Welcome Message by General Chairs

 

Welcome to the 2020 IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2020) 20-24 April 2020. NOMS has been held in every even-numbered year since 1988. This is the 32th anniversary of NOMS; and it is marked by the finalization of Horizon 2020 efforts - celebrating European innovation. We warmly welcome you all to participate and celebrate the long and successful tradition of NOMS.

We are proud to continue our tradition with a number of exciting programs at NOMS 2020. We are sure you will enjoy our exciting program including keynotes, panels, technical sessions, demo sessions, dissertation session, mini-conference sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, and workshops. These events provide rich opportunities for participants to learn, share, exchange, and identify the current and future directions and developments of network operations and management key issues.

It’s been an excellent growth in recent years for the NOMS community. A lot of new and challenging research and developments have been on-going worldwide, including Artificial Intelligence, 5G networks, software defined infrastructures, open source networking, IoT, not to mention the 4th industrial revolution. We have set the main theme to “Management in the Age of Softwarization and Artificial Intelligence” for this year to emphasize the strong demands for softwarization, digitalization, as well as AI-driven management of the more and more complex network and service environments.

It has been an honor serving as the NOMS 2020 General Chairs. We would like to thank our volunteers, sponsors and partners for their dedication and support. We are very grateful to all of you for your continual support.

Sincerely,

Pal Varga, General Co-Chair
