                              LANOMS=B499

       IEEE Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium
               Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, December 03 - 04, 1999.

                   "NETWORK MANAGEMENT FOR THE NEW WORLD"

                              Call for Papers

The First Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium -
LANOMS, to be held in Rio de Janeiro on the turn of the millennium
is the result of the great success of the events in the area of
network management known as NOMS and APNOMS. NOMS (Network Operations
and Management Symposium) was originally created ten years ago in
New Orleans, USA, and nowadays constitutes a worldwide event for
the researches in the area of network management. Recently, the
Asia/Pacific community promoted the APNOMS (Asia-Pacific
Network Operations and Management Symposium), which is an event more
oriented to the research and development community in that continent.
Within this context, we will promote the first LANOMS
(http://www.lrg.ufsc.br/~lanoms99) in order to stimulate the
researches in Latin America. It is important to emphasize
that this event will be held in the same hotel and two days before the
GLOBECOM.

In the last few years, we have been witnessing an increasing demand on
topics associated with Network Management in national and international
events, organized mainly in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and =
Uruguay.
As a consequence, we observed in Latin America a solid necessity of a
specific event where there might be room to debate the main issues=20
involving the

area of Network Management. For obvious reasons, the organization of
LANOMS will be tuned with NOMS and APNOMS to even stimulate the =
participation
of the Latin American community in these events. As LANOMS derives from
NOMS, keeping its original characteristics, it will create a forum
which is more specific to the requirements of Latin America in the area
of Network Management involving telecommunication companies,
academic institutions, service providers and equipment vendors. Although
organized in Latin America, LANOMS will be opened to participants
(researchers, developers, investors, etc) from other continents
who are interested in having, or already have, research or commercial
liaisons in Latin America. The objectives of LANOMS include, but are not
limited to:

        * to satisfy an increasing necessity of organizing a specific
          event on network management in Latin America in order to
          divulge the researches currently developed;
        * to identify the problems and solutions specific to the area
          of network management;
        * to make viable the solutions proposed by the international
          community to Latin America and vice-versa; and
        * to expose the potentialities of the Network Management area;

Submissions should be complete, full-length papers and should not exceed
12 pages. Electronic submission of  papers is strongly encouraged. Full
instructions for the electronic submissions is available on the
LANOMS web page.
