CNSM 2018 - 2018 International Conference on Network and Service Management

The 14th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) is inviting authors to submit original contributions in the network and service management research area. CNSM 2018 is a selective single-track conference, covering all aspects of the management of networks and services, pervasive systems, enterprises, and cloud computing environments. The core track is accompanied by a series of workshops and poster sessions.
Papers accepted and presented at CNSM 2018 will be published open access on the conference Web site (with IFIP copyright) and will be submitted for possible inclusion in IEEE Xplore, ACM and IFIP Digital Libraries. Authors of selected papers acceptedfor publication in CNSM 2018 proceedings will be invited to submit anextended version of their papers to the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management journal.

Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 8 pages excluding references (full papers) or 4 pages excluding references (short papers). They have to be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS. Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process, followed by a rebuttal phase.
