By exploring systems' capability for self-learning, self-healing, self-recovery, self-configuring, self-adapting, etc, autonomic computing aims to build "autonomic nervous systems" which address the challenges of complicated systems arising from the rapid explosion of information and system/solution integration. IJAC serves as a forum for individuals in the field to publish their research results, thus facilitating communication and networking among autonomic computing researchers and engineers, and stimulating production of high-quality autonomic computing solutions and architectures.
Topics covered include
Autonomic programming models, tools and environments
Autonomic resources scheduling and management
Autonomic middleware and toolkits
Autonomic monitoring and management
Autonomic policy and QoS/IT system management
Autonomic performance evaluation and modelling
Autonomic architectures and mathematical foundations
Autonomic application integration issues
Autonomic grid, services
Autonomic access control and security issues
Ontology programming for self-configuring
Sensor array structure and signal processing
Intelligent control and pattern recognition
Autonomic applications, system solutions, case studies
Convergence of web services, grid and autonomic computing
The objective of IJAC is to establish an effective channel of communication between autonomic computing researchers, engineers and policy makers. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of autonomic computing. The international dimension is emphasised in order to foster international collaboration in autonomic computing to meet the needs of broadening the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge.
Readership
The journal provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers working in fields relevant to autonomic computing to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
