Call for Papers
The 6th Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium (LANOMS 2009)
will be held on October 19th-21st, 2008 at the Conrad Resort & Casino in Punta
del Este, Uruguay. LANOMS 2009 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 2009 is promoted by the University of the Republic of Uruguay (UdelaR).
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 International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of
Networks and Distributed Systems , and by the IEEE Communications Society (pending).
Several types of sessions will be held at LANOMS 2009.
Technical sessions will be held for the presentation of full scientific papers
discussing recent research results.
Poster sessions are directed for more informal interactions and presenting work
in progress. Short papers can be submitted for consideration as poster
presentations. Posters will be selected from these short papers and full papers.
Application sessions aim to complement the Technical Sessions with 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.
