Submission Guidelines
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 and system 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 2018 which draws many leading researchers in the field of networking.
The maximum number of pages of one paper at each workshop paper is six with CPS conference paper format.
Submission can be done at the EasyChair NetSMM 2018 submission website
In order for the accepted paper to be published, at least one of authors has to register for the conference paper according to the AINA-2018 registration rules.

Call for Papers
The last decade has seen a revolutionary evolution in the telecommunications (3G/4G/5G, etc.), mobile networks (Manet, sensors, Wifi, etc.), Internet of things (IoT), Cloud, SDN, Virtualized networks, etc. While deploying, configuring, operating and managing such communicating systems become today complex, costly and time consuming, it is expected to increase drastically in the near future. These systems tend to converge, to interwork with their own contexts and new interoperability standards. However, while there are many advantages of providing such ‘hybrid’ networks or systems, their management, configuration and validation need to be addressed. Although some methodologies and tools are already processed for this purpose, the dynamicity, heterogeneity and complexity of these systems make their monitoring and management 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 networks, such interfaces become complex to reach, configure and control. Furthermore, many of the existing approaches lack the controllability, scalability, measurements and testability in operational networks. For that purpose, Software defined Networks (SDN), virtualized architectures (NFV), etc. are proposed. While some approaches provide interesting results, their management and supervision still need some improvements regarding the distributed systems and the data mass. Similarly, existing end-to-end monitoring applications usually depend on low-level network activity information. Therefore, a major challenge is the way of monitoring these distributed outputs to provide a global knowledge of real-time system operations and then efficiently managing these diversity.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Future Internet architectures for system management
- Automatic and adaptive control of networks
- Algorithms and protocols for distributed monitoring and threshold detection
- Adaptive management protocols
- Non-intrusive network instrumentation for monitoring and control
- Management of application overlays and peer-to-peer services
- Management of Virtualized and Software-defined networks (SDN)
- NFV management and orchestration
- Wireless cognitive networks management
- Scalable management approaches
- Analysis of tradeoffs between performance, availability and security
- Resource management of multi-access networks
- Network management standards
- System measurements
- Formal methods
- Runtime Monitoring and passive testing
- Testbed, experimental and industrial evaluations
Opportunity for Journal Publication: Distinguished papers accepted and presented at NetSMM 2018, after further revisions, will be submitted for publication in Special Issues of international journals.
