CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
<br>
IEEE/IFIP IM 2017<br>
<br>
*** Special Track on Autonomic Management ***<br>
<br>
IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management<br>
Lisbon, Portugal, 8-12 May 2017<br>

(Paper Submission Date: 24 January 2017)<br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Programmable and software networks require more than ever management<br>
systems with smart, adaptive and effective decisions, recommendations<br>
and actuations. Management systems should incorporate autonomic<br>
management principles to be able to sense their environment, perceive the<br>
changes and react quickly to changing conditions in order to optimize<br>
operation and performance, diagnose faults, and protect from threats.<br>
Papers for this special session should address the diverse challenges in<br>
the development and deployment of autonomic management solutions<br>
including, but not limited to:<br>
<br>
- Self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection<br>
in programmable and software-defined networks<br>
- Self-optimization for dynamic controllers and virtual network functions<br>
placement<br>
- Policy-based management, including imperative, declarative (intent), <br>
and other paradigms<br>
- Learning and reasoning techniques for programmable networks<br>
- Data analytics and machine learning for autonomic management<br>
- Autonomic based service lifecycle management and orchestration<br>
- Autonomic resource allocation and configuration in virtualized <br>
infrastructures<br>
- Adaptive scheduling in cloud computing environments<br>
<br>
This special track is supported by the IEEE ComSoc Technical Subcommittee<br>
on Autonomic Communications (TCAC). More information about TCAC can be<br>
found at <a href="http://ac.committees.comsoc.org/"><font color="blue"><u>http://ac.committees.comsoc.org/</u></font></a><br>
