               The 7th International Conference on 
    Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2013)

             June 25-28, 2013, UPC Barcelona, Spain

              http://www.aims-conference.org/2013/
                          
                         EXTENDED DEADLINE: 
              Paper registration: February 13, 2013
               Paper submission: February 24, 2013

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

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
researchers    of     different    communities    and     among    PhD
students. Furthermore,  AIMS 2013 integrates  1.5 days of  courses and
labs which offer hands-on  learning experiences in network and service
management  topics and which  require attendees  to work  in practical
on-site courses  combined with preceding  short tutorial-like teaching
sessions.

AIMS  2013  focuses  on  the  theme  of  managing  and  monitoring  of
next-generation networks, network security and services. New paradigms
as well as autonomic  and fully distributed algorithms, virtualization
and  monitoring  techniques or  self-organizing  overlays  have to  be
investigated to design scalable  and resilient frameworks able to deal
with  dynamic environments providing  big data  to process  while also
protecting   privacy.  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.

Authors  are  invited  to  submit  papers  on  the  following  topics,
including related fields:

Network Management and Operational Experience
- Internet of things
- Sensor networks
- Smart grids
- SCADA networks
- P2P and overlay networks
- Information Centric Networks
- Big data
- Future Internet
- Virtualized environments

Management Functions
- Detection of attacks
- Protection of infrastructures and services
- Security monitoring
- Configuration management
- Accounting of systems, services and behaviors
- Service provisioning
- Resilience of management infrastructures and services
- Privacy of collected data
- Quality of service and experience

Techniques and Methodologies
- Autonomous management
- Distributed monitoring and correlation
- Knowledge plane design and deployment
- Adaptability and self-organization
- P2P-based management
- Modeling of management technologies and procedures
- Machine learning
- Decision algorithms
- Flow-based management
- Scalability of management infrastructures

Conference Paper Submission:

Only original, full  papers that have not been  published or submitted
for publication  elsewhere can be  submitted. Each submission  will be
limited  to 12 pages  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 2013 Web page.

PhD Student Workshop Submission:

The  PhD student  workshop is  open to  both PhD  and  prospective PhD
students. Authors are invited to submit short papers (4 pages, written
in English  and in PDF 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
should  have  no  more  than   two  authors  –  the  student  and  the
advisor.  Accepted submissions  will  be published  in  the AIMS  2013
proceedings.

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.
