Overview
------------------
Recently, various convergences in wired and wireless networks, and
convergence of telecommunications and broadcastings are taking place
for ubiquitous multimedia service provisioning. For example, broadband
IP/MPLS wired networks are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e
wireless LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN, 3G/4G wireless cellular
networks, and direct multimedia broadcast (DMB) network. For efficient
support of service provisioning for ubiquitous multimedia services on
the broadband convergence networks, well-designed and implemented
network operations and management functions with QoS-guaranteed
traffic engineering are essential.

In APNOMS 2007, the topics of interest include, but not limited to,
network & service management for broadband convergence networks,
business operations & management, service-oriented managements (e.g.,
SLA/SLS, security, billing), management architecture and technologies,
various experiences, and recent standardization activities:

1) Network Management
- Management of IP-based Networks
- SLA/QoS Management, Traffic Engineering
- Management of Ad-hoc/Mesh Networks
- Management of 3G/4G Networks
- Management of Sensor Networks
- Management of DWDM, Optical Cross-connect
- Home Network Management
- Management of Wireless LANs
- Management of Heterogeneous Networks
- Virtual Network Provisioning and Operation
- Network Monitoring and Measurements
2) Architectures, Methods & Technologies
- Architectures and Models
- Autonomic Management
- Control Theoretic Management Approaches
- Peer-to-Peer Management
- Web/Java Based Management
- Mobile Agent-based Management
- Policy-based Management
- Next Generation OSS Platforms
- Converged Networking Issues
- Mobility Management
- SNMP, NETCONF, Web Services, XML
3) Service Management
- Security Management
- Accounting and Billing
- Applications and Service Provisioning
- Seamless Service with Roaming and Handover
- Regulatory Issues
- Management Architecture for Ubiquitous Computing
- Ubiquitous Service Platforms
- Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking
4) Business Management
- ISP/ASP/CSP Management
- Business Process Engineering
- Customer Care and Self Operations
- e-Business Management
5) Experiences
- Trial Results, Migration and Case Studies
- Interoperability Issues
- R&D Networks


Paper Submissions
------------------

Both of technical session and innovation session papers must be
submitted via online, through JEMS
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=431).  Please refer to the
APNOMS 2007 homepage for detailed paper preparation and submission
instructions.

[Technical Session]
The APNOMS 2007 proceedings of technical session papers will be
published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
as done in APNOMS 2006. Original and unpublished technical session
papers and poster session papers are solicited. All submitted papers
should be written in English and should not have been submitted for
review elsewhere. Authors are requested to submit PDF file of the
10-page, single-spaced LNCS-style manuscripts for technical session
papers. The LNCS guidelines can be obtained at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

In addition, authors of the best five APNOMS 2007 papers will be
invited to submit extended versions for possible publication in the
special issue of Journal of Network and Systems Management (JNSM)
which is indexed in SCIE of Thompson Scientific.

[Innovation Session]
APNOMS 2007 will include innovation session to present and discuss
ongoing research, work-in-progress ideas, practical solutions,
experimental studies, and any topic of interest to the
community. Innovation session will be formed with short presentations
including discussions and feedbacks. Presenters are requested to
submit PDF file of the 8-page visual/text format manuscripts. The
sample file can be obtained at http://www.apnoms.org/apnoms-sample.ppt

Note: accepted submissions for innovation session will not be included
in LNCS proceedings (to be included in CD-ROM proceedings only).
