<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic
computing techniques, foundations, and applications. Large-scale systems of all
types, such as data centers, compute clouds, smart cities, cyber-physical
systems, sensor networks, and embedded or pervasive environments, are becoming
increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage. Achieving
self-management requires and motivates research that spans a wide variety of
scientific and engineering disciplines, including distributed systems,
artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling, control theory,
optimization, planning, decision theory, user interface design, data
management, software engineering, emergent behavior analysis, and bio-inspired
computing. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"></span></p>
