About ACIG


Rooted from multimedia communications, the focus of this IG is to stimulate world-wide researchers, who are interested in Autonomic Communications, to make greater efforts on in-depth and multi-disciplinary studies on how self-management/governing can be achieved in next-generation multimedia networks. By providing platforms for idea exchange and information/resource sharing, and seeking synergies of our members, we envisage reaching the goal of self-tuning autonomic multimedia networks with high level of autonomy and efficiency, and with minimum human management complexity and user intervention.

ACIG's main activity is organizing sessions and workshops at IEEE ComSoc conferences (specifically ICC, Globecom and CCNC). The following areas represent some of the key concerns of multimedia communications with autonomic flavors.:

  • New network architectures with emphasis on enabling autonomic features (often described as self-*) for multimedia communications.
  • Cross-layer designed and optimized, situation-aware protocol stack that enables better QoS and resource management from a holistic and systematic perspective, for IP-based rich content delivery.
  • Bio-inspired and organic principals of managing ever-growing complexity and pursuing efficiency in multimedia communications.
  • Cross-disciplinary studies of ecological modeling, control theory, agent technologies etc. and used them to form the foundation of AutoComm algorithms.
