　　September 23-25 2009, Jeju Island, Korea

　　In these days, various convergences in wired and wireless networks, and
　　convergence of telecommunications and broadcastings are taking place
　　widely for ubiquitous multimedia service provisioning. As an example,
　　broadband IP networks are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e wireless
　　LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN, 3G/4G wireless cellular networks, and
　　broadcasting networks. For efficient support of service provisioning for
　　ubiquitous multimedia services on the broadband convergence networks,
　　well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions
　　with QoS-guaranteed traffic engineering are not essential, but crucial. In
　　APNOMS 2009, the topics of interest include, but not limited to, network &
　　service management for broadband convergence networks, business operations
　　& management, service-oriented managements (e.g., SLA/SLS, security,
　　billing), management architecture and technologies, configuration & fault
　　management for broadband converged networks, recent standardization
　　activities, and various experiences & practices:

　　Paper Submission:
　　Both technical and innovation session papers must be submitted via online,
　　through JEMS (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/apnoms2009).
　　Please refer to the APNOMS 2009 homepage (http://www.apnoms.org/2009/) for
　　detailed paper preparation and submission instructions.

　　Technical Session:
　　The APNOMS 2009 proceedings of technical session papers will be published
　　in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series as done in APNOMS
　　2008. The technical papers published in the APNOMS 2009 proceedings will
　　be EI-indexed. Original and unpublished technical and innovation session
　　papers are solicited. All submitted papers should be written in English
　　and should not have been submitted for review elsewhere. Authors are
　　requested to submit PDF file of the 10-page, single-spaced LNCS-style
　　manuscripts for technical session papers. The LNCS guidelines can be
　　obtained at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. In addition,
　　authors of the best five APNOMS 2009 papers will be invited to submit
　　extended versions for possible publication in the special issue of Journal
　　of Network and Systems Management (JNSM) which is indexed in SCIE of
　　Thompson Scientific.

　　Innovation Session:
　　APNOMS 2009 will include innovation session to present and discuss ongoing
　　research, work-in-progress ideas, practical solutions, experimental
　　studies, and any topic of interest to the community. Innovation session
　　will be formed with short presentations including discussions and
　　feedbacks. Presenters are requested to submit PDF file of the 8-page
　　visual/text format manuscripts. The sample file can be obtained at
　　http://www.apnoms.org/apnoms-sample.ppt.
