Dear colleagues,
We have received many individual requests for extensions and we are also interested in ensuring a high quality technical program. Therefore we have decided to extend the paper submission deadline to 26 January 2018. Meanwhile, if possible, please register your paper as soon as you can. This will help us to prepare reviewer assignment earlier and to ensure the review quality.
Keep up the good work in finalizing your submissions. We look forward to your paper submissions!
Best regards and thanks, AnNet 2018 Workshop Organizers
==============================================================================
3rd IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and Service Management (AnNet 2018)
In conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei, Taiwan on April 23, 2018.
Submissions due: January 26, 2018
==============================================================================
The third IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and Service Management (AnNet 2018) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) in Taipei, Taiwan on April 23, 2018.
Following the success of the first two editions of this workshop, the main goal of AnNet is to present research and experience results in the area of data analytics and machine learning for network and service management. Approaches such as statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning are promising mechanisms to harness the immense stream of operational data and to improve operations and management of IT systems and networks.
AnNet 2018 will include original full-papers presentations, a keynote, and short-paper sessions. The workshop attendees will be stimulated to participate in interesting discussions. To this end, short papers describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research and experimental work are also welcome.

Application Domains Computer networks Mobile ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks Clouds and data centers Virtualized infrastructures Internet of Things Computing and network services IT service management Storage resource management
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper Submission
Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Each submission must be written in English, accompanied by a 75 to 200 words abstract that clearly outlines the scope and contributions of the paper. There is a length limitation of 6 pages (including title, abstract, all figures, tables, and references) for regular papers, and 4 pages for short papers describing work in progress. Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style. Self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review.
Authors should submit their papers via JEMS: https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=2882
Papers accepted for AnNet 2018 will be included in the conference proceedings, IEEE Xplore, IFIP database and EI Index. IFIP and IEEE reserve the right to remove any paper from the IFIP database and IEEE Xplore if the paper is not presented at the workshop. Awards will be presented to the best paper at the workshop.
