7th International Conference on Network and Service Management
CNSM 2011
24-28 October 2011, Paris, France
http://www.cnsm2011.org

Born from the highly successful MANWEEK series of events, CNSM is the
premier annual conference in the general area of network and services
management. It provides a forum for presenting and discussing the latest
innovations, results and developments in managing networks, pervasive
systems, enterprise and cloud environments. It is a single track,
highly-selective conference attended by foremost experts in this area from
academia, industry and government. In addition to the main conference, the
programme also comprises several workshops for more focussed discussions.
Network and service management is a broad area ranging from management of
body area networks and sensor systems to large scale enterprise and cloud
environments and addressing issues that range from fault management and
resilience to performance optimisation, self-management, visualization and
multi-media. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
