<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;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'"></span></p>
