This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International IFIP TC6 Conference on Autonomic Networking, AN 2006. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on autonomic networks, self-configuration, autonomic platform and services, autonomic management and discovery policy-based management, ad hoc, sensor and ambient autonomic networks, and autonomic control of mobile networks.
