           Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security
                              (AIMS 2012)
                  http://www.aims-conference.org/2012/
                            June 04-08, 2012
                 University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg

* Description

   The AIMS conference is a single-track event integrating normal
   conference paper sessions, tutorials, keynotes, and a PhD student
   workshop into a highly interactive event. One of the goals of AIMS
   is to look beyond borders and to stimulate the exchange of ideas
   across different communities and among PhD students. Furthermore,
   AIMS integrates 2 days of courses and labs which offers hands-on
   learning experiences in network and service management topics and
   which requires attendees to work in practical on-site courses
   combined with preceding short tutorial-like teaching sessions.

   AIMS 2012 focuses on the topic of dependable networks and services,
   with particular attention to security and monitoring aspects.
   New paradigms as well as autonomic and fully distributed algorithms,
   virtualization and monitoring techniques or self-organizing overlays
   have to be investigated. The design, monitoring, configuration and
   protection of the next generation of networked systems in an
   efficient, secure, and autonomic manner are crucial to commercially
   viable and successful networks and services.
