IMPORTANT DATES
---------------

Manuscript submission:    June 25th, 2024 (AoE)
Notification to authors:  July 18th, 2024               
Camera-ready:             July 26th, 2024 
Workshop:                 September 16th or 20th, 2024



SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------
Modern computing systems are large and heterogeneous. Their 
complexity is hardly manageable by a human being, especially when it 
comes to taking timely decisions in highly dynamic environments or to 
guarantee strict Quality-of-Service requirements. Not surprisingly, 
recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine 
Learning (ML) significantly impacted and fostered the development of 
autonomous computing systems, providing new or enhanced methodologies 
to cope with system complexity and uncertainty. AI and ML techniques 
are increasingly adopted to assist or guide system self-adaptation, 
as they are used, e.g., to extract relevant information from highly 
dimensional and noisy monitoring data, to predict internal or 
external dynamics, to automatically plan adaptation actions.

However, there are still several challenges to face for researchers 
and practitioners aiming to take advantage of these methodologies and 
incorporate them in their systems. Fundamental issues towards the 
applicability of AI and ML techniques across diverse domains must be 
investigated, especially as regards the accuracy, robustness, 
explainability, safety, security, performance and sustainability of 
AI-driven autonomous computing systems.

In this workshop, we solicit high quality contributions that fit with 
the overarching theme of AI and ML meeting autonomous computing 
systems. We invite submissions of original research papers, as well 
as vision papers and experience reports.

Authors of selected papers from the workshop will be invited to 
submit an extended version of their work to the special issue of ACM 
Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS) on "Artificial 
Intelligence for Adaptive and Autonomous Cloud/Edge Computing 
Systems".

We invite submissions of original research papers, as well as vision 
papers and experience reports.

The aim of the workshop is to share new findings, exchange ideas and 
discuss research challenges on the following topics (not an 
exhaustive list):

 - AI and ML techniques for self-* computing systems
 - Architectures and frameworks for AI integration
 - Sustainability aspects of AI-driven adaptation
 - Federated and multi-agent learning approaches for decentralized adaptation
 - Robustness, explainability, safety, and security of AI-driven computing systems
 - Integration of large language models (LLMs) into autonomous computing systems
 - Self-adaptation for AI/ML systems
 - Case studies and real-world implementations of AI for autonomous computing systems

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
Papers can be submitted in PDF format via EasyChair and must be no 
longer than *6 pages* (including figures, tables, and references).
Accepted papers will be published in the ACSOS Companion volume and 
will appear in IEEE Xplore.
 
Note: when submitting via EasyChair, make sure that the track 
indicated as Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous 
computing Systems is selected.
