Call for Technical Session Papers

The IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2025) will be held from May 12-16, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. With the theme "Managing the Wave to Global Connectivity", NOMS 2025 continues a tradition of being the IEEE Communications Society's primary forum for technical exchange on network and service management, focusing on research, development, integration, standards, service provisioning, and user communities. NOMS 2025 seeks contributions presenting recent developments and technical solutions for dealing with the management of various networks and services.
