===========================================================================
Cloud and network analytics can harness the immense stream of
operational data from clouds and networks, and can perform analytics
processing to improve reliability, configuration, performance, and
security management. In particular, we see a growing trend towards
using statistical analysis and machine learning to improve operations
and management of IT systems and networks.
Research is therefore needed to understand and improve the potential
and suitability of Big Data analytics in the context of systems and
network management. This will not only provide deeper understanding
and better decision making based on largely collected and available
operational data, but present opportunities for improving data
analysis algorithms and methods on aspects such as accuracy and
scalability. Moreover, there is an opportunity to define novel
platforms that can harness the vast operational data and advanced data
analysis algorithms to drive management decisions in networks, data
centers, and clouds.
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (IEEE TNSM) is a
premier journal for timely publication of archival research on the
management of networks, systems, services and applications. Following

*Call for Workshop Proposals*
2017 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
http://muii.missouri.edu/bibm2017/
Nov 13-16, 2017, Kansas City, MO, USA
=================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2017 IEEE International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2017) invite proposals for
Workshops. Selected workshops will hold a central position within the
larger Conference, which will bring together top academic and industrial
researchers from all over the world to exchange cutting edge research ideas
in bioinformatics and biomedicine. Within these fields, workshops at BIBM
form crucial focal points for emerging communities and forums for the
examination of new ideas.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop,
forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and
guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and breadth of the
Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the
Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, made
available at the Conference.
The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected
papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal
issues. Workshops should cover at least a single session (6 regular
papers). The workshop organizers should ensure registration and presence of
authors of accepted papers.
*Workshop Topics*
Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives
in Bioinformatics, Biomedicine and Healthcare Informatics. The workshops
should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research results and practical development
experiences in these three fields. Workshop topics may be narrow, e.g.,
“reverse-engineering” of gene regulatory networks from experimental data,
computational approaches to drug discovery, mathematical modeling of
signaling pathways, analysis of the next-generation sequencing data,
oscillations and synchronization of biological rhythms, wireless sensor
networks, patient health records, medical signal processing; or broad,
e.g., computational proteomics, *in-silico* diagnosis and prognosis, data
mining and machine learning algorithms for biomedical applications,
application of network research to biology, emerging technology in
healthcare, aging research etc. Prospective workshop organizers are
encouraged to contact workshop chairs for feedback.
*Important Dates*
*May *1, 2017: Workshop proposal submission due:
a proposed workshop announcement is sent by e-mail to any of
the Workshop Chairs
May 10, 2017: Notification to workshop proposers
June 25, 2017: Each workshop organizer sends out Call for Workshops Papers

July 24-26, 2017
Leuven, Belgium
http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-17/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC) have evolved into an
active area of research and development. This is due to the tremendous
advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics, including wireless
networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, RFID
technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone. MobiSPC-2017 solicits papers
that focus on the theory, systems, practices and challenges of providing
users with a successful mobile or wireless experience. This includes how
mobile computing changes how people pervasively use their computers,
computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and
technologies enabling those applications.
