Autonomic and Trusted Computing: 5th International Conference, ATC 2008, Oslo, Norway, June 23-25, 2008, Proceedings: 5060 (Programming and Software Engineering) - Tapa blanda

ThisvolumecontainstheproceedingsofATC2008,the5thInternationalConf- ence on Autonomic and Trusted Computing: Bringing Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality. The conference was held in Oslo, Norway,d- ing June 23-25, 2008. ATC 2008 is a successor of the First IFIP Workshop on Trusted and Au- nomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems (TAUES 2005, Japan), the Inter- tional Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems (TACS 2006, Austria), the Third International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted C- puting (ATC 2006, China), and the 4th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC 2007, Hong Kong). Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and n- worksaregrowingdramaticallyinbothscale andheterogeneity,becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the ubiquitous p- meation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope with the growingandubiquitous complexity,Autonomic Computing(AC)focuses onse- manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-con?guration, self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operationsto the maximumextent possible without humaninterventionorgu- ance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue c- cepts like self-organization and controlled emergence. Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losingcontrolandto retaincon?dencethatthe systemwillnotfail.Trustand/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures are key factorsinenablingdynamicinteractionandcooperationofvarioususers,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.

This book constitutes the refereed procedings of the 5th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing, ATC 2008, held in Oslo, Norway, in June 2008, co-located with UIC 2008, the 5th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing.

The 25 revised full papers presented together with 26 special session papers and 1 keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The regular papers are organized in topical sections on intrusion detection, trust, trusted systems and crypto, autonomic computing, organic computing, knowledge and patterns, and pervasive systems. The special session papers cover issues such as organic computing, trust, trust and dependable systems, routing and reliable systems, sensor networks, VoIP, and watermarking.
