==============================================================================</p>
<p>The third IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for
Network and Service Management (AnNet 2018) will be held in
conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management
Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei, Taiwan on April 23, 2018.</p>
<p>Following the success of the first two editions of this workshop,
the main goal of AnNet is to present research and experience
results in the area of data analytics and machine learning for
network and service management. Approaches such as statistical
analysis, data mining, and machine learning are promising
mechanisms to harness the immense stream of operational data and
to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks. <br>
</p>
<p>AnNet 2018 will include original full-papers presentations, a
keynote, and short-paper sessions. The workshop attendees will be
stimulated to participate in interesting discussions. To this end,
short papers describing late-breaking advances and
work-in-progress reports from ongoing research and experimental
work are also welcome. <br>

submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Each
submission must be written in English, accompanied by a 75 to 200
words abstract that clearly outlines the scope and contributions
of the paper. There is a length limitation of 6 pages (including
title, abstract, all figures, tables, and references) for regular
papers, and 4 pages for short papers describing work in progress.
Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style. Self-plagiarized
papers will be rejected without further review.<br class="">
