**********************************************************************<br>
<br>
The International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure,
Management<br>
and Security (AIMS 2016) is a single-track event integrating
regular<br>
conference paper sessions, courses and labs, keynotes, an
educational <br>
panel, and a Ph.D. student workshop into a highly interactive
event. <br>
Especially, AIMS focuses on early research done by PhD
students and <br>
young researchers in network and service management, and
security. The<br>
participants find here a dedicated place for getting
constructive <br>
feedback by senior scientists and they benefit from
tutorials and <br>
educational sessions. By taking part in a dedicated workshop,
the PhD<br>
students are invited at an early stage to present and motivate
their <br>
work as well as their research plans. Finally, by being
involved in<br>
practical hands-on sessions, PhD students and young
researchers will<br>
get an up-to-date knowledge combined with basic skills on
emerging<br>
technologies. This way, AIMS acts as a complementary piece in
the set<br>
of international conferences in the network and service
management <br>
community.<br>
<br>
AIMS 2016 is the tenth edition of a conference series on
management <br>
and security aspects of distributed and autonomous systems. It
follows<br>
the already established tradition of an unusually
vivid and <br>
interactive conference series. AIMS 2016 will be centered
on the<br>
theme of management and security in the age of
hyperconnectivity. New<br>
paradigms, smart and fully distributed algorithms, as
well as<br>
large-scale virtualization have to be investigated to design
scalable <br>
and resilient frameworks able to deal with more complex, more
dynamic<br>
and hyperconnected environments, from cloud infrastructures
to the<br>
Internet of Things. The design, monitoring,
configuration and <br>
protection of the next generation of networked systems in an
efficient, <br>
secure, and smart manner are crucial to commercially
viable and<br>
successful networks and services. </font><font face="Courier

<br>
* Courses and Labs<br>
</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
AIMS 2016 features three hands-on lab sessions spread
across its<br>
four-day program. They provide participants with the
opportunity to <br>
gain first hand experience with several state-of-the-art
network and <br>
service management technologies and tools. Each lab session
starts<br>
with a brief theoretical tutorial-style introduction and is
followed<br>
by a hands-on part, allowing participants to experiment with the
tools<br>
through a set of practical exercises. The first tutorial
focused on <br>
big data analysis for DNS. The goal of this hands-on is to
familiarize<br>
the participants with DNS measurements using data
analytics. The<br>
second and third tutorials focus on flow generation and
traffic <br>
analysis/mining with the Tranalyzer2 environment designed
for <br>
practitioners and researchers. <br>
<br>
* Keynotes, Conference, and Ph.D. Workshop</font><font
face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
<br>
AIMS 2016 will feature two exciting keynotes, regarding cyber
security<br>
and resilience</font><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace">. Dr. Bernd Esser, from the Telekom Cyber Defence
Center<br>
(CDC), will detail the threat landscape and its evolution
as seen<br>
from a Tier-1 operators perspective. He also will discuss
strategic<br>
and operational options to detect and remediate Advanced
Persistent<br>
Threats (APTs). Dr. Tobias Kiesling from IABG will
introduce the <br>
notion of cyber operational resilience and will show how this
can be<br>
applied to the air transport infrastructure as an
example of a <br>
complex interdependent system, where the current
infrastructure is<br>
already vulnerable and the advent of more automation and
pervasion of<br>
standard IT in the wake of future approaches leads to
ever more<br>
complex and interconnected systems with an increasing attack
surface.<br>
Moreover, the conference technical sessions will present the
latest<br>
results in management and security. The program is complemented
by two<br>
additional technical sessions from the AIMS Ph.D. workshop,
as well<br>
as an educational panel dedicated to experiences with
MOOC/Flipped<br>
Classroom.</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
