This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International
Working Conference on Active and Programmable Networks (IWAN 2005)
that was held during November 21-23, 2005, in Sophia Antipolis,
Cote d' Azur, France, jointly organized by Hitachi Europe and
INRIA. IWAN 2005 took place against a backdrop of questions about
the viability and - cessity of a conference that deals with an area
perceived by many as having run its full course. The Organizing
Committee, during the preparations of the conference, took these
concerns seriously and reflected them in the theme of this year's
event, entitled "Re-incarnating Active Networking Research," and
expanding the scope of past calls for papers into topics that have
emerged from active and programmable networks. The result was a
success because we received 72 submissions, a number that - ceeded
our expectations and in fact is one of the highest in the history
of the conf- ence. The distinguished Technical Program Committee
set high standards for the final program; each one of the submitted
papers received three peer reviews with detailed comments and
suggestions for the authors. In total, 13 papers were accepted for
the main program sessions with 9 papers accepted unconditionally
and the remaining 4 papers being conditionally accepted with
shepherding by selected Program Committee members.
Research and development of autonomics have come a long way, and we
are delighted to present the proceedings of the 3rd IEEE
International Workshop on Modelling Autonomic Communications
Environments (MACE 2008).Asin the last two years,this
workshopwasheld aspart of Manweek,the International Week on
Management of Networks and Services, which took place on the lovely
Island of Samos in Greece.

is not as shiny or practiced as other well-known conferences and
workshops, but we consider this a feature of the workshopitself.
New ideas,a little rougharoundthe edges(and sometimes more than a
little), often quite un?nished, pop out and provoke extensive
discussion. Scienceneeds this kindofexploratoryadventureandwe

that there is a need for new ideas outside the classical academic
circles. This year, the submissions were more peripheral to the
invited themes of the workshop than in the last two years. We saw
prototypes emerging and expe- ments maturing that attempt to now
employ the principles introduced in pre-
ousyears.WecancallthispartofMACEthe"protoautonomics,"acknowledging
that we still have some way to go, but that we are at the exciting
beginning of the journey. The book you are holding in your hands
presents the accepted papers of the technical sessions of MACE
2008. We had 22 submissions, of which 8 were - cepted as full
papers. Furthermore,we allowedfour submissions as short papers.
