The Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS) is the premier conference on network operations and management in the Asia-Pacific region. APNOMS is sponsored by IEICE Technical Committee on Information and Communication Management (ICM) and the KICS Technical Committee on Korean Network Operations and Management (KNOM). It is supported by the IEEE Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM), TeleManagement Forum (TMF) and IEEE Asia-Pacific Board (APB) and IEEE Cloud Computing (IEEE Cloud Computing). APNOMS meets every year, typically during September and boasts a rich history of successes. It includes a full three-day program of keynotes, tutorials, technical sessions, panel discussions, poster sessions, and exhibits that focus on managing networks that span the computing and telecommunications areas. Since 1997, APNOMS has provided a forum for the research, standards, development, systems integrator, vendor and user communities in network operations and management.
