CALL FOR PAPERS - IFIP AIMS 2016

The 10th IFIP International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security

June 20 - 24, 2016, Munich, Germany http://www.aims-conference.org/2016/

Paper registration & submission deadline: *February 1, 2016 (extended)*

http://www.aims-conference.org/2016/

**********************************************************************

The AIMS international conference is a single-track event, including conference paper sessions, hands-ons and keynotes, which focuses on early research done by PhD students and young researchers in network and service management and security. The participants find here a dedicated place for getting a constructive feedback by senior scientists and they benefit from tutorials on transversal aspects of a research activity (e.g. publication strategies, paper reviewing, research presentation design). By taking part in a dedicated workshop, the PhD students are invited at an early stage to present and motivate their work as well as their research plans. Finally, by being involved in practical hands-on sessions, PhD students and young researchers will get an up-to-date knowledge combined with basic skills on emerging technologies. This way, AIMS acts as a complementary piece in the set of international conferences in the network and service management community.

AIMS 2016 is centered on the theme of management and security in the age of hyper-connectivity. New paradigms, smart and fully distributed algorithms, as well as large-scale virtualization have to be investigated to design scalable and resilient frameworks able to deal with more complex, more dynamic and hyper-connected environments, from cloud infrastructures to the Internet of Things. The design, monitoring, configuration and protection of the next generation of networked systems in an efficient, secure, and smart manner are crucial to commercially viable and successful networks and services.

Important Dates

- *February 1, 2016: Paper registration deadline (extended)* - *February 1, 2016: Paper submission deadline (extended)* - March 1, 2016: Notification of acceptance - March 14, 2016: Camera-ready papers due - June 20-24, 2016: AIMS 2016 conference

Conference Paper Submission:

Only original, full papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Each submission must be written in English and will be limited to 12 pages, references excluded, in the LNCS paper format. Papers exceeding 12 pages, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. Paper submission is handled by the JEMS system, accessible from the AIMS 2016 web page.

PhD Student Workshop Submission:

The PhD student workshop is open to both junior PhD (max 2 years) and prospective PhD students. Authors are invited to submit short papers (4 pages excluding references, written in English and in LNCS format) describing the current state of their research. The paper should include a clear description of the research problem and the chosen approach, argue why the problem is hard and the approach novel, and it should outline the results achieved to date. Specific, low-level technical details should be avoided. Papers will be evaluated based on the proposed idea, methodology and foreseen impact. Authors of the papers should only be the student and his/her advisor(s).

Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series and will include the conference papers as well as the PhD student workshop papers.
