CALL FOR PAPERS
The Eighth IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Management of the Future Internet (ManFI 2016) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2016) in Istanbul, Turkey, April 25-29, 2016. The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, is endorsed by the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM) and the EU FP7 Flamingo Network of Excellence research project, and is in cooperation with Communications Society, IEICE.
Following the success of the previous editions of this workshop, the main goal of the workshop is to present state-of-the-art research results and experience reports in the area of Future Internet Management, addressing amongst others currently important topics such as efficient network and service monitoring for the Future Internet, management of virtualized networks and services, management of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS offerings, content-aware and information-centric networks, management of software defined networks, federated management of the Future Internet, and economic based network and service management.
ManFI 2016 will combine original full paper presentations with a motivating keynote, quick hot topic presentations and a panel discussion. Furthermore, the workshop attendees will be stimulated to participate in interesting discussions amongst the attendees, such that all participants can take home lots of ideas for consideration in their ongoing research projects or start new research projects to address the challenging topics. To this end, short papers describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also welcome.

PAPER 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Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.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 conference 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: (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/manfi2016).
PROCEEDINGS
Papers accepted for ManFI 2016 will be included in the conference proceedings, IEEE Xplore, IFIP database and EI Index. IEEE and IFIP reserve the right to remove any paper from the IEEE Xplore and IFIP database if the paper is not presented at the workshop.
PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the ManFI 2016 Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore速, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the workshop unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers.
