The 19th International Conference on Network and Service Management 
(CNSM) is inviting authors to submit original contributions in network 
and service management research. CNSM is a selective single-track 
conference, covering all aspects of the management of networks and 
services, pervasive systems, enterprises, and cloud computing 
environments. In particular, CNSM 2023 will focus on advancing network 
and service management in the era of generative AI and digital twins for 
improved performance, security and dependability.

Papers accepted and presented at CNSM 2023 will be published as open 
access on the conference website and will be submitted for possible 
publication in IEEE Xplore. Authors of selected papers accepted for 
publication in the CNSM 2023 proceedings will be invited to submit an 
extended version of their papers to the IEEE Transactions on Network and 
Service Management journal.
