********************************************************************** The 7th IFIP International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2013) June 25-28, 2013, UPC Barcelona, Spain http://www.aims-conference.org/2013/ ********************************************************************** The International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security (AIMS 2013) is a single-track event integrating regular conference paper sessions, hands-on tutorials, a keynote, and a Ph.D. student workshop into a highly interactive event. One of the key goals of AIMS is to look beyond borders and to stimulate the exchange of ideas across different communities and among Ph.D. students. AIMS 2013 is the seventh edition of a conference series on management and security aspects of distributed and autonomous systems. It follows the already established tradition of an unusually vivid and inter-active conference series. This year, AIMS 2013 focuses on emerging management mechanisms for the Future Internet. This theme is addressed in the technical program with papers related to emerging monitoring, security, and autonomous mechanisms complemented by research focusing on next generation networks and services, such as, amongst others, content delivery, information-centric networks, and Internet of Things. * Hands-on Tutorials AIMS 2013 features a four-day program. The event starts with 1.5 days of 3 tutorials, which offer labs-based learning experience in network and service management topics and which require the attendees to work in practical on-site labs, along with short tutorial-style teaching sessions. The first tutorial, by Vaibhav Bajpai and Nikolay Melnikov (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany), introduces the context of large-scale measurement platforms, how to write and schedule a measurement test, how to schedule the reporting of measurement results, and how to retrieve results for data analysis. The second tutorial, by Steven Latré and Jeroen Famaey (Ghent University, Belgium), gives an overview of the functionality, the architecture, and a guided tour on “The Virtual Wall”, a generic experimental environment for advanced network, distributed software, service evaluation, and scalability research. Finally, the third tutorial, by David Hausheer (Technische Universität Darmstad, Germany), revisits basic concepts of virtual distributed test-labs, like PlanetLab or EMANICSLab, and provides a practical training on how to use them for research activities. * Keynote, Conference, and Ph.D. Workshop The conference part of AIMS 2013 includes a keynote presentation delivered by Bertrand Mathieu, senior researcher at Orange Labs, France, on management and monitoring challenges in content-centric networking. The 4 technical sessions - covering traffic engineering and Quality-of-Service, security, autonomous management, and monitoring mechanisms - of AIMS 2013 include a total of 11 full papers. The conference program is complemented by two additional technical sessions from the AIMS Ph.D. workshop covering a total of 7 Ph.D. papers on the topics of monitoring and modeling as well as content distribution and multimedia. Further information on the program is available at http://http://www.aims-conference.org/2013/program.html. * Venue AIMS 2013 will take place in Barcelona, Spain and will be hosted by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). The event will be held at Campus Nord of UPC, located in the North-Western part of Barcelona, easily reachable from the city center and from the airport by public transport or by taxi.
