NOMS 2014 will be next year's IEEE flagship conference in the area of
management of networked systems and services. The symposium will include
an Experience Session program. Experience Sessions complement the
Technical Sessions with contributions that emphasize practical
experiences and lessons learnt in applying, implementing, and deploying
management technology. They will focus on aspects such as real-world
deployment scenarios, experiences with the management of new services
and technology, industrial applications of management technology,
implementation experiences, and organizational considerations.
Experience sessions are particularly aimed at decision makers and
experts from industry.
New this year and for the first time at NOMS, the best Experience Paper
will be recognized with an award.
