Mechanisms for Autonomous Management of Networks and Services

The International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Se- rity (AIMS 2010) was a single-track event integrating regular conference paper s- sions, tutorials, keynotes, and a PhD student workshop into a highly interactive event. The main goal of AIMS is to look beyond borders and to stimulate the exchange of ideas across different communities and among PhD students. AIMS 2010 collocated the International Summer School in Network and Service Management (ISSNSM 2010). This unique summer school offers hands-on learning experiences in network and service management topics, which requires attendees to work in practical on-site courses combined with preceding short tutorial-like teaching sessions. AIMS 2010which took place during June 2325, 2010, in Zürich, Switzerland and was hosted by the Communication Systems Group CSG, Department of Inform- ics IFI, of the University of Zürich UZHfollowed the already established tradition of an unusually vivid and interactive conference series in terms of the fourth conf- ence, after successful instantiations in Oslo, Norway 2007, Bremen, Germany 2008, and Enschede, The Netherlands 2009. AIMS 2010 focused especially on autonomous management aspects of modern networks and their services. The set of mechanisms, peer-to-peer-based schemes, scalability aspects, and autonomous approaches are of major interest. In particular the design, monitoring, management, and protection of networked systems in an efficient, secure, and autonomic manner are key to comm- cially viable and successful networks and services.

Klappentext

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Autonomous Infrastructure, Management and Security, AIMS 2010, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in June 2010. The 9 revised full papers and 5 short papers presented together with 11 papers of the AIMS Ph.D. workshop were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions to the main conference and 22 submissions to the Ph.D. workshop. The papers are organized in topical sections on P2P-based systems; autonomous management; overlays and non-conventional network infrastructures; management mechanisms; and security, network monitoring, and analysis.
