Welcome Message
The International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) – the offspring of MANWEEK (the six Management Workshops within the same Week) – has become a premier venue for the presentation of novel results and experience reports in all aspects of management of networks, pervasive systems, enterprise and cloud computing environments. CNSM 2012 takes place at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference is organized around a single track of paper presentations where fundamental research results are discussed. This core track is accompanied by series of workshops, tutorials, mini-conference and short papers sessions where more focused discussions and progress reports are presented. CNSM’2012 is the place for academic, government and industry researchers of the worldwide community to present, exchange and discuss the last contributions and achievements in all areas of Network and Service management.
CNSM aims at being a very selective and attractive conference. The Technical Program Committee has then selected the very best papers submitted to the CNSM review process. 15 out of the 97 submitted papers have been accepted for presentation in the main conference track. All submitted papers underwent a rigorous review process with a minimum of 3, but usually 4 reviews for each paper. TPC discussions took place on-line through the JEMS conference management system and in a TPC tele-conference.
The program also selected 15 papers to be presented in the mini-conference sessions and 30 short papers. All these papers underwent the same rigorous review process than the ones submitted to the main conference.
To enforce a high visibility level, the proceedings of CNSM’2012 are published by IFIP and the papers will be available both in IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Library.
The CNSM conference also includes 4 tutorials, 4 keynotes and a panel.
At this stage, we address our sincere thanks to the technical program committee members for their diligence and hard work during the reviewing process, as well as to the IFIP for accepting to be the CNSM conference series publisher.
We are also very thankful to Charles Kalmanek (AT&T labs), Nick Feamster (Georgia tech and University of Maryland), Deepak Bansal (Microsoft), and Dhruba Borthakur (Facebook) who accepted to give a keynote during the conference, as well as Pedro Casas (FTW), Dijang Huang (Arizona State University), David Breitgand (IBM), Danny Raz (Technion), Thomas Magedanz (TU Berlin), and Julius Mueller (TU Berlin) for accepting to give a tutorials during CNSM’2012.
The conference has been organized as a full-week event taking place at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and we are addressing our very sincere thanks to the organizers and patrons for their valuable help and support.
CNSM 2012 received technical co-sponsorship of IFIP, IEEE Communications Society, and Euro-NF. CNSM 2012 also received in-cooperation (INCOOP) agreement with ACM SIGCOMM. We thank them all.
We hope you will enjoy the program and look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas, Nevada!
