NOMS 2016 - 15th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2016)

The 15th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2016) will be held 25-29 April 2016 at İstanbul Technical University, Süleyman Demirel Kültür Merkezi, Istanbul, Turkey. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2016 will follow the 28 years tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary IEEE Communications Society's forum for technical exchange on management of information and communication technology focusing on research, development, integration, standards, service provisioning, and user communities. NOMS 2016 will focus on the theme "Managing Everything toward a Secure, Smart, and Hyperconnected World", presenting recent, emerging approaches, and technical solutions for dealing with future network and ICT infrastructures, as well as with novel services provided in smart and hyperconnected environments (e.g., smart cities, Internet of Things).

Submission Guidelines
Papers should be registered and submitted through JEMS.
Papers should be written in English, using the IEEE 2-column format, in PDF, limit of pages is 8 and 4 pages for short papers.
Only original papers, neither published before nor submitted for publication elsewhere, can be submitted.
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three referees to assure a high quality technical program.
Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore®.
IEEE and IEEE Communications Society Policies
To ensure appropriate consideration of conflicts of interest during the review process, the ComSoc prohibits changes to the list of authors once a paper has been submitted for review during review, revision, or (if accepted) final publication. The author list may be changed only prior to the submission deadline.
To be published in the IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2016 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter.
Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the /IFIP NOMS 2016 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.
