URL: http://qualis.ic.ufmt.br Description: The Brazilian ranking (CAPES QUALIS) for conferences and journals classifies all the areas, including computer science. This ranking classifies events in seven levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5. Currently the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium is classified as A2. Further this, NOMS is also listed in the guide2research ¡ https://www.guide2research.com/topconf/network-communication ¿ in the position 432. Rank: A2 Conferences in area: IM, NOMS, and CNSM are the three major ”symposiums” in the area of network and service management. Some aspects were are in events like IEEE Infocom, ACM SIGCOMM, IEEE GLOBECOM though their scope is larger. Regarding publication of related papers, the following events should be then considered: 1. ACM SIGCOMM 2. IEEE Infocom 3. IEEE GLOBECOM 4. IFIP/IEEE IM (Integrated Management) 5. CNSM (Network and Service Management) 6. IFIP Networking 7. IEEE ISCC 8. IEE ICC 9. IEEE NetSoft 10.

Comparator Comparison

Comparator

Network and Operating System Support for Digital Audio and Video Explanation as to why conference is superior to comparator: The NOSSDAV event receives less submissions (40 per year max.) and has a higher acceptance ratio (around 38-42%). The program committee members publish less often in the NOSSDAV event and there seems to be a community of top people (with high H-indices and IEEE Fellows) behind our community, which seems to be less the case for NOSSDAV. Link to comparator report: http://portal.core.edu.au/core/media/conference_submission_2020/Data_Comparator_for_1508_604.pdf

Comparator

IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks Explanation as to why conference is superior to comparator: The WoWMoM event receives less submissions (around 70 per year) and has a higher acceptance ratio (around 28-29%). The program committee members publish less often in the WoWMoM event and there seems to be a community of top people (with high H-indices and IEEE Fellows) behind our community, which seems to be less the case for WoWMoM. Link to comparator report: http://portal.core.edu.au/core/media/conference_submission_2020/Data_Comparator_for_1508_607.pdf

Other Relvant Info

Other relevant information: The IM (also being submitted for CORE ranking) and NOMS symposiums are twin-sister events that take place alternatively every year: IM on odd-numbered years, NOMS on even-numbered years. Consequently, the WPP 5-year analysis only takes into account 3 editions of these events on the time period (instead of 5 editions for the other events)
