The 3rd IFIP International Conference on
Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06)
http://www.atc-conference.org/2006/
http://grid.hust.edu.cn/atc06/
Organized by Huazhong Univ. of Sci. and Tech. (HUST)
Co-Sponsored by HUST, NSFC, 863, ChinaGrid, IFIP
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (Applying)
Wuhan and Three Gorges, China, September 3-6, 2006
******************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication
and networks are growing with ever increasing scale and
heterogeneity, and becoming overly complex. Such the complexity
is getting more critical along with ubiquitous permeation of
embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the
growing and ubiquitous complexity, autonomic computing focuses
on self-manageable computing and communication systems that
perform self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-ware operations to
the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance.
Any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of
losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and pervasive
infrastructure based global computing exist universally in the
course of dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users,
systems and services. Trusted computing targets computing and
communication systems as well as services that are available,
predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable,
dependable, persist-able, security/privacy protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical
self-manageable autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services.
ATC-06 addresses the most innovative research and development
in these challenging areas and includes all technical aspects
related to autonomic and trusted computing and communication.
ATC-06 as a conference comes out of the First Int'l Workshop on
Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems
(TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), and the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and
Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, April).
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
Autonomic Computing Theory and Models
* Nervous/organic model, reaction, pro-action, control,
persistence, negotiation, cooperation, etc.
Autonomic Computing Architectures and Systems
* Autonomic elements, relationship, architecture, framework,
middleware, prototype, system, etc.
Autonomic Computing Components and Modules
* Autonomic component/module such as memory, storage,
database, device, server, proxy, OS, etc.
Autonomic Communication and Services
* Autonomic network, ad hoc/sensor net, grid, P2P, web
service, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.
Autonomic System Tools and Interfaces
* Tool/interface for autonomic system development, test,
monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.
Trust Models and Specifications
* Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust,
over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.
Trust-related Security and Privacy
* Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy,
intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.
Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems
* Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness,
survivable systems, failure recovery, etc.
Trustworthy Services and Applications
* Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, mobile/
pervasive services, novel applications, etc.
Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues
* Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics,
sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc.

==PAPER PUBLICATION==
Accepted papers will be published by Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS).
Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to
register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers
will be removed from the digital library after the conference.
Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special
issues of the Journal of Autonomic and Trusted Computing (JoATC), and the
International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN).
A set of high quality papers of the conference, after further revisions,
also will be published in an edited book published by Springer, Germany,
and in an edited book published by IDEA Publishing Group, USA, respectively.
