DANMS 2013 - DANMS 2013 : 6th IFIP/IEEE Distributed Autonomous Network Management Systems

With the emergence of cloud computing, increasing IT capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet for on-demand access at anywhere anytime. Networks provide the delivery platform for services and it is important for network operators to ensure the reliability of the delivery platform so that both service providers and consumers can trust and rely on the network. Many aspects of cloud services including, large number of services, rapid evolvement of service implementations, virtualized infrastructures, large number of users, lack of direct control over services, etc., make network operators face great challenges on network management for service delivery. DANMS’13 will focus on the technologies of fully or semi automated network management for assured service delivery.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
Enterprise class service monitoring and analysis for mobile networks
Efficient use of radio/network KPIs in service assurance
Monitoring and analysis approaches for service aware networks
Autonomic network management for service assurance
Case studies of cloud service assurance
Use cases of services for network or service management
Service management for heterogeneous networks
Network optimization and analysis focusing on various services
Use of semantics to enable service deployment, composition, and quality assurance
Service aware networks and service aware network management
Predictive analytics for network or cloud services
SLAs for cloud service assurance
Network management of virtualized infrastructures
Apply new techniques and technologies for cloud service assurance
Recommender systems for cloud service assurance
Resource modeling and planning for service and network management
Techniques for efficient gathering, distributing and processing monitoring data
Automated service provisioning and/or management across multiple service providers
Mapping of low-level network monitoring data to richer service level information
Insights from using streamed network/service monitoring data
Fault and performance management, diagnosis, and troubleshooting
End-to-end QoS and performance monitoring and management for enterprise networks
Metrics, techniques, and experiments for evaluating network management architectures
Opportunistic uses of similar services by customers
Academic and industrial researchers are invited to submit full papers (6 pages, double column) describing original work relating to the topics presented. All manuscripts must be written in English and should be prepared in IEEE conference style. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the members of DANMS Technical Program Committee. All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Papers will be withdrawn from IEEE Xplore in case the authors do not present their paper at the workshop.
