The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO).

We will interact with tutorial organizers in due time to define the schedule of the sessions and coffee breaks as well as technical and other requirements. Please submit your tutorial proposals as soon as possible. We will try to decide as early as possible on tutorial acceptance in order to give the organizers more time for planning.</span></tt><br>
