AIM AND SCOPE<br>
-------------<br>
<br>
MONAMI 2011 aims at bringing together top researchers, academics
and<br>
practitioners specializing in the area of Mobile Network
Management (MNM)<br>
and Service Management.<br>
<br>
Multiaccess and resource management, mobility management, and
network <br>
management have emerged as core topics in the design, deployment
and<br>
operation of current and future networks. Yet, they are treated as<br>
separate, isolated domains with very little interaction between
the experts<br>
in these fields and lack cross-pollination. MONAMI 2011 offers the<br>
opportunity to leading researchers, industry professionals and
academics<br>
around the world to meet and discuss the latest advances in these
areas<br>
and present results related to technologies for true plug-and-play<br>
networking, efficient use of all infrastructure investments, and
access<br>
competition. The aim of the forum is to disseminate the latest
innovative<br>
mobile network solutions for increased competition and cooperation
in an<br>
environment with a multitude of access technologies, network
operators and<br>
business actors.<br>
<br>
MONAMI 2011 invites researchers to submit papers that follow
either<br>
evolutionary approaches based on current IP-centered architectures
or<br>
introduce revolutionary MNM approaches and new paradigms. Papers
reporting<br>
experimental and empirical studies as well as
implementation/industry results<br>
(including testbeds and field trials) are also welcome.<br>
<br>
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:<br>
<br>
- Multiaccess networks and resource management<br>
- Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluations<br>
- Energy efficiency for multiaccess networks<br>
- Future Internet architectures for Mobile Network Management<br>
- Management standards and enabling technologies, including<br>
IEEE 802.21 and ANDSF<br>
- Emerging and visionary multimedia services, service enablers<br>
and management<br>
- Management of wireless cognitive networks<br>
- Service and application management platforms<br>
- Architecture and design of new services with smart objects<br>
- Cognitive access and protocol design for interference
management<br>
- Autonomic routing and forwarding<br>
- Autonomic network monitoring<br>
- Scalability and stability in Autonomic networks<br>
- Security solutions for managed and infrastructureless
networks<br>
- Virtualization of multiaccess networks<br>
<br>
Papers accompanied by a live demonstration at the conference are
actively<br>
solicited.<br>
<br>
<br>
PAPER SUBMISSION<br>
----------------<br>
We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers
reporting original<br>
material that has not been previously published, and is not
currently<br>
submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should not
exceed 15<br>
pages in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) format and
must be<br>
submitted by *15 April 2011*. LNICST templates are available from<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three
independent<br>
reviewers, including a TPC member to ensure high quality and
relevance to<br>
the topics of the Conference. All accepted papers will be
published in the<br>
Springer Lecture Notes of ICST series and then be included in
major article<br>
indexing services.<br>
