CNSM 2010 (Former Manweek) 6th International Conference on Network and Service Management

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.
