The 17th International Conference on Network and Service
Management <br>
(CNSM) is inviting authors to submit original contributions
in the <br>
area of network and service management research. CNSM 2021
is a <br>
selective single-track conference, covering all aspects
of the <br>
management of networks and services, pervasive systems,
enterprises, <br>
and cloud computing environments. The core track will be
accompanied <br>
by a series of workshops and poster sessions. <br>
<br>
Papers accepted and presented at CNSM 2021 will be published
as open <br>
access on the conference website (with IFIP copyright), and
will be <br>
submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors of selected
papers, <br>
accepted for publication in the CNSM 2021 proceedings, will be
invited <br>
to submit an extended version of their papers to the IEEE
Transactions <br>
on Network and Service Management journal. <br>
