Aim
of the conference
Today, the trend
is towards providing telecommunications services and in
particular multimedia services in the emerging broadband,
multimedia and "super-highway" era. To offer reliable
multimedia services, the service architecture should integrate
the service with its management while the multimedia networks
that are used to provide those services need also a certain level
of control and management. Therefore management is
Requested at both
the service and network levels. Integration is also of paramount
importance to facilitate the overall management process. The
second International Conference on Management of Multimedia
Networks and Services follows the successful MMNS conference held
in 1997 in Montreal (Canada). The conference objective is to
bring together researchers working in all facets of network and
service management applied to broadband networks and multimedia
services. The conference will serve as a forum for the
dissemination of state-of-the-art research, design, development,
and implementation experiences.
