Letter from the Techincal Program Co-Chairs
It is our great
pleasure to invite you to the 8th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and
Management Symposium (NOMS 2002). Held in the even-numbered years
since 1988, NOMS 2002 will continue the established tradition of
NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of research,
standards, development, systems integrator, service providers, and
user communities.
Following our
symposium’s theme "Management Solutions for the New Communications
World", NOMS 2002 will present the latest approaches and technical
solutions in the area of network operations and management. An exciting,
peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, tutorials, and vendor
exhibits will address the ever-increasing interest in overall management
solutions for all types of communications and computing networks,
systems, services and enterprise applications.
For NOMS 2002,
we have received a high number of paper submissions, 173 in total.
Each paper that was within the scope of NOMS was reviewed by at
least three international experts. The full technical program committee
made the final decision on acceptance or rejection of every submitted
paper during a 2-day face-to-face meeting in Nancy, France. In the
end, 57 technical papers were selected for presentation at NOMS
2002. In addition, the technical program committee and the poster
chair selected 18 submissions for poster presentations.
We have divided
the 3-day technical program into three parallel tracks. First, two
tracks include technical papers focusing on various aspects of the
network management field from a technical and academic point of
view. Second, a third track covers paper presentation and panel
discussions on the operational aspects, industry experiences, and
business aspects. It is the first time in NOMS history that we have
combined into a single track all sessions with particular relevance
to an industry audience. As in the past, the program includes a
number of first class tutorials taught by leading experts in the
industry and academia
We are convinced
that NOMS 2002 exhibits a high-quality program that is attractive
to experts from research, planning and operations in the field of
network management. We would like to express our gratitude to the
authors of the technical papers, without whom this symposium would
not be possible, our technical program committee, and the numerous
expert reviewers who worked diligently under very tight schedules.
Finally, our thanks go to the members of the organizing committee
for their help and tireless effort in making the symposium a success,
as well as the IEEE Communications Society for their professional
help and advice in managing the innumerable details that are needed
to organize such a symposium.
See you in
Florence!
