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

              11th International Conference on Autonomous
          Infrastructure, Management, and Security (AIMS 2017)

      July 10-13, 2017, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

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

The  AIMS  International  Conference  on   Autonomous Infrastructure,
Management, and  Security is a  single-track  event targeted at junior
researchers and Ph.D. students  in  network and service management and
security.  It  features a range of sessions including conference paper
presentations,  hands-on lab  courses,  and keynotes. The objective of
AIMS is  to  offer  junior researchers and  Ph.D. students a dedicated
place,  where  they  can discuss their  research work  and experience,
receive  constructive  feedback  from  senior  scientists, and benefit
from  a  number  of  practical hands-on sessions  and labs on emerging
technologies  and  Ph.D./research life-related  topics. By putting the
focus  on  junior   researchers and  Ph.D.  students,  AIMS acts as a
complementary  piece  in the  set of international conferences  in the
network  and   service  management   community,  providing  an optimal
environment for in-depth discussions and networking.

AIMS 2017 will focus on the theme of security of networks and services
in  an  all-connected  world. With  the rapid  development of advanced
communication and networking services, providing security, reliability
and resilience while guaranteeing the best performance in a wide range
of  more  complex,  more dynamic and hyper-connected environments, has
become crucial. To  address these challenges, new paradigms, smart and
fully  distributed  approaches,  as  well  as  scalable  and flexible
management solutions  have to be investigated. 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.

Scope and Topics:

Courses and Labs
AIMS 2017 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 lab will focus on an
introduction to  security  games. The  second  lab will present how to
program  smart  contracts  in blockchains. Finally, the third lab will
explore P4,  the emerging high-level data plane programing language and
its applicability to packet processors.

Keynote, Conference, and Ph.D. Workshop
AIMS 2017 will  feature two  exciting keynotes,  presenting real-world
challenges  for Telco  Providers and  concepts for cyber resilience of
complex   interdependent  infrastructures:  Prof. Dr. Marcel Waldvogel
(University of Konstanz, Germany), who will discuss "Getting Rid of IoT
Insecurity", and Dr. Matthias Bossardt(Lead Partner for Cyber Security
at KPMG, Switzerland) who  will  share his  view with the audience on
"Cyber Security Challenges - A Business Perspective".
Moreover, the three technical sessions will present the latest results
in  Security  Management,  Evaluation  and  Experimental Study of Rich
Network  Services,  as  well  as  Management of Cloud Environments and
Services.  AIMS 2017 will also feature three short paper presentations
covering Ph.D. research proposal  discussions on the themes of Methods
for the  Protection  of Infrastructure and Services, and Autonomic and
Self- Management Solutions, as well as an overview of research results
on the topic of Security, Intrusion Detection and Configuration.

Venue
The AIMS 2017 will be held at University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
from July 10 - 13, 2017. Further information on the venue as well as on
