CALL FOR PAPERS

2002 IEEE Workshop on IP Operations & Management (IPOM 2002)

Octiber 29-31, 2002 Dallas, Texas USA http://snoopy.seas.smu.edu/ipom2002/

Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society

The 2002 IEEE Workshop on IP Operations and Management will be held in Dallas, Texas, near the "Telecom Corridor" constituted by Nortel Networks, Ericsson, Alcatel, Nokia, Cisco Systems, and other major industry leaders. The workshop will include a day of tutorials and two days of presentations on original research. The purpose of the workshop is to share research, experiences, and ideas among researchers, engineers, and service providers involved in IP-oriented network management and operations. As IP-based networks continue to expand from traditional data services to new real-time and multimedia services, they become more difficult to manage. At the same time, their proper operation is more important to maintain for business. It is vital to find both theoretical and practical solutions to address these challenges.

Original papers are invited on such topics as (but not limited to):

* Using SNMP to manage networks * Web-based network management * Operations of IP networks * SNMP versus TMN-based approaches * Integrated management of multilayer networks * Management of IP over SONET/SDH or WDM networks * Management of IP over ATM * Network management platforms * Management of QoS in IP networks * Security management for IP networks * Mobility management, eg, mobile IP * Management of Voice over IP * Accounting, tariffing, and billing * Network monitoring and diagnostics * Deployment of new IP services, eg, diffserv, multicast, IPv6, etc. * CORBA/Java-based network management * Distributed network management and mobile agents * IP traffic modeling and management * Network planning and dimensioning * Policy driven networks * Scalability issues * Case studies and experiments
