  The 10th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS 2007) will be held in Sapporo, Japan from October 10 to 12, 2007. The theme of the symposium is “Managing Next Generation Networks and Services.” Recently, various convergences in wired and wireless networks, and convergence of telecommunications and broadcastings are taking place for ubiquitous multimedia service provisioning. For example, broadband IP/MPLS wired networks are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN, 3G/4G wireless cellular networks, and direct multimedia broadcast (DMB) network. For efficient support of service provisioning for ubiquitous multimedia services on the broadband convergence networks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with QoS-guaranteed traffic engineering are essential. 

  Sapporo is the biggest city in northern Japan. You can easily reach there by frequent direct flight from major cities in Korea or via Haneda, Narita and Kansai International Airports from most international major cities. Sapporo has a lot of beautiful natures. Especially, Lake Toya, where Summit meeting will be held in 2008, will add joyous memories to those who visit.
