  The 9th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS 2006) will be held in Busan Korea from September 27 to 29, 2006. The theme of APNOMS 2006 is ¡°Management of Convergence 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. APNOMS 2006 will provide excellent opportunities for researchers, engineers, network planners, service providers and network operators in telecommunications to learn and share ideas, views, technologies and experiences on network/service operations and management.
  Busan is the second biggest city and the number 1 trading port in Korea, and the recent APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) had been hosted. You can easily reach there by frequent direct flight from major cities in Japan or via Incheon International Airport from most international major cities. As a port city, Busan has numerous culturally attractive tourism resources, including the temple (e.g., Tongdosa) as a national treasure, characteristic and distinctive enough not to be found in any other city in the world. Its scenic coastal areas and clean sandy beaches located near the symposium venue will add joyous memories to those who visit.
