Call for Participation - ACSOS 2024

The fifth IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) provides a forum to share the latest research results, ideas, and experiences in autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organizing systems. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a merging of the two long-running IEEE ICAC and SASO conferences, bringing together the two leading communities in this research space.The Doctoral Symposium provides an opportunity for PhD students to present their research and ideas, and network with the ACSOS community, consisting of a diverse audience of both leading experts and early career researchers in the field. The Doctoral Symposium not only offers early career researchers a chance to gain experience in presenting to an international audience but also to receive invaluable feedback about their work from members of the ACSOS community.PhD students are invited to submit a two-page abstract, with another page for references. The abstract should describe the key motivation of their research, the major contribution (either actual or expected, depending on the research stage), the research methodology, and the current status of the work. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work both at the Doctoral Symposium and in brief at the main conference itself, offering a vast audience for their research. PhD students are also invited to produce a poster to summarise their current work, for presentation at the Doctoral Symposium. Students at any stage of their PhD are welcome to submit.Reviews, feedback, and expectations will be adapted appropriately to the relative stage of each submission.

Mentoring Program

As in prior years, the Doctoral Symposium will employ a mentoring program in which every author of an accepted paper will be paired with an experienced mentor from the community. Mentors will help introduce the students to the community, offer extended discussions of their research objectives and career opportunities, and host their students throughout the event to help them gain the best experience from an international conference.Additionally, the Doctoral Symposium will incorporate activities to give participants a chance to interact with different members of the community at different stages of their careers in academia and industry
