MONAMI 2012 - The 4th International ICST Conference on Mobile Networks And Management MONAMI 2012

MONAMI 2012 aims at bringing together top researchers, academics and
practitioners specializing in the area of Mobile Network Management,
Service Management, Virtualization and Object Management.
Multiaccess and resource management, mobility management, and network
management have emerged as core topics in the design, deployment and
operation of current and future networks. Yet, they are treated as
separate, isolated domains with very little interaction between the
experts in these fields and lack cross-pollination. MONAMI 2012 offers the
opportunity to leading researchers, industry professionals and academics
around the world to meet and discuss the latest advances in these areas and
present results related to technologies for true plug-and-play networking,
efficient use of all infrastructure investments, and access competition.
The aim of the forum is to disseminate the latest innovative mobile network
solutions for increased competition and cooperation in an environment with
a multitude of access technologies, network operators and business actors.
CALL FOR PAPERS

MONAMI 2012 invites researchers to submit papers within the scope of the
conferencethat follow either evolutionary approaches based on current
IP-centered architectures or introduce revolutionary approaches and new
paradigms. Papers reporting experimental and empirical studies as well as
implementation/industry results (including testbeds and field trials) are
also welcome.
Topics of particular interest include:
- Multiaccess networks and resource management
- Future Internet architectures for mobile network management
- Energy efficiency for multiaccess networks
- Emerging & visionary multimedia services, service enablers & management
- IEEE and 3GPP management standards and enabling technologies
- Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluations
- Service and application management platforms
- Autonomic network monitoring and management
- Architecture and design of new services with smart objects
- Security solutions for managed and infrastructureless networks
- Management of wireless cognitive networks
- Mobile network management and virtualization
Papers accompanied by a live demonstration at the conference are
actively solicited.
MONAMI 2012 is sponsored by ICST in partnership with the Technical
University of Hamburg-Harburg. The conference is technically co-sponsored
by Create-Net and is organized in assosiation with the European Alliance
for Innovation.
The conference proceedings will by published by Springer-Verlag in the
LNICST series, and will be archived online on SpringerLink.
*Paper Submission*
We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting
original research that has not been previously published, and is not
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should
not exceed 14 pages in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST)
format and must be submitted by *22 April 2011*. LNICST templates are
available from www.springer.com/computer?**SGWID=0-146-6-564009-0<http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-564...>
.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent
reviewers, including a TPC member to ensure high quality and relevance
to the topics of the conference. All accepted papers will be published
in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST series and then be included in
major article indexing services.
*Important Dates*
Paper Submission Deadline: 22 April 2012
Notification of Acceptance: 17 June 2012
Camera Ready Deadline: 15 July 2012
Conference Date: 24-26 September 2012
CALL FOR TUTORIALS

We invite perspective tutorial speakers to submit relevant proposals for a
half-day tutorial. The scope of the tutorial proposal should be within the
interest of MONAMI attendees (see Aim and Scope and topics of interest). In
addition, tutorial proposals on related and complementary topics, e.g.
mobile devices or applications, smart grids or alternative energy supply
are welcome. Each tutorial proposal should include the title, objectives,
abstract, outline, and indented audience. A short biography of each
tutorial presenter should also be submitted along with the list of
conferences/events that this tutorial has been previously presented.
Tutorial speakers will be compensated as per standard ICST guidelines.
Please submit your proposal in electronic form to the Tutorials Chair at
tutorials_monami-AT-tlmat.unican.**es by 22
April 2012.
