=== Overview ===

Due to the increasing complexity, scale and heterogeneity in computing systems and applications, including hardware, software, sensors, communications and networks, there are needs for Autonomic Computing (AC) focusing on self-manageable systems that exhibit self-configuration, self-healing, self-protection, self-optimization, and/or self-monitoring.  It is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded and IoT devices.

The purpose of this workshop is intended to bring together specialists and researchers in those converging specialties to share views and address technical issues and developments for autonomic and high performance computing.

=== Topics ===
* Autonomic computing systems that exhibit Self-configuration, self-healing, self-protection, self-optimization, self-awareness, and/or self-monitoring
* Software engineering principles and architectures in Autonomic Computing
* Algorithms: machine learning, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, biological-inspired techniques, and socially-inspired techniques
* Control-based approaches and Control Theory applied to Autonomic High Performance Computing systems
* Autonomic components: hardware accelerators, multi-core servers, storage, and networking
* Data analysis and decision techniques
* Monitoring systems
* Theory and practice of autonomic systems
* Self-Organization and Organic Computing
* Management of resources including hardware, workloads, faults, security, power, and other challenges
* Hypervisor, operating systems, middleware, hardware, or application support for autonomic computing
* Knowledge-based and/or intelligent user interfaces
* Self-adaptability and self-management of context-aware systems
* Cognitive computing and self-awareness in HPC and distributed systems
* Modeling, virtualization, operating systems or application in autonomic computing
* Biologically inspired computing (evolutionary algorithms, cellular automata, DNA computation, amorphous computing, etc)
* Autonomic solutions in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT)
* Autonomic solutions in security and integrity
* Applications of autonomic computing and experiences in science, engineering, business and society
