Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems

19-23 September 2022 – Online

****************************************



The goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and 
Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the 
latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing, 
self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a 
merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing 
(ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and 
Self-Organizing Systems (SASO). For more up-to-date news, follow us at 
https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf! Traditionally, ACSOS only called for 
research papers. This year, for the first time, we also call for 
artifacts: software or data, which can be reused by the ACSOS community 
to evaluate novel approaches or to analyze interesting phenomena. Thus, 
in particular we solicit the submission of two types of artifacts: 
multi-agent simulators or comparable software and data sets. Our goal is 
to establish a collection of reusable evaluation setups and case studies.

*** Criteria ***

Artifact submissions need to fulfill the following criteria:

- The code or data needs to be publicly available for download under an 
open source license (e.g., on GitHub under GPL).

- There has to be a readme file with detailed instructions on how to 
install, run and configure the artifact.

- If an installation is required, scripts have to be provided, which 
automate the build and install process.

- The code should run on all three major platforms (Mac, Win, Linux) 
either natively or using Docker or a VM.*** Short Paper Requirement ***
Alongside the code or data, a short paper summarizing the artifact has 
to be submitted.

This paper has to fulfill the following criteria:

- Page limit: 2-4 pages.

- The paper has to adhere to the template used for conference papers as 
it will be published in the proceedings of the conference.

- Besides a summary of the artifact itself, the paper has to point out 
how it can be reused by the community in the future.


*** Evaluation *** Submitted artifacts will be thoroughly evaluated by 
multiple reviewers according to the following artifact evaluation 
process (AEP):

- Initial Review: Each artifact will be tested by at least three 
artifact PC members and is evaluated according to the following 
criteria: operationality (does it work), ease of setup, configurability, 
quality of documentation, potential for reusability, and quality of code.

- Artifact revision: Authors will be notified whether their artifact is 
accepted as is or if minor revisions have to be done prior to publication.

- Artifact publication: Accepted artifacts will be listed on a special 
ACSOS artifact website, which shall serve as primary source for case 
studies and evaluation setups in the future, and the accompanying short 
papers will be published within the proceedings of the conference.
The key benefit of investing the considerable work required to get an 
artifact published at ACSOS is the constant reuse of it by the 
community, which leads to continuously growing citations of the 
accompanying paper.
