AIMS conference is a single-track event targeted at junior researchers
and Ph.D. students in network and service management and security.
AIMS 2018 will focus on the theme of network and security management
amid the data explosion.

The onset of big data era and ubiquitous computing have had a
fundamental impact on network management and security, introducing whole
new categories of problems and demanding novel interdisciplinary
solutions. Managing the data explosion requires to remove the human
factor out of the loop and aim for human-assisted or fully autonomous
operations. This concerns all stages of data processing – monitoring,
collecting, filtering, refining, and analysis – as well as the
decisions and actions which follow.

Recent advances in the areas of machine learning, data-driven 
networking, stream processing, and big data analytics provide necessary 
building blocks for next-generation solutions for management of the 
entire lifetime of data. However, their utilization could raise privacy
concerns that has to be addressed properly before wide-scale adoption of
these methods.

Authors are invited to submit original contributions with the following
topics or other topics related to the conference scope:

*	Autonomic or intent-based networking
*	Data-driven network management
*	Orchestration of network services
*	High-speed or ubiquitous monitoring
*	Data filtering and refinement
*	Situational awareness
*	Visualization and virtual reality
*	Machine learning for network management and security
*	Proactive and predictive security solutions
*	Network models, formal verification
*	Privacy preservation

Notification:           May 4, 2018
Camera ready:           May 25, 2018

Full papers: reporting substantial research results.

Ph.D. Research Proposals: describing the current state of a student’s
research and early research results. The paper needs to include a clear
description of the research problem and the chosen approach, argue why
the problem is hard and the approach novel.
