ONIT 2011 – submission deadline on March, 1st 2011
3rd International IEEE Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbeds (ONIT) 2011 "Next Generation Network Evolution Towards the Future Internet" Co-Located with the 35th Annual IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2011). July 18-22th, 2011, Munich, Germany www.onit-ws.org CALL FOR PAPERS (http://www.onit-ws.org/docs/ONIT-CfP-2011.pdf) The demand for higher data rates in fixed and mobile networks is continuously growing. A higher density of the overall wireless network coverage emerges from the maintenance of current 2G and 3G technologies and parallel deployment of the new 4G technology, namely Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) as well as wireless LAN hotspots. The combination of the pure packet switched LTE radio and EPC requires interoperability with classic circuit switched 2G/3G mobile telecommunication core networks, to ensure seamless service usage enabled through IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) with VoLTE or other data services. The 3rd International IEEE Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbeds 2011 (ONIT 2011) will give insights into the state-of-the-art technologies concerning open Next Generation Fixed and Mobile Broadband Packet Core Networks and Testbeds at an international scale. The objective is to evaluate and share the experience on the quality and impact of such Testbeds in order to improve current offerings and position them for future challenges. Therefore methodologies, mechanisms, concepts and research results, which address the design, deployment, prototyping and evaluation of Next Generation Fixed and Mobile Broadband Packet Core Networks (NGN), their evolution towards Future Internet (FI) and related application domains are target. Recently, the research community and industry have been aware of the above weakness and much work has been ongoing. In this workshop we wish to bring together researchers and practitioners to share research results, advances and practical experiences under the banner of “Next Generation Network Evolution Towards Future Internet”. The workshop will act as a forum for active discussion, idea stimulation and communication. #Topic areas The specific topics of the conference include, but are not limited to #Fixed and Radio Access Networks - Long-Term-Evolution (LTE) - Sensor, GSM, UMTS, HSPA and WiMAX, Wireless LAN technologies - Core Network Evolution - Fixed Broadband Access Networks - Future Access Networks #Open Source IMS/NGN/Mobile Broadband Network Components Development - Open Source software as a driver for cost efficient testbeds - Using and enhancing Open Source software in a telecom environment - Solving Common-IMS convergence issues with open source components and testbeds - Interoperability and Standardization - Security and Management Aspects #Over-the-top (OTT) applications - Voice over LTE (Volte), IMS Centralized Services (ICS) - Telco Web services and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) - Web TV versus Internet TV and P2P video streaming - Mobile Applications - Future Applications - Service Control Mechanisms #Next Generation Networks to Future Internet - Cross Layer Composition and Future Internet Core Networks - Future Fixed and Mobile Core Networks Concepts - Next generation transport - New architectures (evolutionary vs. clean slate) - Virtual and overlay networks #Submission guidelines Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers as well as industrial practice papers. Simultaneous submissions to other publication venues are not permitted. Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission and review process can be found at http://www.compsac.org/. The length of the camera-ready accepted papers will be limited to 10 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages, and printed with 10-12 point fonts. All accepted papers will be published in the electronic proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, indexed through INSPEC and EI Index and automatically included in the IEEE digital library. #Important Dates Paper submission: March, 1st 2011 Author notification: April, 8th 2011 Camera-Ready version: May, 2nd 2011 Workshop program: May 18th, 2011 Workshop date: July 18-22, 2011 #Workshop organization -Workshop Chair Julius Mueller (TU Berlin, Germany) Rebecca Copeland (Huawei, Europe) -Steering Committee Thomas Magedanz (TU Berlin/Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany) -Publicity Chair Carlos Becker Westphall (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil) -Program Committee Supavadee Aramvith (Chulalongkorn University, Thailand) Mohamed Riduan Abid (Alakhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco) Adel Al-Hezmi (QUWIK, Qatar) Hendrik Berndt (DOCOMO, Germany) Wolfgang Brandstätter (A1 Telekom Austria, Austria) Noel Crespi (Telecom SudParis, France) Spyros Denazis (University of Patras, Greece) Yezid Donoso (Bogotá, Colombia, South America) Hans Einsiedler (Deutsche Telekom AG, Germany) Roch H.
