Overview

The ever-increasing complexity of Web-Service environments and platforms makes the task of manually managing their configuration and smooth operation a challenging and time consuming task. Autonomic computing systems, that is, systems that are based on self-configuring and self-managing elements, have emerged as a promising approach to dealing with this increasing complexity.

In this workshop we aim at investigating agent models and architectures for autonomic elements in order to create autonomic Web service environments, where components are sensitive to the environment�??s workload and tune themselves, collaborate, and negotiate to provide a self-managed and self-optimized system.

We envisage that the workshop will identify issues for future investigation, establish links between researchers and encourage international collaborations. 

 

Topics

Topics of relevance to the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:

    * Agent Architectures for Autonomic Elements
    * Multi-Agent Systems Architectures for Autonomic Web-Services and their Environments
    * Knowledge Representation and Reasoning for Autonomic Web-Services
    * Agent Learning Models for Autonomic Web-Services
    * Models of Cooperation and Coordination for Autonomic Web-Services
    * Understanding, Predicting, and Controlling Emergence and Evolution of Autonomic Web-Service Environments
    * Self-Protection, Security, and Trust
    * Open Grid Services
    * Novel Paradigms based on Economic, Social, or other Analogies
    * Service-Level Agreements, Negotiation and Conversation Support
    * Visualisation and User Interfaces of Autonomic Web-Services
    * Experiences with Autonomic Web-Services based on Agents
