CALL FOR PAPERS
The IPOM 2009 is the ninth in a series of dedicated events to Operations
and Management in IP-based networks. Recently there has been a number of
highly ambitious international research undertakings and programs in the
space of the future Internet design GENI and FIND in USA, FIRE in
Europe, u-Japan in Japan and CNGI in China are few to be named.
Building on the success of the previous events, IPOM 2009 focuses on
network management challenges for the current Internet as well
as future Internet design. We are particularly interested in network
managementissues related to virtualization, mobility, service provision,
security, multimedia,wireless networking, P2P applications, and future
Internet architectures.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Self-Configuration, Self-Healing, and Self-Management
- Managing Virtualization and Managing via Virtualization
- Management approaches to the future Internet
- Increasing Network Robustness via Management
- Autonomic Network Management
- Management of Wireless Networks
- Managing and Troubleshooting Network Mobility
- Traffic Modeling, Measurement, Analysis, Engineering, and
Visualization
for IP Networks
- Monitoring and control of (G-)MPLS networks
- Large-Scale Internet-based Attack Defense via Management
- Botnet Management or Being Managed by Botnet
- Management Issues for Intra-Inter-Domain Routing
