5th Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium
September 10-12, 2007 LNCC - Petrópolis, Brazil
http://www.lanoms.org/2007
The 5th Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium (LANOMS
2007) will be held on September 10-12, 2007 at the National Scientific
Computing Laboratory (LNCC) in Petrópolis, Brazil. LANOMS 2007 will offer
the latest technical advances in all aspects of the operation and management
of distributed infrastructures, including networks, application services and
distributed systems in general. LANOMS has been held in odd-numbered years
since 1999 and pursues the tradition of the NOMS and APNOMS events.
LANOMS 2007 is promoted by National Scientific Computing Laboratory (LNCC).
It aims to be the primary forum in Latin America for the exchange of ideas
and results among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in
the field of operations and management. The symposium is co-sponsored by the
Brazilian Society for Computing (SBC), the National Computer Networks
laboratory (LARC), 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) .
The management of networks and distributed systems continues to face major
challenges, among which the most critical are reliability and availability,
scale, security, the integration of heterogeneous technologies, and
demonstrating alignment with the business. Combining all these aspects at
one and the same time is still not resolved satisfactorily, although
solutions are improving with time.
LANOMS is an event open to participants from all over the world who are
interested in having, or already have, research or commercial liaisons in
Latin America - one of the fastest growing regions in the world in
networking.
Several types of sessions will be held at LANOMS 2007.
papers discussing recent research results.

work in progress. Short papers can be submitted for consideration as poster
presentations. Posters will be selected from these short papers and full
papers.
contributions that emphasize practical experiences and lessons learnt in
conjunction with management technology. They will focus on aspects such as
real-world deployment scenarios, experiences with the management of new
services and technology, industrial applications of management technology,
implementation examples of new management technology, organizational impact,
and business cases. The intended audience especially includes decision
makers and experts from industry.
Paper submissions will undergo a rigorous review process performed by the
Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in
the field. We encourage the submission of papers that present new research
results or that present insightful results based on experience with the
operation and management of networks, systems, applications and services.
