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

Computing systems including hardware, software, communication, and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,

becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration,
self-optimization, self-healing, self-protection and other self-x
operations to the maximum extent possible without human intervention or
guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally addresses adaptivity,
robustness, and controlled emergence as well as nature-inspired concepts

for self-organization.

Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of

losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust
and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, 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.

A series of grand challenges exists to achieve practical autonomic or
organic systems with truly trustworthy services. Started in 2005, the
series of ATC conferences has been held at Nagasaki, Vienna, Three
Gorges
(China), Hong Kong, Oslo and Brisbane. ATC 2010 will include a highly
selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, panel
discussions and keynote speeches. Established as a premier venue in the
area of autonomic and trusted computing, ATC 2010 will offer a forum for

researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in the most innovative
research and development in these challenging areas and includes all
technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing (AC/OC) and
trusted computing (TC). Topics include but are not limited to the
following:

- AC/OC Theory and Models:Models, negotiation, cooperation,
competition,self-organization, emergence, verification etc.

- AC/OC Architectures and Systems:Autonomic elements & their
relationship,
frameworks,middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc.

- AC/OC Components and Modules:Multi-core CPU, memory, storage,
database,
device,server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc.

- AC/OC Communication and Services:Networks, self-organized net, web
service, P2P, grid,EaaS, could, semantics, agent, transaction, etc.

- AC/OC Tools and Interfaces:Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system
development,test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc.

- Trust Models and Specifications:Models and semantics of trust,
distrust,
mistrust,over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc.

- Trust-related Security and Privacy:Trust-related secure architecture,
framework, policy,intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc.

- Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems: Fault-tolerant systems,
hardware redundancy,robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery,
etc.

- Trustworthy Services and Applications:Trustworthy
Internet/web/P2P/grid/cloud services,secured mobile services, novel
applications, etc.

- Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues: Trust standards and issues
related to personality,ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy,
etc.
