Call for Papers
Reliable Autonomics systems are ingrained with self-management capability embedding some autonomic properties, with the goal of freeing humans from all detail of the operation and management of the system. Simultaneously, this provides a system with the basis to always operate optimally.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, devices capable of computation and data transmission are increasingly being deployed across a wide range of technological fields.
Due to the extensive use of these devices, manual setup and management can become impractical and inefficient. To overcome this challenge, intelligent mechanisms are needed to enable autonomy, allowing devices and networks to function efficiently with minimal human involvement. IoT networks are typically heterogeneous, distributed, and resource-constrained, requiring new approaches to apply autonomic principles compared to traditional methods
This workshop invites submission of papers in the research area of reliable Autonomics and/or IoT solutions.
Specific topics may include but are not limited to:
5G/Beyond 5G and mission critical services
Best Effort Goal realisation
Cryptography and steganography solution and services
Decision support systems services
Digital Twins
End-to-End IoT Management Framework
Failure, Uncertainty and security breaches detection and remedy
Goal Oriented Swarm Solutions
Heterogeneous and resource constrained networks

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors should submit a paper with a maximum 10 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. Papers must be prepared using the Lecture Notes Style of Springer Proceedings (template: https://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conftools/Springer/For-the-authors-LECTURE-NOTES-TEMPLATES.zip_ ) and must be formatted in PDF format.
Prepare your paper in PDF file and submit it electronically to AINA-2025 web page:
All papers will undergo peer review, and accepted papers will be included in conference proceedings of Lecture Notes series published by Springer. Proceedings will be sent by Springer for indexing in SCOPUS.
Authors of accepted papers, or at least one, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the conference.
Note the workshop has an associated special issue: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/C10QM61F43
