The Tenth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated
Management (IM 2007) will be held 21-25 May 2007 in Munich,
Germany. IM 2007 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 2007
will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve
as the primary forum for exchange among the research,
standards, vendor and user communities in the field of
integrated management. 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).
Integrated management of networked systems is facing new
challenges, stemming from a combination of rapidly evolving
technologies and an increased scrutiny from corporate
customers. At the same time, as IT and network services
become more and more ubiquitous, their reliability and
performance become more critical for all kinds of
enterprises. The resulting demands for improving and
verifying service quality must be met in an environment of
increasingly distributed and decentralized service
provisioning, accelerated service lifecycles, and
unprecedented security challenges. Today's IT management
issues involve many diverse problems in controlling
heterogeneous IT infrastructures, often across
organizational boundaries. However, new and difficult
challenges are emerging while aligning technical and
organizational IT management to business requirements, thus
calling for integrating management tools and measures
"from bits to business value".
IM 2007 will be organized into technical and application
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 2007
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 the most respected experts in the field. We
encourage papers that break new ground or present
insightful results based on experience with integrated
management of networks, systems, applications and services.
Submission Instructions
-----------------------
Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF
format through the IM 2007 web site. Papers must be written
in English. Only original papers that have not been
published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be
submitted. Self-plagiarized papers and multiple submissions
will be rejected without further review. Full papers are
required for review.
If accepted, the maximum length of each paper will be 10
printed pages including figures in IEEE 2-column style.
For samples and templates, please visit the IM 2007 web site.
