September 23-25 2009, Jeju Island, Korea

In these days, various convergences in wired and wireless networks, and
convergence of telecommunications and broadcastings are taking place
widely for ubiquitous multimedia service provisioning. As an example,
broadband IP networks are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e wireless
LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN, 3G/4G wireless cellular networks, and
broadcasting networks. 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 not essential, but crucial. In
APNOMS 2009, 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, configuration & fault
management for broadband converged networks, recent standardization
activities, and various experiences & practices:

Paper Submission:
Both technical and innovation session papers must be submitted via online,
through JEMS (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/apnoms2009).
Please refer to the APNOMS 2009 homepage (http://www.apnoms.org/2009/) for
detailed paper preparation and submission instructions.

Technical Session:
The APNOMS 2009 proceedings of technical session papers will be published
in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as done in APNOMS
2008. The technical papers published in the APNOMS 2009 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 Original and unpublished technical and innovation session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 2009 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 2009 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.
