IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The Westin Seattle
Seattle,Washington, USA
14-18 May 2001

"INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM"

             CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The Seventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network
Management (IM 2001) will be held on 14-18 May 2001 in Seattle, Washington,
USA. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Network Management
for Communication Networks, and by the IEEE Communications Society
Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
IM (tm) and the Network Operations and Management Symposia (NOMS)
are the premier technical conferences in the area of network and
systems management, operations and control.

IM 2001 will build upon the successes of IM and NOMS each year since
1988, in serving as the primary forum for technical exchange for
the research, standards, development, systems integrator, vendor
and user communities in the area of network and distributed systems
management, operations and control.

At the dawn of the new millennium, the ubiquitous explosion of the
Internet and the fast proliferation of networked devices and business
applications create a unique challenge for the network management
community. Innovative solutions are required for managing the sheer
numbers of devices and the complexity of applications. Further, new
ways of strategic thinking must be incorporated in future management
products and services to ensure a smooth transition to the new networked
society. Management in this new information era will need to support
the integration of data and telecommunications networks, from narrowband
to broadband, terrestrial to satellite, fixed to mobile and uni-media
to multi-media. The IM 2001 conference provides a forum for discussion
of new paradigms and architectures (or new spins on old ones) that
can deal with the many management issues related to these next-generation
networks.

This symposium, along with NOMS, is the premier annual event where
the latest research and industrial solutions for integrated management
of networks and distributed systems are presented in technical sessions,
tutorials, and vendor exhibits. IM 2001 introduces a new track of
industrial experience to permit the sharing of the lessons learnt
from case studies by the user or vendor community.

The IM 2001 symposium will provide the highest quality professional
event of the year through active participation on the Program Committee
of many of the most respected people in the fields of network and
distributed systems management, and a stringent review process.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under
review in any other conference or journal, as well as proposals for tutorials,
panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or birds-of-a-feather sessions
(informal discussion groups) in the following topic areas. Other topics
relevant to management are also welcome and we particularly encourage
industrial papers on case studies and experiences which emphasise the lessons
learnt.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Papers are to be submitted in English.

The cover page should indicate whether it is a research or experiences paper;
and include paper title, abstract, list of key-words indicating the paper
topic area (preferably from the above list), author(s) full name(s),
affiliation(s) and complete address(es), telephone number(s) and electronic
mail address(es).

All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three
international experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure
high quality. The authors of accepted papers will receive the suggested
modifications for inclusion in the widely distributed, hard-bound Symposium
Proceedings published by IEEE. The final camera-ready copy should be no longer
than 14 single-spaced pages. Final papers arriving too late will be removed
from the program. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
paper will be presented at the symposium.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION IS MANDATORY. Authors are requested to submit papers
in PDF (preferred) or postscript format via the web
(see www.comsoc.org/confs/im/2001 for instructions) or by email to .

For ALL submissions the cover page of the paper should be submitted using the
available on-line form if the paper is submitted via the web, or in plain text
format (ASCII) if the paper is submitted by e-mail.

VENDOR PROGRAM

The Symposium offers vendors the opportunity to demonstrate their network and
systems management products to leaders and innovators from around the world.
Various levels of participation are available. As a Symposia Patron, you can
present your products and services in our vendor showcase. Symposia Patrons
will also have an opportunity to make a product-related presentation on recent
technical advancements, product enhancements, or corporate directions. The
vendor showcase will be open during the three days of the symposium, in
parallel with other sessions. For IM '01 we are adding a lower cost vendor
participation level designed for smaller companies with innovative
technologies. Cost will be saved through time- shared demonstration facilities
and displays.

Vendors interested in becoming Symposium Sponsors or participating in the
showcase should contact the

STIPENDS

A limited number of stipends will be available to those unable to obtain
funding to attend the conference. Students whose papers are accepted and who
will present the paper themselves are encouraged to apply if such assistance
is needed. Requests for stipends should be addressed to the Program Co-Chair
responsible for the requestor's region. Please also note that a limited number
of IFIP and IEEE Student Travel Grants may be available for student authors
who will be presenting papers.
