AIM AND SCOPE
-------------

MONAMI 2010 aims at bringing together top researchers, academics and
practitioners specializing in the area of Mobile Network Management (MNM)
and Service Management.

Multiaccess and resource management, mobility management, and network
management have emerged as core topics in the design, deployment and
operation of current and future networks. Yet, they are treated as
separate, isolated domains with very little interaction between the experts
in these fields and lack cross-pollination. MONAMI 2010 offers the
opportunity to leading researchers, industry professionals and academics
around the world to meet and discuss the latest advances in these areas
and present results related to technologies for true plug-and-play
networking, efficient use of all infrastructure investments, and access
competition. The aim of the forum is to disseminate the latest innovative
mobile network solutions for increased competition and cooperation in an
environment with a multitude of access technologies, network operators and
business actors.

MONAMI 2010 invites papers that follow either evolutionary approaches based
on current IP-centered architectures or introduce revolutionary MNM
approaches and new paradigms. Papers reporting experimental and empirical
studies as well as implementation/industry results (including testbeds and
field trials) are also welcome.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiaccess networks and resource management
- Energy efficiency for multiaccess networks
- Security solutions for managed and infrastructureless networks
- Emerging and visionary multimedia services, service enablers
and management
- Identity management for mobile users
- Multimedia services in mobile/multiaccess networks
- Business models and Economics for a mobile/multiaccess world
- Future Internet architectures for Mobile Network Management
- Autonomic computing and self-management
- Management standards and enabling technologies, including
IEEE 802.21
- Management of wireless cognitive networks
- Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluations
- Management of the Internet of the Things.
- Service and application management platforms.


PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------

We encourage submission of high-quality technical papers reporting original
material that is has not been previously published, or is not currently
submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should not exceed 12
pages in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) style and must be
submitted by 30 April 2010. Short papers of up to 8 pages, reporting most
current results, are also solicited. LNICST templates are available from
http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-564009-0.

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