Call for Dissertation Papers at IFIP/IEEE IM 2017

The 15th IEEE/IFIP International Symposium on Integrated Network 
Management (IM 2017) technical program will include Dissertation 
Sessions. The goal for those is to provide Ph.D. students in the area of 
Network and Service Management the opportunity to present their Ph.D. 
work to the wider IM audience. Authors who have completed or are 
expected to complete their thesis work in 2016 (or late 2015) are 
eligible for the Dissertation Sessions and respective paper submissions. 
All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore as other IM papers.

The IM 2017 Dissertation Committee will hand out a Best Dissertation 
Paper Award. The assessment criteria for the award include the relevance 
of the work for Network and Service Management, the potential of the 
thesis results for future engineering practice, the novelty and 
contribution of the work, and the quality of publications and software 
produced as part of the thesis.
Submission Guidelines

Eligible authors are invited to submit their work through the JEMS 
system. The dissertation session paper must contain the key points of 
the thesis, and the text structure follows that of a regular paper. It 
must be written in English, with at most 5 pages (excluding references), 
and formatted according to the IEEE double column style. The URL to the 
thesis text as well as the list of papers published in the course of the 
thesis work must be included in the reference section. Only PDF 
submissions will be accepted. The authors of the thesis paper will have 
to be the (ex-)student and his/her supervisor(s), thus, defining at most 
3 authors. The Dissertation Session Co-chairs may request evidence of 
the defense or the formal submission of the thesis.

Authors of accepted submissions are invited to present their paper in 
the Dissertation Sessions of IM 2017. As stated above, the Dissertation 
Session papers will be included in the IM 2017 proceedings and published 
by IEEE Xplore.
