The Ninth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2005) will be held 16-19 May 2005 in Nice, France. IM 2005 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2005 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in networking. New networked worlds emerge in which connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous and the infrastructure blends in seamlessly with business functions, applications, and the supported environment. These new worlds are characterized by properties such as convergence, context awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of resources, massive P2P infrastructures, and unprecedented security challenges. Further, new types of networks are emerging such as sensor, agent, storage-area, and grid-based networks. All of this incurs new challenges and opportunities for network management and the ways in which it is approached, requiring management technology to evolve as rapidly as the new networked worlds.IM 2005 will be organized into technical sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2005 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes many of the most respected experts in the field.
Detailed submission instructions are available on the symposium Web site, http://www.ieee-im.org/. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Management paradigms, models, and algorithms Integrating control and management, cooperative control Self management and management automation Policy and role based management Advanced management instrumentation Adaptive and programmable management Information modeling Management ontologies Management functions and operational challenges Security management, defense against security threats Network and service monitoring, event correlation,filtering Network and service diagnostics, proactive management Business and operational processes Traffic engineering and measurement Service creation, deployment, and provisioning Accounting, charging and billing Service portability and mobility SLAs, service level monitoring, QoS management Managed services management Scalability, resilience and survivability
