CALL FOR PAPERS
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: 05th Dec, 2010 Notification of acceptance: 08th Jan, 2011 Camera-ready paper: 15th Jan, 2011
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 year’s workshop emphasizes on “Efficient Management of Loosely Collaborative Service Networks” 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 “loosely collaborative” 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
