NGS: Autnomic Computing Workshop (The Fifth Annual International Workshop on Active Middleware Services - AMS 2003)

这是一项组织自主计算研讨会(ACW 2003)的建议，该研讨会将与2003年6月25日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的第12届IEEE高性能分布式计算国际研讨会(HPDC-12)和第8届全球网格论坛一起举行。有关研讨会的更多信息，请访问http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/ams2003/.。互联网技术、服务和设备的激增，使得目前的网络化系统设计和管理工具无法设计可靠、安全的联网系统和服务。事实上，我们已经达到了复杂、异质和动态的程度，我们的信息基础设施正在变得无法管理和不安全。此外，目前控制和管理信息基础设施的设计技术和软件工具无法处理其复杂性、异构性、不确定性和安全要求。另一方面，生物系统已经开发出成功的战略和技术来处理这些问题。自主计算研讨会的主要目标是建立一个世界级的论坛，研究生物技术和信息系统(称为自主计算)融合的研究问题和使能技术。自主计算研究将使下一代联网系统和服务的设计能够自我管理和控制，并能够预测其工作负载并自动调整其资源配置以满足新负载。NSF赞助了与IEEE高性能分布式计算研讨会(HPDC-9-HPDC-11)一起举行的第二届至第四届主动中间件服务。这三个讲习班非常成功，每个讲习班都提交了受邀的和投稿的研究论文。第二届AMS研讨会的论文集由克鲁沃学术出版社于2000年出版，书名为《主动中间件服务》，由Salim Hariri、Craig A.Lee和Cauligi S.Raghavenra编辑。第三届和第四届AMS年度研讨会论文集由IEEE计算机学会出版。AMS讲习班的成功推动了本讲习班的组织，这是本系列中的第五个讲习班。第五次AMS研讨会将集中讨论自主计算系统开发所面临的研究问题和挑战，这些自主计算系统具有自我定义、自我配置、自我修复、自我优化、自我预期、根据环境感知和开放的能力。

This is a proposal to organize the Autonomic Computing Workshop (ACW 2003) which will be held in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC-12), June 25th, 2003 at Seattle, Washington and with the 8th Global Grid Forum. More information about the workshop can be found at http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/ams2003/. The proliferation of Internet technologies, services and devices, have made the current networked system designs, and management tools incapable of designing reliable, secure networked systems and services. In fact, we have reached a level of complexity, heterogeneity, and dynamism that our information infrastructure is becoming unmanageable and insecure. Furthermore, current design techniques and software tools that control and manage the information infrastructure are incapable of handling its complexity, heterogeneity, uncertainty, and security requirements. On the other hand, biological systems have developed successful strategies and techniques to handle these issues. The main goal of the Autonomic Computing Workshop is establish a world-class forum to investigate the research issues and enabling technologies toward the convergence of biological technological and information systems (called Autonomic Computing). Autonomic computing research will enable the design of the next generation of networked systems and services that are capable of managing and controlling themselves, and can anticipate their workloads and automatically adjust the configurations of their resources to meet the new loads. NSF sponsored the second through the fourth Active Middleware Services that were held in conjunction with the IEEE High Performance Distributed Computing Symposiums (HPDC-9 - HPDC-11). These three workshops were very successful, with invited and contributed research papers presented at each workshop. The proceedings of the Second AMS Workshop was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 2000 as a book entitled "ACTIVE MIDDLEWARE SERVICES" and edited by Salim Hariri, Craig A. Lee, and Cauligi S. Raghavendra. The Third and Fourth Annual AMS workshop proceedings were published by IEEE Computer Society. The success of the AMS workshops has motivated the organization of the present workshop which is the fifth workshop in this series . The fifth AMS workshop will focus on the research issues and challenges facing the development of autonomic computing systems that have the capabilities of being self-defining, self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-anticipating, being contextually aware of their environments, are and open.
