AIM AND SCOPE
MONAMI 2010 aims at bringing together top researchers, academics, and
practitioners specializing in the area of Mobile Network Management
(MNM) and Service Management.
Multiaccess and resource management, mobility management, and network
management have emerged as core topics in the design, deployment, and
operation of current and future networks. Yet, they are treated as
separate, isolated domains with very little interaction between the
experts in these fields and lack cross-pollination. MONAMI 2010
offers the opportunity to leading researchers, industry
professionals, and academics around the world to meet and discuss the
latest advances in these areas and present results related to
technologies for true plug-and-play networking, efficient use of all
infrastructure investments, and access competition. The aim of the
forum is to disseminate the latest innovative mobile network
solutions for increased competition and cooperation in an environment
with a multitude of access technologies, network operators and business actors.
MONAMI 2010 invites papers that follow either evolutionary approaches
based on current IP-centered architectures or introduce revolutionary
MNM approaches and new paradigms. Papers reporting experimental and
empirical studies as well as implementation/industry results
(including testbeds and field trials) are also welcome.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Multiaccess networks and resource management
* Energy efficiency for multiaccess networks
* Emerging and visionary multimedia services, service enablers,
and management
* Multimedia services in mobile/multiaccess networks
* Business models and economics for a mobile/multiaccess world
* Future Internet architectures for Mobile Network Management
* Management standards and enabling technologies, including IEEE
802.21 and ANDSF
* Management of wireless cognitive networks
* Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluations
* Service and application management platforms
Papers accompanied by a live demonstration at the conference are
actively solicited. Authors planning to present a demonstration
should indicate this accordingly when submitting the paper.

SPECIAL TRACKS
We also seek papers, which within the main scope of MONAMI, address a
range of topics clustered in the following special tracks.
Autonomic Networks and Services
Chair: Symeon Papavassiliou
Autonomic networking is targeting at complexity issues related to
network management. Autonomic systems engineering or autonomics is
about designing systems that exhibit the so-called self-* properties
e.g. self-configuring, self-healing etc., in short self-managing
properties, in order to make the systems themselves tackle management
complexities that are otherwise difficult to be handled by systems
and network operations personnel. Autonomics is not only about self-*
functions that relieve the burden on network operations personnel,
but is also about implementing self-* functions for
self-adaptability, context or situation driven behavior changes in
systems, services or applications.
Topics to be addressed in this MONAMI special track include, but are
not limited to, the following:
* Autonomic behavior in mobile ad hoc networks
* Autonomic network monitoring
* Security and trust in Autonomic Networks
* Autonomic QoS and QoE in wireless networks
* Autonomic routing and forwarding
* Resilience and survivability in Autonomic Networks
* Scalability and stability in Autonomic networks
* Self-* properties of Autonomic Networks
* IPv6 and autonomicity
Lower Layer Aspects
Chair: Faouzi Bader
It is now believed that proper management of available resources and
the involved services can no longer be fulfilled without the capacity
of interacting with the subjacent lower layers. There must be some
interaction between the corresponding entities and parties.
Reciprocally, the information and the possibilities of the physical
and MAC layers should be made aware.
This special track is soliciting papers on:
* IMT advanced physical layer techniques
* Advanced spectrum sharing techniques and protocols
* Cognitive access and protocol design for interference management
Smart Objects
Chair: Antonio Puliafito
A smart object allows the virtual world to become real and physical
objects to become part of a virtualized reality. A smart object
automatically distributes information about itself, enriched with
additional details on its behavior, location, owner, functioning
state, surrounding environment. As a result, a huge amount of
information is systematically generated by smart objects and put in
strict relation with a constantly updated information base.
Identification technology is one aspect of the problem, but new
advances are needed to create, track, use smart objects and allow
their management in new advanced everyday applications.
Some of the topics to be addressed in this special track include, but
are not limited to, the following:
* Architecture and design of new services with smart objects
* Middleware to simplify smart objects interaction
* Managing smart objects in a multiaccess world
* Management for the Internet of Things
Security in Mobile Network Management
Co-Chairs: Stephen Farrell and Peter Schoo
Security is a vital part of Mobile Network Management (MNM) and
targets the legitimate use and integrity of network resources as well
as the prevention of misuse of these resources for operational
availability. The dynamics in mobile networks present challenges to
viable security solutions; there are trade-offs between security
solutions and user privacy or profile building. The management of
mobile networks also cannot currently cover the access of malware
coming in via increasingly capable devices or smartphones.
In order to support the exchange of new ideas about security
solutions or early experiences from R&D activities in this area we
invite submissions of new work not submitted elsewhere on topics such
as the following:
* Security solutions for managed and infrastructureless networks
* Security in Future Internet approaches for MNM
* Security of post MPLS-protocols and virtual networks
* Attacks on mobiles and their effects on network operations
* Security management in support of MNM
* Access network and network element integrity protection
* The interplay between privacy enhancing technologies and MNM
Network Virtualization in a Heterogeneous World
Chair: Andreas Timm-Giel
Network Virtualization is already being applied to share physical
resources in today's networks. It is furthermore seen as a suitable
way to move to a Future Internet allowing the coexistence of legacy
networks with new networking approaches. However, suitability,
challenges, and advantages of network virtualization for
heterogeneous, wireless, and multiaccess networks still need to be explored.
Therefore this special track focuses on:
* Virtualization of multiaccess networks
* Multihoming in Virtual Networks
* Wireless Network Virtualization
* Virtualized Wireless Resource Management
* Performance and energy efficiency for virtualized multiaccess networks

SUBMISSION
We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting
original material that has not been previously published, and is not
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should
not exceed 12 pages in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST)
format and must be submitted by 30 April 2010. Short papers of up to
8 pages, reporting most current results, are also solicited. LNICST
templates are available from
<http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-564009-0>http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-564009-0.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three
independent reviewers, including a TPC member, to ensure high quality
and relevance to the topics of the conference. All accepted papers
will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST series and
then be included in major article indexing
services.<http://mon-ami.org/cfp.shtml>

BEST PAPER AWARDS
The organizing committee of MONAMI 2010, in cooperation with ICST, is
happy to announce three awards for accepted papers that exhibit
outstanding technical merit. The MONAMI 2010 Best Paper Award will be
presented to the authors during a special ceremony and will be
accompanied by a EUR 250 prize. The Best Student Paper award will be
presented during the same ceremony and is accompanied by a EUR 150
prize. Finally, MONAMI 2010 will also present the Best Paper
Accompanied by a Demonstration at the conference, which will carry a
EUR 100 prize.
All papers submitted are automatically candidates for the Best Paper Award.
Student authors need to inform the organizing committee of their
