Preface It is a great pleasure to present the proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Network-Embedded Management and Applications, NEMA. NEMA was held on October 28, 2010, in Niagara Falls, Canada, in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM), the former Manweek. It was technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and by IFIP. The goal of NEMA was to bring together researchers and scientists from industry and academia to share views and ideas and present their results regarding management (and other) applications that are embedded inside the network, as opposed to merely attached to a network. It is the first workshop dedicated to this particular topic. The workshop’s Web site can be accessed at http://nema.networkembedded.org/, where also future editions will be announced. The motivation behind NEMA is the general trend of modern network devices to become increasingly “intelligent” and programmable. Examples range from router scripting environments to fully programmable server blades. As a result, networked applications are no longer constrained just to servers that are interconnected via a network, but can migrate into and become embedded within the network itself. This promises to accelerate the current trend towards systems that are increasingly autonomous and to a certain degree self-managing. There are several drivers behind this trend: Equipment vendors continue to add value to the network to counter commoditization pressures. Network and service providers desire to adapt and optimize networks ever more closely to their specific environment. The emergence of cloud in the data center context has pr
