********************************************************************************

The Seventh IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Analytics for Network and
Service Management (AnNet 2022) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP
Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2022) from April 25th to
29th 2022 in Budapest, Hungary

Following the success of the six previous 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 2022 will include original full-paper presentations and short-paper
sessions. The workshop attendees will be stimulated to participate in
interesting discussions. To this end, position papers, short papers describing
late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research and
experimental work are also welcome.

AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS
=========================

Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.
Papers under review elsewhere must not be submitted to the workshop. All
contributions must be submitted in PDF format via JEMS submission system
(https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=4019).

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. Hence, please submit on the corresponding
track that you will find on JEMS.
Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style. Self-plagiarized papers will be
rejected without further review. The accepted papers will be submitted for
publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Papers will be withdrawn from
IEEE Xplore in case the authors do not present their paper at the workshop.
Also, authors of selected workshop papers will be fast-tracked for the
publication of extended articles in the Springer Journal of Network and System
Management (JNSM)
