***** CALL FOR PAPERS *****

DANMS 2012
Fifth International Workshop on Distributed Autonomous Network Management 
Systems
co-located with 13th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium
The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Maui, Hawaii, USA
April 16, 2012

The Distributed Autonomous Network Management Systems 2012 (DANMS?12) workshop 
is part of a series of workshops dedicated to advances in network management 
and the application of new management principles in network design.

The growth of demand for user services is a key characteristic of modern and 
future ICT and telecommunications networks. New services have driven up network 
usage, but have also created huge network management problems for the 
operators, while end-users increasingly expect stream-lined and seamless 
network connectivity optimized for their services. Current approaches of 
monitoring and managing individual parts of telecommunications networks are 
still mostly agnostic to the diverse services using the network, or are 
optimized for voice services. Many management tools cannot even detect which 
services are operating on the network, much less support service-specific 
management objectives. Giving service providers access to the monitoring and 
management mechanisms of the network is not practical, given the multitude of 
heterogeneous networks involved, and the security, privacy, availability and 
regulatory oversight requirements inherent in managing a large network. 
Therefore it is the responsibility of the network managers to monitor and 
manage the services running over their networks based on the monitoring, 
analysis, planning and reconfiguration resources already available to them. 
Even though managing the network is already a challenge, additionally managing 
the services running over the networks is a key challenge that must be 
addressed in a timely manner. This year DANMS will particularly address how 
(semi-)automated analysis of network monitoring data, and planning of network 
management actions, can be applied to monitor, manage and support the services 
using the network.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

-Data-mining of network / service monitoring data
-Predictive analytics for network / service management
-Recommender systems for network / service management planning
-Efficient use of service monitoring data captured at the service endpoints
-Service and resource modeling approaches for service and network management
-Management and assurance of Home Area Networks and HAN services
-Use of semantics to enable service deployment, composition, and quality 
assurance
-Aspects of service management and assurance
-Techniques for efficient gathering, distributing and processing monitoring 
data
-Automated service provisioning and/or management across multiple service 
providers
-Techniques for ?lifting? low-level network monitoring data to richer service 
level information
-Insights from using Complex Event Processing and Stream Processing for 
monitoring data
-Fault and performance management, diagnosis, and troubleshooting
-End-to-end QoS and performance monitoring and management for enterprise 
networks
-Measurements and insights from network operations
-Metrics, techniques, and experiments for evaluating network management 
architectures
-Convergence of fixed and mobile networks
-SLA driven management
-Cloud computing for network and service monitoring and management
-Service Level Management in grids and clouds

Academic and industrial researchers are invited to submit full papers (6 pages) 
describing original work relating to the topics presented. All manuscripts must 
be written in English and should be prepared in IEEE style. All submitted 
papers will be reviewed by the DANMS Technical Program Committee.
