Call for Dissertation Papers

The IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2014 technical program will include Dissertation Paper sessions. The goal is to provide Ph.D. students in the area of Network and Service management the opportunity to present their Ph.D. work to the wider NOMS audience and to give out an award for the best work. The assessment criteria for the award include the relevance of the work for network and service management, the potential of the thesis results for future engineering practice, the novelty and contribution of the work, as well as the quality of publications and software produced as part of the thesis.
