4th International Conference on
Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security
(AIMS 2010)
4th International Summer School in Network and
Service Management (ISSNSM 2010)
http://www.aims-conference.org/2010/
June 21-25, 2010
University of Zurich, Switzerland

* March 7, 2010 - Conference paper registration deadline (firm deadline!)
* March 14, 2010 - Conference paper submission deadline (extended
deadline)
* March 7, 2010 - Ph.D. student workshop paper registration deadline
(firm deadline!)
* March 14, 2010 - Ph.D. student workshop paper submission deadline
(extended deadline)

The AIMS conference is a single-track event integrating normal
conference paper sessions, tutorials, keynotes, and a PhD student
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. Furthermore,
AIMS 2010 collocates the International Summer School in Network and
Service Management (ISSNSM 2010). This unique summer school will offer
hands-on learning experiences in network and service management
topics, which will requires attendees to work in practical on-site
courses combined with preceding short tutorial-like teaching sessions.
AIMS 2010 focuses on the service provisioning aspects of modern
networks and their services. The set of mechanisms, negotiation
schemes, scalability aspects, and autonomous approaches are of key
interest. In particular the design, monitoring, management, and
protection of networked systems in an efficient, secure, and autonomic
manner are key to commercially viable and successful networks and
services.

related topic areas:

- Autonomic network and service management
- Service provisioning mechanisms
- Socio-economic effects of service provisioning
- Adaptability and self-organization
- Economic traffic management
- Incentives in P2P and Grid networks
- Decentralized and distributed management techniques
- Management of grid resources and virtual networks
- Overlay- and P2P-based management systems
- Intrusion detection in large networks
- Protection against distributed attacks and botnets

systems behavior
- Accounting of systems, services, and behaviors
- Distributed network analysis and accounting
- Modelling of management technologies and procedures
- Virtualization of resources and services

* Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series (offically approved) and will
include the conference papers as well as the PhD student workshop
papers. Tutorial materials will be distributed to participants at the
conference.

* 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 2010 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 2010 Web page.

Submissions to the conference are expected to report substantial
research results relevant for the subjects listed above.

* PhD Student Workshop Submission

The PhD workshop is open to both PhD and prospective PhD students
(i.e. graduate students in their last year who intend to pursue a
Ph.D.). The workshop provides the opportunity to present, discuss, and
obtain feedback from the AIMS 2010 audience about the planned Ph.D.
research work. Authors 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 2010
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

The University of Zurich (UZH), located in the Northern and
German-speaking part of Switzerland. It was founded in 1834 from
the people of the Canton of Zurich and offers first class education
and research in areas ranging from Economics, Law, Natural Scienes,
to Arts, Vet, and Medicine. The Department of Informatics is part
of the Economics and integrates in a nice manner computer science
and economic views of IT systems in todays society.
