The DANMS workshop series focuses on distributed and
autonomous principles for network management and applications of those
principles in network design. This year’s workshop emphasizes
Service Centric Network
Management considering the impact on the system, across the
whole information flow from service creation to deployment in the
network.
This workshop is looking for full papers describing original,
previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical
experiences with existing systems and industrial developments in the
field of autonomous network management. Papers with a deep focus on a
specific discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of
diverse disciplines are encouraged.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics of interest:
- Architecture and Systems Topics relating to Autonomic Networks
- Cross-layer system architecture design
- Middleware and O&M techniques for network
management
- Resource modeling approaches for network management
- Peer-to-peer techniques for autonomic network
management
- Scalability issues in network management
- Security aspects in network management
- Adaptive & context-based self-management in
networks
- Policy (refinement techniques, policy models)
- Knowledge based techniques to support autonomics
- Data management for real-time dynamic service
provisioning
- Real-time MIB engineering to provide cross-layer
provisioning
- Aspects of Service Management
- Use of semantics to enable service deployment and
composition
- Automated service composition and orchestration
- Automated service provisioning across multiple
service providers
- Case Studies in Existing & Emerging Networks
- Lessons, shortcomings and real world experiences
with existing network management systems, protocols and architectures
- Experiences with service deployment in challenged
networks (ad-hoc, pervasive, sensor etc.) and the implications on the
network management plane
