The Eleventh Annual IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on "Distributed
Systems: Operations and Management" (DSOM 2000) will be hosted by the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of
Texas at Austin. DSOM 2000 is sponsored by IFIP Working Group 6.6 with
technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society. DSOM 2000
follows a series of highly successful meetings, the latest of which took
place in Zurich, Switzerland (DSOM'99), Delaware, USA (DSOM'98), and
Sydney, Australia (DSOM'97). The DSOM workshops focus on the latest
advancements in operations and management in networked environments and
discuss the impact of emerging computing and networking technologies on
management. Of specific interest to DSOM 2000 will be the current
developments in the field of services management in intelligent networks.
The workshop will be limited to approximately 100 participants and will
follow a single track program in order to allow for in-depth discussions
and interaction among workshop participants. The workshop proceedings will
be published by the IEEE.
