Call For Papers
International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC-04)
http://www.autonomic-conference.org
In conjunction with the 13th International World Wide Web Conference
Sheraton Hotel, New York, NY, May 17-18, 2004
OVERVIEW & GOALS
The increasing complexity of integrating, deploying and managing
computing systems is beginning to overwhelm the capabilities of
software developers and system administrators. The only viable
long-term solution is to create computer systems that manage
themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a
vision that is sometimes referred to as autonomic computing. Meeting
the grand challenge of autonomic computing requires scientific and
technological advances in a wide variety of fields, and new
architectures that support effective integration of the constituent
technologies.
The purpose of the International Conference on Autonomic Computing is
to bring together researchers in diverse fields who are addressing
important aspects of self-management in computing systems. In so
doing, we hope to establish a unified community that can work together
to realize the ultimate vision of large-scale self-managing
systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance
to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections
and relationships among different areas of research. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* Specific self-managing system components, such as storage, server,
client, database, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on
interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may
generalize to other components.
* AI and other generic technologies for self-managing components
including statistical, machine learning, and optimization techniques,
planning, knowledge representation, reasoning, fault diagnosis,
policies, sensing, and monitoring.
* General architectures for individual components or for autonomic
computing systems as a whole, based on Open Grid Services, Web
Services, or more novel paradigms based on biological, economic,
social, or other analogies.
* Toolkits, development environments, and languages for autonomic
computing. Support for building individual components of autonomic
computing systems or applications.
* Technologies that support inter-element interactions, such as
service-level agreements, negotiation protocols and algorithms, and
conversation support.
* System-level technologies or services that entail interactions
among two or more components of self-managing systems, such as
dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload
management, provisioning, and health monitoring.
* Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit
self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and/or
self-protection.
* Human interaction with autonomic systems, including user studies,
interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques
for defining, distributing, and understanding policies.
* Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding,
controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical
investigations of coupled feedback loops, robustness, and other
related topics.
PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS
Full papers (up to 8 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are
invited on a wide variety of topics relating to self-managing systems,
as indicated above. Submissions will be evaluated on relevance,
technical quality, and exposition. Papers must not have appeared
before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with published
proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another
forum during the ICAC-04 review process. Posters are not subject to
any of these restrictions. Authors should submit full papers or

Subject: CFP Epigenetic Robotics 2003
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 21:49:17 +0100
CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth International Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics:
Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems
http://www.epigenetic-robotics.org
August 25-27, 2004
Location: LIRA-Lab, University of Genoa
Genoa, Italy
Submission Deadline: March 1st, 2004
This workshop focuses on combining developmental psychology,
neuroscience, biology, and robotics with the goal of understanding the
functioning of biological systems. Epigenetic systems, either natural
or artificial, share a prolonged developmental process through which
varied and complex cognitive and perceptual structures emerge as a
result of the interaction of an embodied system with a physical and
social environment.
Epigenetic robotics includes the two-fold goal of understanding
biological systems by the interdisciplinary integration between neural
and engineering sciences and, simultaneously, that of enabling robots
and artificial systems to develop skills for any particular
environment instead of programming them for specific environments. To
this aim, psychological theory and empirical evidence should be used
to inform epigenetic robotic models, and these models should be used
as theoretical tools to make experimental predictions in developmental
psychology.
We encourage the submission from different disciplines such as
robotics, artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, biology
or neurophysiology, as well as interdisciplinary work bridging the gap
between science and engineering.
Subject Areas include, but are not limited to:
* The role of motivations, emotions, and value systems in development;
* The development of: concepts, consciousness and self-awareness,
emotion, imitation, intentionality, intersubjectivity, joint
attention, learning, motivation, non-verbal and verbal communication,
self, sensorimotor schemata, shared meaning and symbolic reference,
social learning, social relationships, social understanding (mind
reading, theory of mind), value systems;
* Interaction between innate structure, ongoing developing structure,
and experience;
* Related issues in algorithms, robotics, simulated robots, and
embodied systems;
* Strong AI (true intelligence and autonomy) versus weak AI;
* Related issues from human and nonhuman empirical studies.
For summaries of the papers from the latest workshops see: Zlatev and
Balkenius (2001), Prince (2002), and Berthouze and Prince (2003).
Please send any questions to the workshop co-chairs: Giorgio Metta
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Luc Berthouze ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
SUBMISSIONS
Papers not exceeding eight (8) pages should be submitted
electronically (PDF or Postscript) as attachment files to Luc
Berthouze ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Extended abstracts (maximum two
pages) can also be submitted, and will be presented as posters
(extended abstracts should also be submitted in PDF or Postscript as
attachments to Luc Berthouze ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Further

Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
- Producing and distributing a Call for Participation in the workshop
open to all members of the AI community. The Call for Participation
should make clear that all workshop participants are expected to
register for the main ECAI 2004 conference and that the number of
participants is limited. It should also make clear the process by
which the Workshop organizing Committee will select the participants.
- Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and selecting the
participants.
- The production of camera-ready copy for the workshop proceedings in
accordance with guidelines supplied by the Workshop Chair.
- Providing a provisional list of workshop participants.
