(Submissions due: 15 December 2016)
===========================================================================

The Second IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Analytics for Network and Service Management (AnNet 2017) will be held in conjunction 
with the IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2017) in Lisbon, Portugal, May 8-12, 2017. 
Following the success of the first edition of this workshop, the main goal of AnNet is to present research and experience results in the area of data 
analytics and machine learning for network and service management. Approaches such as statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning 
are promising mechanisms to harness the immense stream of operational data and to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks. 
AnNet 2017 will include original full-papers presentations, a keynote, and short-paper sessions. The workshop attendees will be stimulated to 
participate in interesting discussions. To this end, short papers describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing 
research and experimental work are also welcome.

Paper Submission

Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Each submission must be written in English, accompanied by a 75 to 200 words abstract that clearly outlines the scope and contributions of the paper. There is a length limitation of 6 pages (including title, abstract, all figures, tables, and references) for regular papers, and 4 pages for short papers describing work in progress. Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style. Self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review.

Authors should submit their papers via JEMS:  https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=2686 <https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=2686>

Papers accepted for AnNet 2017 will be included in the conference proceedings, IEEE Xplore, IFIP database and EI Index. IFIP and IEEE reserve the right to remove any paper from the IFIP database and IEEE Xplore if the paper is not presented at the workshop. 
Awards will be presented to the best paper at the workshop.
