledge representation and visualization of behavior of autonomic systems and
services

Autonomic Computing Systems, Tools and Applications

  *   Self-protection techniques of computing systems, networks and applications
  *   Stochastic analysis and prediction of autonomic systems and applications
  *   Benchmarks and tools to evaluate and compare different architectures to implement
autonomic cloud systems
  *   High performance autonomic applications
  *   Self-* applications in science and engineering
  *   Self-* Human Machine Interface

Paper/Poster Submission and Publication

Full papers (a maximum of 12 pages in length), industrial experience reports (a maximum of
8 pages) and posters (a maximum of 4 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics
relating to cloud and autonomic computing as indicated above. All papers must follow the
IEEE proceedings format. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including
originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity, and relevance to the broader
community. Papers are strongly encouraged to report experiences, measurements, and user
studies, and to provide an appropriate quantitative evaluation.

Submitted papers must include original work, and may not be under consideration for
another conference or journal. They should also not be under review or be submitted to
another {workshop, conference, or journal} during the ICCAC 2016 review process. Authors
should submit full papers or posters electronically following the instructions from the
ICCAC 2016 conference web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings
distributed at the conference and available electronically. Authors of accepted
papers/poster are expected to register for and present their work at the conference.

Authors are also encouraged to submit a poster or demo that summarizes and highlights the
main points of their paper.
