The Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS) is the premier conference on network operations and management in the Asia-Pacific region. APNOMS meets every year, typically during September or September, and boasts a rich history of successes. It includes a full three-day program of keynotes, tutorials, technical sessions, panel discussions, poster sessions, and exhibits that focus on managing networks that span the computing and telecommunications areas. APNOMS 2017 will encourage open discussions on technology alternatives that focus on the management and operation of current and future networks and services.

Technical Session: Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers in English, which are not under review in any other conferences or journals. Submission should be in form of a PDF file of a minimum of three (3) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages, prepared in accordance with IEEE author guidelines. All accepted and presented papers in the conference are expected to be included in the proceedings of the conference as well as IEEE Xplore Digital Library (pending), and will be indexed by EI and other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The copyright of accepted papers will be transferred to IEEE. A submitted paper may be accepted as a short paper (to be presented in a poster session). NOTE: To be published in the proceedings, for each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register for the conference at the full rate and the paper must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Remote presentation (e.g. Skype) is not permitted without an unavoidable reason such as a natural disaster.

Innovation Session: APNOMS 2017 will include innovation sessions to present and discuss ongoing research, work-in-progress ideas, practical solutions, and experimental studies. Authors are requested to submit PDF documents in a special format (should have a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half, and must not exceed twenty (20) annotated visuals including title and references). Innovation papers will be included in conference proceedings but will NOT be submitted to any A&I databases. The copyright of accepted papers will belong to the author(s). The author(s) may transfer the copyright to a journal publisher if the same content or its extended version is submitted separately to a journal.
