Conference: 31 October - 4 November 2022
The 18th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) is inviting authors to submit original contributions in network and service management research. CNSM 2022 is a selective single-track conference, covering all aspects of the management of networks and services, pervasive systems, enterprises, and cloud computing environments. CNSM 2022 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, IFIP, and ACM’s in-Cooperation support.
CNSM 2022 will focus on the theme "Intelligent Management of Disruptive Network Technologies and Services". The core track will be accompanied by a series of workshop and poster sessions.
Papers accepted and presented at CNSM 2022 will be published as open access on the conference website and will be submitted to the IFIP Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. Authors of selected papers accepted for publication in the CNSM 2022 proceedings will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management journal.

Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 9 pages including references (full papers) or 5 pages including references (short papers). They have to be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS.
Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will get a thorough single-blind review process, followed by a rebuttal phase.
