The 4th International Workshop on Network Management and Monitoring (NetMM 2016)

(http://events.telecom-sudparis.eu/netmm/2016/ )

Crans-Montana, Switzerland, March 23-25, 2016

In conjunction with the 30th IEEE AINA 2016, the NetMM 2016 workshop offers an

opportunity for researchers and industrials to present their novel and

innovative methodologies, techniques, tools and real-life experiences

concerning next-generation network management and monitoring.

The last decade has seen a revolutionary evolution in the telecommunications

(3G/4G/5G, etc.), mobile networks (Manet, sensors, Wifi, etc.), Internet of

things, SDN, Virtualized networks (NFV), etc. While deploying, configuring,

operating and managing such networks become today complex, costly and time

consuming, it is expected to increase drastically in the near future. These

networks tend to converge, to interwork with their own contexts and new

interoperability standards. However, while there are many advantages of

providing such ‘hybrid’ networks, their management, configuration and

validation need to be addressed. Although some methodologies and tools are

already processed for this purpose in wired telecommunication networks, the

dynamicity, heterogeneity and complexity of these new networks make their

monitoring, management and the validation of their components much more

difficult. Low-level interfaces on a per-device basis are currently used for

the management of networks. Nevertheless, in these large-scale heterogeneous

mobile networks, such interfaces become complex to reach, configure and

control. Furthermore, many of the existing approaches lack controllability,

scalability and testability in operational networks. Similarly, existing end-

to-end monitoring applications usually depend on low-level network activity

information, such as MIB parameters, interface logs, traffic counters or

signatures. Therefore, a major challenge is the way of monitoring these

distributed outputs to provide a global knowledge of real-time network

operations and then efficiently managing these diversity of next-generation

networks.

This workshop will offer an opportunity for researchers and industrials to

present their novel and innovative methodologies, techniques, tools and real-

life experiences concerning next- generation network management and

monitoring. The workshop solicits papers on both completed work and work-in-

progress. Papers that bring out new and interesting approaches at an early

stage of their development are very welcome. The workshop will be held in

conjunction with AINA 2016 which draws many leading researchers in the field

of networking.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Automatic and adaptive control of networks

- Algorithms and protocols for distributed monitoring and threshold detection

- Adaptive management protocols

- Analysis of tradeoffs between performance, availability and security

- Non-intrusive network instrumentation for monitoring and control

- Resource management of multi-access networks

- Future Internet architectures for mobile network management

- Wireless cognitive networks management

- Mobile network management and virtualization

- Scalable management approaches

- Management of application overlays and peer-to-peer services

- Management of Virtualized and Software-defined networks (SDN)

- Network management standards

- Formal models for network management

- Runtime Monitoring and passive testing

- Testbed, experimental and industrial evaluations
