The 6th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM<br>
2010) is a premier annual conference, sponsored by IEEE COMPSOC and IFIP,<br>
in the general area of network, systems, and services management. Built<br>
upon the success starting in 2005 to collocate six management workshops<br>
within the same week (MANWEEK), this year we debut the single main<br>
conference with a single track. The integrated conference provides a<br>
unique opportunity to showcase both premier research results and<br>
innovative cross-disciplinary explorations. As an open forum, we encourage<br>
authors to explore new ideas and to boost the synergy among distinctive<br>
but strongly correlated areas.<br>
