The goal of the "Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC)" Initiative'' is to promote research in the area of new paradigms for communication/networking systems that can be characterised as situated (i.e. reacting locally on environment and context changes), autonomously controlled, self-organising, radically distributed, technology independent and scale-free. A number of related research projects have been started since 2006. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and scientists working on such topics, fostering cross-collaboration links among the SAC project and other related initiatives in the area. The Workshop will be one day soliciting contributions focusing on emerging research directions, specific topics and interdisciplinary themes in the field of Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC). The workshop targets papers presenting significant scientific contributions on SAC-related topics, as well as papers reporting experimental results and field trials on SAC systems deployment. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas.
