************************************************************************************

The  14th  IFIP/IEEE  International Symposium on Integrated  Network
Management (IM 2015) will  be  held 11-15 May  2015 in Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada and hosted by the Ottawa Convention Centre. Held in odd-numbered
 years  since 1989, IM  2015 follows the 27 years tradition of NOMS and
IM as the  primary IEEE Communications Society's forum  for   technical
  exchange  on    management of   information  and communication
technology   focusing   on    research, development, integration,
standards, service provisioning, and  user communities.  IM 2015 will
focus  on the theme   "Integrated Management in   the   Age   of  Big
Data"   presenting  recent, emerging approaches and technical  solutions
 for dealing with Big Data  as well as using  it  for  management
solutions.  IM 2015  will   offer five  types  of sessions: technical,
experience, poster,  panel and dissertation. High quality will be
assured through a  well qualified Technical  Program Committee  and
stringent  peer review of   paper  submissions.  A  special  call for
demonstrations is  organized
to  allow industry partners  and researchers  to demonstrate early
products and prototypes.
