   The  11th  Asia-Pacific  Network Operations and Management Symposium
(APNOMS 2008) will be held in Beijing, China from October 22 to 24,2008.
Recently,   various  convergences  in  wired  and wireless networks, and
convergence of telecommunications and broadcastings are taking place for
ubiquitous  multimedia  service  provisioning.  For  example,  broadband
IP/MPLS wired networks are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e wireless
LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN,  3G/4G  wireless  cellular  networks, and
direct  multimedia broadcast (DMB) network.  For  efficient  support  of
service provisioning for ubiquitous multimedia services on the broadband
convergence networks, well-designed and implemented  network  operations
and management  functions  with  QoS-guaranteed  traffic engineering are
essential.

   In APNOMS 2008, the topics of interest include,  but  not limited to,
network & service management for broadband convergence networks,business
operations  &  management, service-oriented  managements (e.g., SLA/SLS,
security, billing),  management  architecture  and technologies, various
experiences, and recent standardization activities:

1) Network Management
   - Management of IP-based Networks
   - SLA/QoS Management, Traffic Engineering
   - Management of Ad-hoc/Mesh Networks
   - Management of 3G/4G Networks
   - Management of Sensor Networks
   - Management of DWDM, Optical Cross-connect
   - Home Network Management
   - Management of Wireless LANs
   - Management of Heterogeneous Networks
   - Virtual Network Provisioning and Operation
   - Network Monitoring and Measurements

2) Architectures, Methods & Technologies
   - Architectures and Models
   - Autonomic Management
   - Control Theoretic Management Approaches
   - Peer-to-Peer Management
   - Web/Java Based Management
   - Mobile Agent-based Management
   - Policy-based Management
   - Next Generation OSS Platforms
   - Converged Networking Issues
   - Mobility Management
   - SNMP, NETCONF, Web Services, XML

3) Service Management
   - Services Science, Management & Engineering
   - Security Management
   - Accounting and Billing
   - Applications and Service Provisioning
   - Seamless Service with Roaming and Handover
   - Regulatory Issues
   - Management Architecture for Ubiquitous Computing
   - Ubiquitous Service Platforms
   - Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking

4) Business Management
   - ISP/ASP/CSP Management
   - Business Process Engineering
   - Customer Care and Self Operations
   - e-Business Management

5) Experiences
   - Trial Results, Migration and Case Studies
   - Interoperability Issues
   - R&D Networks

Paper Submission:
   Both  technical  and  innovation  session  papers  must be submitted
via  online,  through  JEMS  (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/apnoms2008).
Please refer to the APNOMS 2008 homepage for detailed  paper preparation
and submission instructions.

Technical Session:
  The  APNOMS  2008  proceedings  of  technical  session papers will be
published in  Springer  Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as done
in APNOMS 2007.  The  technical  papers  published  in  the  APNOMS 2008
proceedings will be EI-indexed.  Original  and unpublished technical and
innovation session papers are solicited.  All  submitted  papers  should
be written in English and should not  have  been  submitted  for  review
elsewhere. Authors  are  requested  to  submit  PDF file of the 10-page,
single-spaced  LNCS-style  manuscripts  for  technical  session  papers.
The LNCS guidelines can be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
In  addition,  authors  of  the  best  five  APNOMS  2008 papers will be
invited  to  submit  extended  versions  for possible publication in the
special  issue of  Journal  of  Network  and  Systems  Management (JNSM)
which is indexed in SCIE of Thompson Scientific.

Innovation Session:
  APNOMS 2008  will  include  innovation session to present and discuss
ongoing    research,    work-in-progress   ideas,   practical solutions,
experimental  studies,   and   any  topic  of interest to the community.
Innovation session will be  formed  with  short  presentations including
discussions and feedbacks. Presenters  are  requested to submit PDF file
of the 8-page visual/text format manuscripts.
The sample file can be obtained at http://www.apnoms.org/apnoms-sample.ppt.
