CALL FOR PAPERS IFIP/IEEE DANMS 2011 Forth International Workshop on Distributed Autonomous Network Management Systems Co-located with IM 2011, Dublin, Ireland www.danms.org Important Dates Paper submission deadline: 2 Jan 2011 (extended) Notification of acceptance: 30 Jan 2011 Camera-ready paper: 15 Feb 2011 Paper Submission URL https://jems.sbc.org.br/danms2011 The DANMS 2011 workshop is part of a series of workshops dedicated to advances in network management and the application of new management principles in network design. This yearâs workshop emphasizes on âEfficient Management of Loosely Collaborative Service Networksâ where network connectivity providers, content and service providers come together to provide high-level services such as Over-The-Top (OTT) services to end-users in a loosely collaborative way. In the recent past, end-user services such as high quality video calls, web-based video content servers, HD video streaming and VoD services etc. have driven the telecom market. The appearance of these new content/service providers, which include so called Over-The-Top (OTT) service providers, has driven network usage, but also created huge network management problems for the operators. In this context, content/service providers together with network operators provide value to the subscribers in a âloosely collaborativeâ fashion. Service assurance in this loose collaborative environment is challenging, particularly in the presence of a network with limited or no guarantees. This nascent eco-system is driving fundamental changes in how networks are deployed and managed as well as how they interact with content and service providers. In this context, together with wider network management contributions, we expect to have technical contributions in the areas of automated service assurance and in loosely collaborative service networks. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Federated network management * Impact of Over the Top (OTT) services in resource management * Case studies of service assurance * Efficient use of terminal reports in service assurance * SLA for OTT service assurance * Service and resource modelling approaches for management * Business rules and organizational modelling * Use of semantics in service deployment and quality assurance * Extensions and refinements of NM standards * Aspects of service management and assurance * Automated service provisioning across multiple service providers * Fault and performance management, diagnosis, and troubleshooting * End-to-end QoS management for enterprise networks * Measurements and insights from network operations * Metrics, techniques, and experiments for evaluating network * Convergence of fixed and mobile networks Steering Committee Nazim Agoulmine, University of Evry Val d'Essonne France Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo Canada Gabriel Hogan, Network Management Lab, Ericsson, Ireland Workshop Co-Chairs Sidath Handurukande, Network Management Lab, Ericsson Ireland Jose Neuman de Souza, Federal University of Ceara, Brazil Publicity Chair Yangcheng Huang, Ericsson Ireland Technical Program Committee Arosha Bandara, Open University, UK Javier Baliosian, Uni. of the Republic, Uruguay Saleem Bhatti, Uni. of St Andrews, UK Sami Bhiri, DERI, Ireland Anne-Marie Bosneag, Ericsson, Ireland Anca Chandra, IBM Research, USA Dave Cleary, Ericsson, Ireland Zoran Despotovic, NTT DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Germany Dominique Dudkowski, NEC, Germany Liam Fallon, Ericsson, Ireland James Hong, POSTECH, Korea Jesse Kielthy, TSSG, Ireland Francine Krief, Bordeaux 1 University, France Petr Kuznetsov, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Germany Brian Lee, AIT, Ireland Declan O'Sullivan, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK Luis Rodrigues, INESC-ID/IST, Portugal Florian Schreiner, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Rolf Stadler, KTH, Sweden Martin van Steen, Vrje University, Netherlands Filip De Turck, Ghent University-IBBT, Belgium Stefan Wallin, Luleà University of Technology, Sweden Martin Zach, Siemens AG Austria Paper Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit papers of maximum six pages or extended papers of up to eight pages (including figures, tables, and references), in the standard two-column, 11 pt font, IEEE conference paper format.
