CALL FOR PANELS

We are seeking proposals for expert discussion panels to stimulate and
inform the audience as to the current "hot topics" within network
management. An ideal panel will bring the audience into a discussion
prompted by position statements from the panel members, taking account
of both academic and industrial viewpoints. We are interested in
panels on all aspects of network management, especially those related
to the theme of energy awareness and those discussing the wider
aspects of networks and network management. This would include the
following topics, amongst others:
 

• Multi-transport and multi-media networks
• Network adaptation and optimisation
• Co-managing performance and energy
• The uses and abuses of sensor networks
• The science of service design and implementation
• Programming network management strategies
• Tools and techniques for network management
• Socio-technical integration of networks
• Energy-efficiency vs equality of access
• Network-aware cloud computing
• The future of autonomic management
• Coping with data obesity
• Managing the next-generation internet

 

How to propose a panel:

Please send a brief (1-page) proposal to the panel chairs, Simon
Dobson (sd@cs.st-andrews.ac.uk) and Gerard Parr
(gp.parr@ulster.ac.uk). Your proposal should indicate the relevance of
the panel to the broad audience of IM, and include the names of
proposed panel members.

Submission of panel proposals: 20 October 2010
