3rd International Workshop on Autonomous Network Management Systems (ANMS 2024)

Name: 3rd International Workshop on Autonomous Network Management Systems (ANMS 2024)
Start: 2024-05-06T13:46:19Z
Location: Seoul, South Korea

Abstract

Beyond 5G and 6G wireless systems are expected to handle significantly increased data rates, provide ultra-low latency and enhanced connectivity to massive numbers of devices, and bring improvements in network energy efficiency. This new generation of networking systems aims to be fully autonomous networks (AN) with management capabilities, such as self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimizing, and self-evolving aspects, that today’s networks do not support as their management is largely manual with some automated assistance.

This workshop focuses on novel research in algorithms, architectures, approaches, and applications in the autonomous management of 5G and 6G systems. We encourage original paper submissions from academia and industry presenting work in progress or novel research on the most recent advances, frameworks, models, and approaches for management of autonomous networks using enabling techniques, such as AI/ML, virtualisation, and blockchain. We are also interested in articles revising the state-of-the-art of this topic, showing recent major advances and discoveries, significant gaps in the research, current standardization status, and new future issues.

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Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.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:
