CALL FOR PAPERS


DANMS 2013
Sixth IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Autonomous
Network Management
Systems
Co-located with IM 2013, Ghent University, Belgium
www.danms.org


The 6th IFIP/IEEE Distributed Autonomous Network Management Systems 2013
(DANMS 2013) workshop is part of a series of workshops dedicated to
advances in network management and the applications of new management
principles in network design. This year the DANMS 2013 will be held on 31
May 2013 at Ghent University, Belgium.



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 2013 will focus on “*Managing
Networks for 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.



Paper submission deadline:       15 December 2012

Notification of acceptance:          1 February 2013

Camera-ready paper:                 10 February 2013

Workshop date:                         31 May 2013
