CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of Int'l Journal on Autonomous and Adaptive Communications 
Systems (IJAACS) on Self-* Systems

http://www.cs.umb.edu/~jxs/pub/cfp-ijaacs-self-star.html


IJAACS is seeking original manuscripts for its special issue on self-* 
systems. This special issue aims to reveal the current state-of-the-art 
to build and operate self-* (e.g., self-configuring, self-organizing, 
self-managing, self-healing, self-scaling and self-adaptive properties) 
systems.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Formal models and methods for self-* systems
- Autonomy, adaptability, scalability, survivability, optimality and 
stability of serf-* systems
- Uncertainty in self-* systems
- Management and control of self-* systems
- Modeling and simulation of self-* systems
- Design and performance issues in self-* systems
- Interdisciplinary (e.g., biologically, socially and economics 
inspired) approaches to build self-* systems
- Software engineering and performance engineering for self-* systems
- Tools, testbeds and deployment aspects for self-* systems
- Applications and experiences with self-* systems

Application domains include, but not limited to, autonomic computing, 
computer networks, distributed systems, green computing and networking, 
grid/cloud computing, intelligent agents, molecular communication, 
nano-scale computing and networking, pervasive computing and robotics.
