3. ICST Transactions on Computing Methodologies for Autonomous Systems
Scope:
Different computing paradigms have emerged over the past few decades ranging from service oriented computing, intelligent multi-agent systems to cloud computing and p2p systems. Each paradigm has its own way to cope with change, to adapt, to assess risk and to evolve. The transactions will publish innovative work on new approaches to the design of adaptive distributed systems, systems designed to change, emergent behavior. Topics include self-management, monitoring, QoS, SLAs, security.
EIC’s keywords:
autonomic computing, autonomic networks, adaptive systems, multi-agent systems, distributed computing, service oriented architectures, self-management, emergent behavior.

Bio:
Frances Brazier is a full professor of Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. She chairs the Intelligent Interactive Distributed Systems Group. IIDS' research focuses on distributed (autonomic) management of (systems of) large scale distributed autonomous systems and the role of human participants. In collaboration with the Computer and Law Institute at the VU, IIDS also addresses acceptance of autonomous systems for society: criteria for design and development. She has published significantly in related areas, including design. She is currently on the editorial board of “AI in Design and Manufacturing”, and Birkhauser's book series on Autonomic Systems. Beyond her academic career she has also been involved in numerous ventures including NLnet, the first ISPin the Netherlands, and the NLnet Foundation.
