Towards Management of Future Networks and Services

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

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

Workshops on specialized topics will be held on the days before (June 19) and after (June 23) the NOMS technical program. Workshop proposals are solicited. They will be reviewed by the NOMS 2010 Technical Program Committee.
