************************************************************************************

The 14th IFIP/IEEE Symposium on Integrated Network and Service
Management (IM 2015) will be held 11-15 May 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada and hosted by the Ottawa Convention Centre. Held in
odd-numbered years since 1989, IM 2015 follows the 27 years tradition
of NOMS and IM as the primary IEEE Communications Society's forum for
technical exchange on management of information and
communication technology focusing on research, development,
integration, standards, service provisioning, and user communities. IM
2015 will focus on the theme "Integrated Management in the Age
of Big Data" presenting recent, emerging approaches and technical
solutions for dealing with Big Data as well as
using it for management solutions. IM 2015 will offer five
types of sessions: technical, experience, poster, panel and
dissertation.

High quality will be assured through a well qualified Technical
Program Committee and stringent peer review of paper submissions. A
special call for demonstrations is organized to allow
industry partners and researchers to demonstrate early products and
prototypes.
