"INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM"
See http://www.comsoc.org/confs/im/2001 for latest information
The Seventh IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network
Management (IM 2001) will be held on 14-18 May 2001 in Seattle, Washington,
USA. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Network Management for
Communication Networks, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical
Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). IM (tm) and the
Network Operations and Management Symposia (NOMS) are the premier technical
conferences in the area of network and systems management, operations and
control.
IM 2001 will build upon the successes of IM and NOMS each year since 1988,
in serving as the primary forum for technical exchange for the research,
standards, development, systems integrator, vendor and user communities in
the area of network and distributed systems management, operations and
control.
At the dawn of the new millennium, the ubiquitous explosion of the Internet
and the fast proliferation of networked devices and business applications
create a unique challenge for the network management community. Innovative
solutions are required for managing the sheer numbers of devices and the
complexity of applications. Further, new ways of strategic thinking must be
incorporated in future management products and services to ensure a smooth
transition to the new networked society. Management in this new information
era will need to support the integration of data and telecommunications
networks, from narrowband to broadband, terrestrial to satellite, fixed to
mobile and uni-media to multi-media. The IM 2001 conference provides a
forum for discussion of new paradigms and architectures (or new spins on
old ones) that can deal with the many management issues related to these
next-generation networks.
This symposium, along with NOMS, is the premier annual event where the
latest research and industrial solutions for integrated management of
networks and distributed systems are presented in technical sessions,
tutorials, and vendor exhibits. IM 2001 introduces a new track of
industrial experience to permit the sharing of the lessons learnt from case
studies by the user or vendor community.
The IM 2001 symposium will provide the highest quality professional event
of the year through active participation on the Program Committee of many
of the most respected people in the fields of network and distributed
systems management, and a stringent review process.
TECHNICAL PROGRAM

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Papers are to be submitted in English.
The cover page should indicate whether it is a research or experiences
paper; and include paper title, abstract, list of key-words indicating the
paper topic area (preferably from the above list), author(s) full name(s),
affiliation(s) and complete address(es), telephone number(s) and electronic
mail address(es).
All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three
international experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure
high quality. The authors of accepted papers will receive the suggested
modifications for inclusion in the widely distributed, hard-bound Symposium
Proceedings published by IEEE. The final camera-ready copy should be no
longer than 14 single-spaced pages. Final papers arriving too late will be
removed from the program. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee
that their paper will be presented at the symposium.
ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION IS MANDATORY. Authors are requested to submit papers
in PDF (preferred) or postscript format via the web (see
http://www.comsoc.org/confs/im/2001 for instructions) or by email to
<im01-submit@eim.surrey.ac.uk>.
For ALL submissions the cover page of the paper should be submitted using
the available on-line form if the paper is submitted via the web, or in
plain text format (ASCII) if the paper is submitted by e-mail.

High quality papers will be published in the proceedings and the papers
will be presented in a technical session. Authors of open-source management

process may also participate in the open source corner; proposals to
participate should be submitted to the Open Source Chair:

VENDOR PROGRAM
--------------
The Symposium offers vendors the opportunity to demonstrate their network
and systems management products to leaders and innovators from around the
world. Various levels of participation are available. As a Symposia Patron,
you can present your products and services in our vendor showcase.
Symposia Patrons will also have an opportunity to make a product-related
presentation on recent technical advancements, product enhancements, or
corporate directions. The vendor showcase will be open during the three
days of the symposium, in parallel with other sessions. For IM '01 we are
adding a lower cost vendor participation level designed for smaller
companies with innovative technologies. Cost will be saved through time-
shared demonstration facilities and displays.
Vendors interested in becoming Symposium Sponsors or participating in the
showcase should contact the Vendor Chair:

A limited number of stipends will be available to those unable to obtain
funding to attend the conference. Students whose papers are accepted and
who will present the paper themselves are encouraged to apply if such
assistance is needed. Requests for stipends should be addressed to the
