****** CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ******

*Proposal Submission Deadline: 27 October 2025*

The IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2026) 
will be held in Rome, Italy, 22-28 May 2026. The conference will offer 
five full days of original paper presentations, tutorials, workshops, an 
industry program with keynotes and panels from prominent research, 
industry, and government leaders, as well as technical demonstrations 
and exhibits.

In addition to exciting technical symposia, tutorials, panels, and 
exhibitions, we solicit proposals for half-day or full-day workshops to 
be held on 18 May 2026 or 22 May 2026.

The aim of the workshops is to highlight emerging research areas, novel 
ideas, and innovative applications that are not specifically covered in 
the main technical program. Each workshop may include a mix of regular 
papers, invited talks, keynotes, and panel discussions to foster active 
interaction among attendees.

****** **WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORMAT ********

Each workshop proposal (maximum five pages) should concisely describe 
the content and objectives of the workshop and must include:
1) Title of the workshop.
2) Description of the technical issues covered, emphasizing the 
timeliness and relevance of the proposed topics not addressed by the 
main conference symposia (max. 1 page).
3) Workshop Organizers (names, affiliations, and contact information).
4) Short biographies of the organizers (up to 200 words each), 
highlighting experience in organizing workshops/conferences, 
particularly within IEEE/IFIP NOMS/IM or related venues.
5) List of potential participants, such as program committee members and 
invited speakers (confirmation of participation is a strong plus).
6) Planned format of the workshop, including: duration (half-day or 
full-day, tentative schedule); expected structure: refereed papers, 
invited talks, hot-topic sessions, keynotes, panels (with panel 
formats); and innovative and interactive workshop formats are especially 
encouraged.
7) Draft Call for Papers (CFP) (max. one page).
8) Publicity and promotion plan.

upon acceptance).
