Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE/IFIP/WG 6.9

The 6th Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium (LANOMS

2009) will be held on October 19th-21st, 2008 at the Conrad Resort & Casino in

Punta del Este, Uruguay. LANOMS 2009 will offer the latest technical advances

in all aspects of the operation and management of distributed infrastructures,

including networks, application services and distributed systems in general.

LANOMS has been held in odd-numbered years since 1999 and pursues the tradition

of the NOMS and APNOMS events.

LANOMS 2009 is promoted by the University of the Republic of Uruguay (UdelaR).

It aims to be the primary forum in Latin America for the exchange of ideas and

results among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the field

of operations and management. The symposium is co-sponsored by the

International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on

Management of Networks and Distributed Systems , and by the IEEE Communications

Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).

Several types of sessions will be held at LANOMS 2009.

Technical sessions will be held for the presentation of full scientific papers

discussing recent research results.

Poster sessions are directed for more informal interactions and presenting work

in progress. Short papers can be submitted for consideration as poster

presentations. Posters will be selected from these short papers and full

papers.

Application sessions aim to complement the Technical Sessions with

contributions that emphasize practical experiences and lessons learnt in

conjunction with management technology. They will focus on aspects such as

real-world deployment scenarios, experiences with the management of new

services and technology, industrial applications of management technology,

implementation examples of new management technology, organizational impact,

and business cases. The intended audience especially includes decision makers

and experts from industry.

Paper submissions will undergo a rigorous review process performed by the

Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the

field. We encourage the submission of papers that present new research results

or that present insightful results based on experience with the operation and

management of networks, systems, applications and services.The LANOMS 2009
