More recently, requirements in network management and control have been amended by emerging network and computing models, including wireless sensor networks, ad hoc networks, overlay networks, Grid networks, optical networks, multimedia networks, storage networks, the convergence of next generation networks (NGN) or even nanonetworks etc. Increasingly ubiquitous network environments require new management strategies, which can cope with resource constraints, multi-federated operations, scalability, dependability, context awareness, security, mobility and probability etc. To bring complex network systems under control, it is necessary for the IT industry to move to autonomic management, context-aware management and self-management systems in which technology itself is used to manage technology. New theoretical approaches are needed in resolving the challenging problems in network management. This workshop will provide a forum to researchers to propose theories and techniques on the management of emerging networks, share their experience of IT and telecommunications industries and discuss future management solutions for emerging networks.
