              The 9th IFIP International Conference on
     Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2015)

                June 22 - 26, 2015, Ghent, Belgium
               http://www.aims-conference.org/2015/

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

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 2015 focuses on the secure, reliable and automated management of
networks and their services in  an all-connected Future Internet. New
paradigms  as well as autonomic and  distributed algorithms, virtuali-
zation and monitoring techniques  or  self-organizing   overlays have
to  be investigated to design scalable  and resilient frameworks able
to deal with dynamic and often  domain-specific environments, and also
to cope with big  data to  process and content  to be delivered. 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 and service management
- Wireless networks (adhoc, mesh, sensor, vehicular, ...)
- Internet of things
- Smart cities
- Smart grids
- Cyber-physical networks
- Overlay, grid and virtual networks
- Big data Analytics
- Software defined networks
- Data centers and clouds  (IaaS, Paas and SaaS)
- Content delivery (P2P, CDN, ICN, ...)
- Social networks
- Future Internet

Management functions
- Intrusion detection
- Protection of infrastructures and services
- Security management
- Configuration management
- Accounting of systems, services and behaviors
- Economic traffic management
- Service provisioning
- Resilience of management infrastructures and services
- Privacy and management data
- Quality of service and experience

Techniques and Methodologies
- Autonomic and self-management
- Cognitive management
- Distributed monitoring and correlation
- Risk management
- Knowledge plane design and deployment
- P2P-based management
- Modeling of management technologies and procedures
- Flow based management
- Scalability of management infrastructures
- Experimental studies

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 2015 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).
Accepted  submissions  will be published in the AIMS 2015 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.
