</tt><tt>The 12th International Conference on Network and Service
Management </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>(CNSM) is inviting authors to submit original
contributions in </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>the network and service management research area.
CNSM 2016 is </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>a selective single-track conference, covering all
aspects of the </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>management of networks and services, pervasive systems,
enterprises, </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>and cloud computing environments. The core track is
accompanied </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>by a series of workshops and poster sessions. CNSM is
technically </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>co-sponsored by IFIP WG 6.6 and IEEE Communications
Society, and </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>organized in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM. </tt><tt><br>

published open </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>access on the conference Web site (with IFIP copyright)
and will be </tt><tt><br>

Libraries. Authors </tt><tt><br>
