<br>
ACSOS workshops will provide a meeting place for
presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly
more focused way than the conferences themselves. Their
aim is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange,
interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and
ideas. Contributions will be collected in ACSOS
Companion Proceedings, published by IEEE Computer
Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE
Digital Library.<br>
For more information, please refer to the ACSOS 2021
call for workshops and tutorials.<br>

The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing
and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is the premier forum
for sharing the latest research results, ideas and
experiences in autonomic computing, self-adaptation and
self-organization. The mission of ACSOS is to provide an
interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to address these challenges to make
resources, applications, and systems more autonomic,
self-adaptive, and self-organizing. ACSOS provides a
venue to share and present their experiences, discuss
challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress
research. The conference program will include technical
research papers, in-practice experience reports, vision
papers, posters, demos, and a doctoral symposium.<br>
<br>
ACSOS is now seeking proposals for workshops in the
areas of autonomous and self-adaptive systems to run
alongside the main conference. We seek workshop
proposals on a very broad set of topics within these
fields, including<br>
<br>
- Autonomic and Self-* system properties, theory,
engineering, and practice<br>
- Data-driven management<br>
- Mechanisms and principles for self-organisation and
self-adaptation<br>
- Socio-technical self-* systems<br>
- Autonomic and self-* concepts applied to hardware
systems<br>
- Convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and
Internet of Things<br>
- Self-adaptive cybersecurity<br>
- Cross disciplinary research<br>
<br>
More detail on these topics can be found in the main
ACSOS CFP, which is reported below.<br>

**************** Goals and Mission ****************<br>

<br>
<tt>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).<br>
<br>
Emerging large-scale systems (including data centers,
cloud computing, smart cities, cyber-physical systems,
sensor networks, and embedded or pervasive environments)
are becoming increasingly complex, heterogeneous, and
difficult to manage. The challenges of designing,
controlling, managing, monitoring, and evolving such
complex systems in a principled way led the scientific
community to look for inspiration in diverse fields,
such as biology, biochemistry, physics, complex systems,
control theory, artificial intelligence, and sociology.
To address these challenges novel modeling and
engineering techniques are needed that help to
understand how local behavior and global behavior relate
to each other. Such models and practices are a key
condition for understanding, controlling, and designing
the emergent behavior in autonomic and self-adaptive
systems.<br>
<br>
The mission of ACSOS is to provide an interdisciplinary
forum for researchers and industry practitioners to
address these challenges to make resources,
applications, and systems more autonomic, self-adaptive,
and self-organizing. ACSOS provides a venue to share and
present their experiences, discuss challenges, and
report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The
conference program will include technical research
papers, in-practice experience reports, vision papers,
posters, demos, and a doctoral symposium.<br>

<br>
</tt><tt>We invite novel contributions related to the
fundamental understanding of autonomic computing,
self-adaption and self-organization along with

</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> * <i>Autonomic and Self-* system properties</i>:
robustness; resilience; efficient resource management;
stability; anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and
reflection; emergent behavior; computational awareness

bio-inspired and socially-inspired paradigms and
heuristics; theoretical frameworks and models; languages
and formal methods; queuing and control theory;
requirement and goal expression techniques; uncertainty
as a first class entity;</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> * <i>Autonomic and Self-* systems engineering</i>:
