IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2024) will be held May 6-10, 2024 in Seoul, Korea. First organized in 1988, NOMS 2024 follows the 36 years tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary IEEE Communications Society’s forum for technical exchange on network and service operations and management, focusing on research, development, integration, standards, service provisioning, and user communities. The theme of NOMS 2024 is “Towards intelligent, reliable, and sustainable network and service management.” NOMS 2024 will offer various types of sessions, including keynotes, technical, experience, poster, panel, tutorial and PhD dissertation. High quality is assured through a well-qualified Technical Program Committee (TPC) and stringent peer review of paper submissions. Papers can be submitted as full or short technical session papers, experience session papers, and dissertation papers. In addition, we invite proposals for demonstrations, exhibitions, panels, tutorials, and workshops. Please be advised that NOMS 2024 will be an in-person only event, and virtual presentation or attendance will not be available.
