(Submissions due: 15 December 2015)

===========================================================================


The IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and Service
Management (AnNet 2016) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP
Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS) in Istanbul, Turkey,
April 25-29, 2016. 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. The main goal of AnNet is to present research and
work-in-progress results in the area of data analytics and machine learning
for network and service management. 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 are also welcome.

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 at
https://jems.sbc.org.br/annet2016.

Papers accepted for AnNet 2016 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.
