==============================================================================

*3rd IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and 
Service Management (AnNet 2018)**
***
In conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management 
Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei, Taiwan on April 23, 2018.

Submissions due: January 5, 2018

==============================================================================

The third IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and 
Service Management (AnNet 2018) will be held in conjunction with the 
IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei, 
Taiwan on April 23, 2018.

Following the success of the first two editions 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 2018 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Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or 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=2882

Papers accepted for AnNet 2018 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.
