The panel objective was to discuss with the audience and highlight commonalities and inter-dependencies between the papers presented in the first two sessions of WAC 2004 – and . As this panel was the first one, main discussion tried to define autonomicity, address the more general questions around this new concept and distinguish it from previously introduced and studied concepts.

This brief report intends to summarize some of the things we learned during WAC2004 sessions “Network Composition” and “Negotiation and Deployment”, and that were highlighted during the subsequent panel discussion. We try to focus especially on the following aspects: traits and trends of convergence emerging from the rather diverse findings presented in those sessions; controversial or divergent opinions on some of those findings; open issues that should be addressed by the autonomic communication community and how to tackle them; and major research directions that seem likely to emerge and shape a significant part of the autonomic communication landscape.

This panel was held at the end of the Workshop on Autonomic Communication Principles, on the 19 October 2004. It brought together speakers from session 3 on Resilience and Immunity and session 4 on Meaning, Context and Situated Behaviour. The panellist were Anuarg Garg (University of Trento), Fabio Massacci (University of Trento), Christian Tschudin (University of Basel), Simon Dobson (University College Dublin), Maurice Mulvenna (University of Ulster) and Cesar Santivanez (BBN Technology).
