TNSM 2016 - Special Issue on Big Data Analytics for Management

IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management
Special Issue on Big Data Analytics for Management

(Submissions due: 15 November 2015)
===
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (IEEE TNSM) is a premier journal for timely publication of archival research on the management of networks, systems, services and applications. This special issue will focus on “Big Data Analytics for Management,” presenting recent, emerging approaches and technical solutions that can exploit Big Data and analytics in management solutions. Cloud and network analytics can harness the immense stream of operational data from clouds and networks, and can perform analytics processing to improve reliability, configuration, performance, and security management. In particular, we see a growing trend towards using statistical analysis and machine learning as an engineering method to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks. We welcome submissions addressing the underlying challenges of using Big Data analytics for management and presenting novel theoretical or experimentation results. Survey papers that offer a perspective on related work and identify key challenges for future research will be considered as well.
