The  18th  IEEE/IFIP   Network  Operations  and  Management  Symposium
(NOMS 2022) will be held on  25-29 April  2022  in Budapest,  Hungary.
Held in even-numbered  years since 1988, NOMS 2022 will  follow the 34
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.
The theme of NOMS 2022 is Management  in the Age of Softwarization and
Artificial Intelligence. It  aims to capture  recent results, emerging
approaches and technical solutions  for dealing with the management of
Fixed  and  Mobile  Networks  and  Services, Clouds, and Vertical Eco-
Systems  (e.g., smart  cities  and  smart  transportations). NOMS 2022
will offer various types of sessions: keynotes, technical, experience,
demo,  tutorial,  poster, panel,  and dissertation. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following:
