The conference will be held Monday, May 07 through Friday, May 11, 2012 in the IBM Lab in Boeblingen, Germany. Conference language will be English.

This conference addresses the needs of System, Network and Automation Administrators. Sessions are presented by representatives from IBM software development teams and you, the product exploiters. Interaction and feedback is both expected and encouraged.

Topics cover a range of IBM system management products, mainly IBM Tivoli System Automation Family and IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS. Other topics might be GDPS, OMEGAMON, z/OS Automation Infrastructure, TWS and the IBM Tivoli Systems Management strategy. Additionally there are workshops offered that will be held in parallel to the main tent sessions.

The focus is on the mainframe environment but extends out into the enterprise, e.g. System Automation for Multiplatforms or System Automation Application Manager. A separate track for sessions of the distributed products set is also available. Discussions can include product futures and requirements.
