IPOM 2005

The 5th IEEE International Workshop on IP Operations & Management O&M Challenges in Next Generation Services and Networks

October 26-28, 2005, Barcelona, Spain http://www.iaria.org/conferences/IPOM05.html

(IPOM 2005 is co-located with DSOM, MMNS and SSS events)

Call for Papers

Scope -------

The IPOM 2005 is the fifth in a series of dedicated events to Operations and Management in IP-based networks. Building on the success of the previous events, IPOM 2005 focuses on complexity of interoperability between networks and service providers, the performance versus costs in operating the IP-based networks, and the OM challenges in next generation networks (NGN) and related seamless service provision. Also issues related to Fixed-Mobile Convergence and the emerging IP Multimedia System (IMS) are of prime interest.

Paper submissions ----------------------

Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 6 pages including figures, tables, references and annexes in .pdf or .doc formats. The proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found via anonymous FTP site at: ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/8.5x11%20%20Formatting%20files/instruct.pdf

The IPOM submission page is available at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/ipom2005. Further details on submission can be found at http://www.iaria.org/conferences/IPOM05.html
