Dear Application Session TPC Member:
Thank you very much for your wonderful participation in the IM2005 AppSess TPC. The AppSess program was a great success, and we look forward to making it even better in NOMS2006:
www.noms2006.org
The NOMS2006 AppSess TPC is looking forward to working with you. Our goal is to increase both the quality and the diversity, as well as the quantity of submissions to the Application Session part of NOMS2006.
We are enclosing the AppSess CFP.
Please distribute this CFP among your colleagues, and please encourage them to submit! Also, if you think of good additions to the AppSess TPC, we look forward to your recommendations that will help us achieve these goals.
We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!
Respectfully,
Joseph, Prosper, and Yoshiaki NOMS2006 Application Sessions Co-Chairs

The 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006) will be held on 3-7 April 2006 in the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Vancouver, Canada. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006 will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of the research, standards, development, systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for integrated systems and services including communication networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and panels as well as vendor exhibits.
Integrated systems and services require considerations for todayâ^À^Ùs multi-service and multi-domain environment of heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on integrated management that encompasses provisioning, operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience, quality-of-service, mobility management, and services billing. In particular, these considerations include the combination of wireless and wired networks and the integration of all-IP communication systems.
NOMS 2006 will offer five types of sessions: technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. 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.
