***** AUTONOMICS 2009 *****
3nd International ICST Conference on Autonomic Computing and
Communication Systems
http://www.autonomics.eu/
September 9-11, 2009, Republic of Cyprus, Cyprus Univerity of
Technology, Limassol, Cyprus http://www.cut.ac.cy
Sponsored by ICST, technically sponsored by CREATE-NET
***** Call for Workshop Proposals *****
The ICST Autonomics 2009 Organizing Committee invites proposals for
the Workshop Program to be held on September 9-11 within the main
technical conference.
Autonomics 2009 workshops will provide a meeting for presenting novel
ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the
conference itself. Its aim is to stimulate and facilitate active
exchange, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and
ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the
general area of Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems.
Members from all areas of the Autonomics community are invited to
submit workshop proposals for review. Workshops on new and emerging
topics, or on applications, are particularly encouraged.
Workshops can vary in length, but most will be one full day in
duration. Workshop organizers and attendees are expected to register
both for their workshop and the main Autonomics conference.
Workshop proceedings will be published by LNICST (Springer Verlang).

The selection of the workshops to be included in the final Autonomics
2009 Workshop program will be based upon multiple factors, including:
the scientific/technical interest of the topics, the quality of the
proposal, balance and distinctness of workshop topics, and the
capacity of the conference workshop program. Note that authors of
proposals addressing similar and/or overlapping content areas and/or
audiences may be requested to merge their proposals.
Responsibilities of Autonomics 2009 and Workshop Organizers
For all accepted proposals, Autonomics 2009 will be responsible for:
* Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole.
* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the workshop.
* Together with the organizers, determining the workshop date and time.
* Duplicating working notes and distributing them to the participants.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:
* Setting up a web site for the workshop.
* Advertising the workshop and issuing a call for papers
* Collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying authors of
acceptance or rejection on a timely basis, and ensuring a transparent
and fair selection process.
* Ensuring that the workshop organizers and the participants register
to the workshop and to the main conference (at least one author must
register for both the workshop and the conference for the paper to
appear in the workshop notes and ACM post-proceedings).
* Prepare ACM post-proceedings including revised versions of papers
(Deadlines to be communicated in due time)
Autonomics reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register
for the workshop to support its running costs.
