Call for Papers
2nd International Conference on
Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security
AIMS 2008
"Resilient Networks and Services"
http://www.aims2008.org
1-3 July 2008
Jacobs University Bremen, Germany
The AIMS conference is a single-track event integrating normal
conference paper sessions, tutorials, keynotes, and a PhD workshop
into a highly interactive event. One of the goals of AIMS is to look
beyond borders and to stimulate the exchange of ideas across
different communities and among PhD students.
AIMS 2008 focusses on resilient networks and services and in
particular on novel technologies that can provide resilience in a
scalable, economic, secure, and autonomic way. To achieve
resilience, new techniques such as autonomic and fully distributed
algorithms, virtualization techniques, or self-organizing overlays
must be explored. Modelling, analysis, and visualization is
essential in order to understand the emerging overall system
behaviour.
* Conference Topics
Authors are invited to submit unpublished papers that are not under
review in any other conference or journal in the following, or
related topic areas:
Scalable and autonomic infrastructures
- Autonomic network and service management
- Dynamic overlays and P2P-based management systems
- Fully decentralized and distributed approaches
Economic management
- Economic aspects of IT infrastructures
- Distributed accounting and monitoring
- Reputation and incentive mechanisms
Security and trust management
- Inter-domain trust management and security concepts
- Resilience and reliability of network and service infrastructures
- Defense against distributed attacks and botnets
- Management and evaluation of security services
Virtualization
- Virtualization of resources and services
- Management of virtual network laboratories (e.g. GENI, PlanetLab)
- Economics of network and service virtualization
- Management of Grid resources and virtual organizations
Modelling and visualization
- Modelling of management technologies and procedures
- Modelling and analysis of policies and promises
- Visualization of management data and systems behavior
* Conference Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original contributions (written in
English) in PDF format. Only original, full papers that have not
been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be
submitted to the AIMS 2008 paper track. Each submission will be
limited to 12 pages in the LNCS paper format. Papers exceeding 12
pages, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be
rejected without further review. Paper submission is handled by the
JEMS system, accessible from the AIMS 2008 Web page.
Submissions to the conference are expected to report substantial
research results relevant for the subjects listed above.
* PhD Workshop Submission
The PhD workshop provides PhD students the opportunity to present,
discuss, and obtain feedback from the AIMS 2008 audience about their
research work. PhD students are invited to submit short papers (4
pages, written in English and in PDF format) describing the current
state of their research. The paper should include a clear
description of the research problem and the chosen approach, argue
why the problem is hard and the approach novel, and it should
outline the results achieved to date. Specific, low-level technical
details should be avoided. Papers should have no more than two
authors--the student and the advisor. Accepted submissions will be
published in the AIMS proceedings.
* Best Paper Award
The program committee will select one paper for the Best Paper Award
(all regular papers are eligible). The winner will be presented at
the conference.
* Location
Jacobs University Bremen is a highly selective, private institution
for the advancement of education and research. The green campus
located in the city of Bremen has ideal meeting facilities and can
host a large number of people during the summer on campus.
