               (Paper Submission Date: June 1, 2010)

The 6th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM
2010) is a premier annual conference, sponsored by IEEE COMPSOC and IFIP,
in the general area of network, systems, and services management.  Built
upon the success starting in 2005 to collocate six management workshops
within the same week (MANWEEK), this year we debut the single main
conference with a single track. The integrated conference provides a
unique opportunity to showcase both premier research results and
innovative cross-disciplinary explorations. As an open forum, we encourage
authors to explore new ideas and to boost the synergy among distinctive
but strongly correlated areas.

Topics of interest include:

   Service and IT Management
     Distributed systems operations and management
