TutorialsACSOS 2026

With more and more researchers and practitioners looking into studying and developing systems with self-* capabilities, the requirement for a deep understanding of fundamentals, theory, tools, processes, approaches, applications rises. The IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is the prime conference for autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organizing systems. Thus, it is the leading forum to introduce, showcase, and disseminate the related practical tools, applications, processes, and approaches to a wide audience, and to improve the understanding of the foundational theoretical frameworks.

ACSOS 2026 hereby solicits contributions for tutorials on tools, applications, processes, and techniques in autonomic computing, self-adaptation, self-organization, and related topics on autonomous and self-* behavior, both practical and theoretical. Tutorials are expected to adhere to the same topics as the main track. They can either be long “hands-on” tutorials (3 to 4 hours), or short “overview”/“quickstart” tutorials (1 to 2 hours).

All the tutorials will be presented in the “satellite” events program (i.e. along with workshops) of ACSOS 2026. Tutorial proposals (see below) can be accompanied by an extended abstract to be included in the ACSOS Companion (ACSOS-C) proceedings.

Proposals for ACSOS tutorials should be submitted through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos2026 (select tutorial track).

Submissions to the tutorial track in ACSOS 2026 entail submissions of both Tutorial Proposal and Tutorial Paper as follows.

Tutorial proposals are subject to peer review and will be accepted based on relevance to the conference, expected impact on the audience, clarity, structure, scientific content, and expertise of the proponents (in the tutorials’ topics).

Proponents of accepted tutorials are encouraged to submit an extended abstract, according to the formatting guidelines and deadlines indicated below. Extended abstracts are also subject to peer review.

Proposals for tutorials should be organised as an advertisement for participation, with a maximum of two pages and contain the following information:

Proponents of accepted tutorials are encouraged to submit an extended abstract for inclusion in the proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems Companion (ACSOS-C).
