ADMNET 2018 - 6th IEEE International Workshop on Architecture, Design, Deployment and Management of Networks and Applications

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and advance state of the art research and development in the area of architecture, design, deployment and management of networks and Internet-based applications. This workshop is also a forum for designers, developers, and administrators of networks and applications. Technology, knowledge, and technique are important key elements to solve the issues and meet the requirements for making new technologies. It is intended to bring together researchers from different communities with similar needs and to provide a base for scientific exchange of research ideas.
The wide spread of the Internet has given further opportunities for providing new network services and Web-based applications. However, such services and applications are often accomplished by high complexities and the need for advanced heuristic techniques has become prevalent. On the other hand, networks of company, campus and community have become an important infrastructure for business, education, research and social activity. These networks have to be robust, reliable, fast, convenient and safe.
Developers and administrators of applications and networks are struggling to design and operate systems with their heuristic techniques in order to keep and improve the quality and performance. Computer ethics and its education may be an important factor, not only to protect security and privacy, but also to improve the efficiency of systems and reduce operating costs. These efforts and issues should be shared and solved among researchers from different communities with similar needs.
Scope of the Workshop
Any submissions relevant to the areas of networks and applications will be considered, but any submissions related to one of the following topics will be particularly welcome:
