FW: [Ifip_nm] NOMS 2004 - Nine days to the Deadline - 15th August 2003

-----Original Message----- From: ifip_nm-admin(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca [mailto:ifip_nm-admin@bbcr.uwaterloo.ca]On Behalf Of Raouf Boutaba Sent: quarta-feira, 6 de Agosto de 2003 19:23 To: IFIP_NM Subject: [Ifip_nm] NOMS 2004 - Nine days to the Deadline - 15th August 2003 (Please accept our apologies if you receive duplicates of this message) Call for Paper ***** Paper submission deadline extended to Friday 15th August 2003 ***** Network Operation & Management Symposium 2004 "Managing Next Generation Convergence Networks and Services" Seoul Korea, 19-23, April 2004 See < http://www.noms2004.org/> for latest information The 9th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2004) will be held 19-23 April, 2004 at Seoul, Korea. Held in the even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2004 will continue the established tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of research, standards, development, systems integrator, service providers, and user communities. NOMS 2004 will present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area of network operations and management. An exciting, peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, tutorials, posters, panels and vendor exhibits will address the ever-increasing interest in overall management solutions for all types of communications and computing networks, systems, services and enterprise applications. The concept of network convergence has recently emerged as a new attempt for the merging of telephony and data networks into a single, multi-service network exploiting the ubiquity of the Internet Protocol. For this increasingly attractive business model, in both wired and wireless domains, strategic research is required to devise the best integration architectures, operations and management solutions. This creates a unique opportunity for the network operation and management community to respond to the ever-increasing demand for network resilience, security, quality-of-service and mobility management at unprecedented scales. The NOMS 2004 provides the forum for discussing these research challenges and many others inherent to the integrated management of next generation converged networks and services. This year NOMS 2004 will broaden the scope of previous IM and NOMS by expanding its program to include a broader set of topics ranging from network operation and management to network planning, service engineering and business processes for network and service management. Special attention will be given to experiences that emphasize lessons learned and reports on practice from industry. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal. Authors are also invited to submit proposals for tutorials, panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or birds-of-a-feather sessions. Important Dates: Deadline for Submitting Papers: 15 August 2003 Deadline for Tutorials, Panels and Posters: 1 October 2003 Notification of Acceptance:15 November 2003 Deadline for Submitting Revised Papers:15 December 2003 Final Camera Ready Papers Due 15 January 2004 _______________________________________________ IFIP_NM mailing list IFIP_NM(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca http://bbcr.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/ifip_nm

There is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of service quality. All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for realising integrated end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in isolation. Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, along with secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for the future Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks. The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, 2003 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. In just 6 years, MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a focus on the management of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to bring together researchers working in all facets of network and service management as applied to broadband networks and multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, developing and deploying networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research and development results. MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The keynote speaker will be Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present a vision of future interplanetary network architectures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of Intel's recently formed laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research being undertaken on global overlay networks and applications. The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Active multimedia network management * Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks * Augmented and Virtual Reality Networks * Billing and Accounting * Cable multimedia network management * Content distribution internetworking * Deployment of multimedia services * Distributed multimedia service management * End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management * IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management * Middleware support for management * Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization * Multimedia traffic management * Multimedia content protection * Multimedia session management * Multi-point, multicast services management * Network management models and architectures * Network programmability for multimedia services * Optical multimedia network management * Policy-based management for multi-media services * Provisioning of multimedia networks and services * QoS in WLANs * QoS management * Resource, performance and fault management * Security and Authentication * VoIP service management * Web Services * Wireless and mobile multimedia network management Papers must be submitted electronically in postscript or PDF format. Detailed instructions are provided on the conference web site, http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003. Submission date: 18th April 2003 Notification of acceptance: 6th June 2003 Final version: 4th July 2003 Conference Chairs: Professor Alan Marshall, a.marshall(a)ee.qub.ac.uk, Queen's University of Belfast, UK Professor Nazim Agoulmine, nazim(a)rp.lip6.fr, University of Evry, France Qiang Gu Advanced Telecommunication Systems Laboratory School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering The Queen's University of Belfast Belfast Northern Ireland.
