The 15th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2017) will be held 8-­12 May 2017 in Lisbon, Portugal. Held in odd-­numbered years since 1989, IM 2017 follows the 29 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 2017 will focus on the theme Integrated Management in the Cloud and 5G Era presenting recent, emerging approaches and technical solutions for dealing with 5G and cloud infrastructures, as well as associated services and applications. Submissions addressing traditional network management challenges are also in the scope of the conference. IM 2017 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 rigorous peer review of papers. A special call for demonstrations is organized to allow industry partners and researchers to demonstrate early products and prototypes. TOPICS OF INTEREST
