***************************************************
**************  Call for Tutorials  ***************
***************************************************

The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and 
Self-Organizing Systems
(ACSOS) is the premier forum for sharing the latest research results, 
ideas and experiences in
autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. The mission 
of ACSOS is to
provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry 
practitioners to address these
challenges to make resources, applications, and systems more autonomic, 
self-adaptive, and
self-organizing. ACSOS provides a venue to share and present their 
experiences, discuss
challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The 
conference program will
include technical research papers, in-practice experience reports, 
vision papers, posters,
demos, and a doctoral symposium.
ACSOS is now seeking proposals for tutorials of broad interest about 
tools that are often used
by the scientific community in the topics of the ACSOS conference. The 
most popular tutorials
tend to focus on emerging technology and its application to 
self-adaptive systems areas -
example technologies might include FPGAs and their toolchains; robotics 
control systems such
as ROS; popular machine learning toolkits; or multi-agent systems 
experimentation tools. Within
these technologies, a tutorial should have a clear focus on an ACSOS 
topic such as:

- Autonomic and Self-* system properties, theory, engineering, and practice
- Data-driven management
- Mechanisms and principles for self-organisation and self-adaptation
- Socio-technical self-* systems
- Autonomic and self-* concepts applied to hardware systems
- Convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and Internet of Things
- Self-adaptive cybersecurity
- Cross disciplinary research


***************************************************
**************  Tutorial Proposals  ***************
***************************************************

Proposals for tutorials should be organized as a preliminary call for 
participation with a
maximum of two pages and contain the following information:

- Title of the tutorial.
- A brief technical description of the tutorial, specifying the tutorial 
goals, the technical issues that it will address, and the relevance of 
the tutorial to the main conference. The names, affiliations, phone 
numbers, and email addresses of the proposed tutorial organizer(s).
- The primary email address for contacting the organizers.
- Expected duration of the tutorial (max. 2:30).
- Expected number of attendees.

Tutorial proposals should be sent as a pdf via email to 
​<mailto:workshops at acsos.org​>. ​ Please note that tutorials might be 
held virtually.


***************************************************
** Responsibilities of ACSOS Tutorial Organizers **
***************************************************

- Produce a web page and a Call for Papers/Participation for their 
tutorial. The call must make it clear that at least one author of each 
accepted submission must register and present the paper.
- Provide a brief description of the tutorial for the conference web 
page and program.
- Advertise the tutorial (and the main ACSOS event) and issuing a call 
for papers and a call for participation.
- Write an organizers’ abstract of the tutorial.
- Ensure that the tutorial organizers and the participants register for 
the tutorial and/or the main conference (at least one author must 
register for the paper to appear in the proceedings).
- Commit to meet the following tentative deadlines (these are the latest 
possible deadlines):
     * Camera-ready tutorial paper due: August 20 (synchronized with CRV 
deadline for the main conference)
     * Tutorial notes for participants, submitted to tutorials chairs: 
August (synchronized with CRV deadline for the main conference)

Important Notes:

- ACSOS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above 
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register for 
the tutorial to support its running costs.

If you have questions about your tutorial proposal, do not hesitate to 
contact the tutorial chairs: <mailto:workshops at acsos.org>
