A system that addresses these challenges by integrating monitoring, decision-processing and actuation is an Autonomic Computing System. Research in autonomic computing spans a variety of areas, from computer systems, architecture, databases and networks to machine learning and control theory. The purpose of ICAC is to bring together researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to address the multiple facets of self-management in computing systems and applications. Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing, including: * End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of resources, workloads, faults, power/thermal, and other challenges. * Self-managing components, such as server, storage, network, data center or specific application elements. * Decision and analysis techniques, such as machine learning, control theory, predictive methods, emergent behavior, selforganizing networks and rule-based systems. * Monitoring systems for autonomic computing. * Virtual machine, operating systems, hardware techniques or application frameworks in autonomic computing. * Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems. * Management topics, such as specification and modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement and tie-in with IT governance. * Toolkits, frameworks, principles and architectures, from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques and virtualization. * Fundamental science and theory of selfmanaging systems: understanding, controlling or exploiting system behaviors to enforce autonomic properties * Experience with existing systems * Applications of autonomics to real problems in science, engineering, business and society. Papers will be judged on originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity and relevance to the broader community. Papers should report on experiences, measurements, user studies, or other evaluations, as appropriate. Evaluations of a prototype or large-scale deployment of autonomic systems and applications is expected. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing. Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found on the conference web site. Accepted papers and posters will appear in proceedings distributed at the conference and available electronically. Authors of accepted papers and posters are expected to present their work at the conference. WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND EXHIBITION ICAC-10 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on topics of interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that complement the main program. ICAC-10 will also feature a demonstration and exhibition session consisting of prototypes and technology artifacts such as demonstrating autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Entries will be judged by a separate committee led by the demo/exhibit chair. INDUSTRY SESSION One of ICAC's important roles is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. In its industry session, ICAC helps fulfill this role by presenting an industry viewpoint on technologies, products, and market needs. The industry session also addresses current challenges, and opportunities for academic and corporate research collaborations. We encourage industry leaders, including entrepreneurs, product developers, architects, managers, marketers and end users, to submit their papers and posters reflecting such industry perspectives as part of the regular submission process. STUDENT AWARDS A student best paper award will be presented, consisting of a commemorative plaque, complimentary student registration to the conference and an honorarium that will partially cover travel and hotel costs.

The biggest changes to the CCNP ROUTE exam - essentially a replacement for the old BSCI exam - revolve around the change in topic mix and the whole new approach to the topics," said Wendell Odom, multiple best-selling Cisco Press author. "Gone are IS-IS and IP multicast. Added are branch office networking, IPv6 coexistence, a little more depth all across the board, plus some small topics like Policy-Based Routing (PBR) and IP Service Level Agreement (IP SLA). At the same time, the exam focuses on the skills needed to plan an implementation and plan the verification. This change in approach opens up the potential for a more difficult exam." On TSHOOT exam "Years ago, Cisco had a course/exam as part of the CCNP track that focused on troubleshooting (the Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT) course). While troubleshooting has not recently been an integral component of the CCNP track, with the release of the new CCNP certification, the topic of troubleshooting is back and better than ever in the form of the TSHOOT course/exam," said Kevin Wallace, author of several Cisco Press products. "Exam candidates can expect an exam that focuses on their ability to resolve complex network issues, rather than recall memorized facts. Toward that end, Cisco Press is releasing a collection of products to help students prepare, including the TSHOOT Exam Certification Guide and the Network Troubleshooting Video Mentor (which provides over seven hours of troubleshooting demonstrations)."

Thanks so much. SIP Trunking By Christina Hattingh , Darryl Sladden , ATM Zakaria Swapan . Publishing by Cisco Press - March 1, 2010 Series: Networking Technology: IP Communications . http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587059444 The first complete guide to planning, evaluating, and implementing high-value SIP trunking solutions Most large enterprises have switched to IP telephony, and service provider backbone networks have largely converted to VoIP transport. But there's a key missing link: most businesses still connect to their service providers via old-fashioned, inflexible TDM trunks. Now, three Cisco(r) experts show how to use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking to eliminate legacy interconnects and gain the full benefits of end-to-end VoIP. Written for enterprise decision-makers, network architects, consultants, and service providers, this book demystifies SIP trunking technology and trends and brings unprecedented clarity to the transition from TDM to SIP interconnects. The authors separate the true benefits of SIP trunking from the myths and help you systematically evaluate and compare service provider offerings. You will find detailed cost analyses, including guidance on identifying realistic, achievable savings.

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and the surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems constantly re-optimizing in view of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). It introduces a problem, which implies a research direction --- a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering are regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.pdf PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to vincenzo.deflorio at ua.ac.be .

Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally addresses adaptivity, robustness, and controlled emergence as well as nature-inspired concepts for self-organization. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various users, systems, and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable, persistable, security/privacy protectable, etc. A series of grand challenges exists to achieve practical autonomic or organic systems with truly trustworthy services.
