This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International IFIP Workshop on Autonomic Communication, WAC 2005, held in Athens, Greece in October 2005. The 22 revised full papers presented together with one keynote paper, three invited papers and two panel summaries were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from numerous submissions. The papers discuss the principles of Autonomic Communication (AC).
