IM 2007 will include an Application Session program. Application Sessions aim to complement the Technical Sessions with contributions that emphasize practical experiences and lessons learnt in conjunction with management technology. They will focus on aspects such as real-world deployment scenarios, experiences with the management of new services and technology, industrial applications of management technology, implementation examples of new management technology, organizational impact, and business cases. The intended audience especially includes decision makers and experts from industry.
Papers for the Application Sessions should be written in English. The paper format will be one of annotated slides - papers should have a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half. Paper submissions should consist of no more than 15 annotated visuals in PDF only. Detailed author instructions are available on the author information page on the conference web site. Further questions related to the application session should be addressed to appsessions@im2007.org or directly to the application sessions co-chairs:

Alexander Clemm, Cisco Systems, USA
Bernhard Neumair, GWDG, Germany

Note: Please use this link or the link in the head section to submit application session papers ONLY. Application session paper submissions and technical paper submissions will be handled differently, hence misdirected papers stand at risk of not being considered.
