Approaches such as statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning <br class="">are promising mechanisms to harness the immense stream of operational data and to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks. <br class="">AnNet 2017 will include original full-papers presentations, a keynote, and short-paper sessions. The workshop attendees will be stimulated to <br class="">participate in interesting discussions. To this end, short papers describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing <br class="">research and experimental work are also welcome. <br class=""><br class="">-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">Topics of Interest<br class=""><br class="">Authors are invited to submit papers that fall into or are related to one or multiple topic areas listed below:<br class=""><br class="">Data Analytics<br class="">• Analysis, modeling and visualization<br class="">• Operational analytics and intelligence<br class="">• Event and log analytics<br class="">• Big data analytics<br class="">• Network traffic analysis<br class="">• Anomaly detection and prediction<br class="">• Monitoring and measurements for management<br class="">• Predictive and real-time analytics<br class="">• Harnessing social data for management<br class=""><br class="">Machine Learning Techniques<br class="">• Supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised learning<br class="">• Clustering and data mining<br class="">• Reinforcement learning<br class="">• Multi-agent based learning<br class="">• Deep learning<br class="">• Bayesian methods<br class="">• Ensemble methods<br class="">• Cognitive computing<br class="">• Mining spatiotemporal and time series data<br class=""><br class="">Network Management Paradigms<br class="">• Autonomous and autonomic networks<br class="">• Bio-inspired networks<br class="">• Self* Management<br class="">• Cognitive and software defined networks<br class="">• Network function virtualization<br class="">• Security, fault, performance and resource management<br class=""><br class="">Application Domains<br class="">• Computer Networks<br class="">• Mobile ad-hoc networks<br class="">• Wireless sensor networks<br class="">• Clouds and data centers<br class="">• Virtualized infrastructures<br class="">• Internet of Things<br class="">• Computing and network services<br class="">• IT service management<br class="">• Storage resource management<br class=""><br class="">-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">Paper Submission<br class=""><br class="">Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.
