PRELIMINATY CALL FOR PAPERS

12th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and
Management Symposium (NOMS 2010)

19-23 April, 2010 - Osaka, Japan
http://www.noms2010.org

The 12th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS
2010) will be held 19-23 April 2010 at Osaka, Japan. Held in even
numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2010 will follow the 22 years
tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange
on network management in terms of research, standards, development,
systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2010
will present up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for new
management paradigms to deal with the new management issues in future
infrastructures such as Web 2.0 or beyond service environments, cloud
computing platforms or large-scale datacenters, and Future Internet,
as well as the conventional issues in large and complex services,
systems, and networks.

NOMS 2010 will offer four types of sessions: technical, application,
poster, and panel. Technical sessions present high-quality papers on
the latest research results in the network operations and management
area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the experience
of IT and telecommunications industries, such as service providers,
OSS vendors, and equipment manufacturers. The scope here includes
customer requirements, management system implementations, and business
practices. Poster sessions provide an insight into work-in-progress.
Panel sessions focus on business implications, market trends, and
emerging applications with panelists who are technology and business
leaders.
