                          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                   The 10th International Conference on
     Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2016)

              June 20 - June 23, 2016, Munich, Germany

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

The International Conference  on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management
and Security  (AIMS 2016) is a single-track  event integrating regular
conference paper sessions, courses  and labs, keynotes, an educational
panel, and  a Ph.D. student workshop into a highly  interactive event.
Especially, AIMS 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 constructive
feedback  by  senior  scientists and  they  benefit from tutorials and
educational sessions. 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  2016 is  the  tenth edition of a conference series on management
and security aspects of distributed and autonomous systems. It follows
the   already  established  tradition  of  an   unusually vivid  and
interactive conference series. AIMS 2016  will  be   centered on  the
theme of  management and security in the age of hyperconnectivity. New
paradigms,  smart  and  fully  distributed   algorithms,  as well  as
large-scale  virtualization have to be investigated to design scalable
and resilient frameworks able to deal with more complex, more dynamic
and  hyperconnected  environments, from  cloud  infrastructures to the
Internet   of   Things.  The  design,  monitoring, configuration  and
protection of the next generation of networked systems in an efficient,
secure, and  smart  manner  are  crucial  to  commercially viable and
successful networks and services.

* Courses and Labs

AIMS  2016  features three hands-on  lab  sessions  spread across its
four-day  program.  They  provide participants with the opportunity to
gain  first  hand experience with several state-of-the-art network and
service  management  technologies  and  tools. Each lab session starts
with a brief theoretical tutorial-style  introduction  and is followed
by a hands-on part, allowing participants to experiment with the tools
through  a  set  of practical exercises. The first tutorial focused on
big data analysis for DNS. The goal of this hands-on is to familiarize
the  participants  with  DNS  measurements  using  data analytics. The
second  and  third  tutorials  focus  on  flow  generation and traffic
analysis/mining   with  the  Tranalyzer2  environment   designed   for
practitioners and researchers.

* Keynotes, Conference, and Ph.D. Workshop

AIMS 2016 will feature two exciting keynotes, regarding cyber security
and resilience. Dr. Bernd Esser, from the Telekom Cyber Defence Center
(CDC), will detail  the threat landscape and  its  evolution as  seen
from a Tier-1 operators perspective. He  also will  discuss strategic
and operational options to detect  and remediate  Advanced Persistent
Threats (APTs).  Dr. Tobias  Kiesling  from  IABG  will introduce the
notion of cyber operational resilience and will show how this can  be
applied  to  the  air  transport  infrastructure as  an example  of a
complex  interdependent  system,  where  the current infrastructure is
already vulnerable and  the advent of more automation and pervasion of
standard  IT  in  the  wake  of  future  approaches leads to ever more
complex and interconnected systems with an  increasing attack surface.
Moreover, the conference technical sessions will  present  the latest
results in management and security. The program is complemented by two
additional technical sessions from the AIMS  Ph.D.  workshop, as  well
as  an  educational  panel  dedicated to experiences with MOOC/Flipped
Classroom.
