The 6th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Network and Service Management 
(CNSM 2010) is a premier annual conference in the general area of network, 
systems, and services management.  Built upon the success starting in 2005 to 
collocate six management workshops within the same week (MANWEEK), this year we 
debut the single main conference with a single track. The integrated conference 
provides a unique opportunity to showcase both premier research results and 
innovative cross-disciplinary explorations. As an open forum, we encourage 
authors to explore new ideas and to boost the synergy among distinctive but 
strongly correlated areas.
