Applications of IP Telecommunications

(IPTComm 2011)

IP communications are evolving rapidly. Telephone and Network service

providers are turning to IP-based solutions for the delivery of voice,

image and video communications. Mobile operators are deploying all-IP

networks replacing the circuit switched technology with packet

switching based solutions.

With the transition towards IP there is also a shift in the way

services are provided. Service-oriented and resource-oriented

architectures have emerged and new methods have been developed to

compose complex services by specifying high level information and

processing flows between simple, basic components. IP communication

services are moving onto cloud computing infrastructures creating new

challenges for high-quality service delivery. In addition to

traditional telephone services, new communications services and

applications that are native to- and optimized for IP networks are

being created. As a result, a large variety of communication services

are being delivered on top of the IP infrastructure, while the amount

of traffic being carried over it is reaching numbers unimaginable just

a few years ago.

The evolution of IP communications is being carried forward by

organizations and individuals representing a diverse set of fields and

backgrounds - telecommunications, web development, electrical and

computer engineering, information technology and data networking. The

aim of the IPTComm conference is to serve as a platform for

researchers from academia, research labs, industry and government to

share their ideas, views, results and experiences in the field of

IP-based telecommunication. IPTComm will include presentations of

theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative systems,

prototyping efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology.

The list of topics for IPTComm includes but is not limited to:

New services and service models

* Over-the-top services.

* Social networking and IP communications.

* Compositional services and model checking.

* Cloud-based IP communication infrastructures.

* Virtualization of IP communication services.

* Rapid application development frameworks.

* APIs and enablers for IP communication services.

* Browser-based IP communication services.

* Context-aware communication services.

* Peer-to-peer IP communication systems.

* Telepresence and immersive services.

* IMS and NGN services.

Management and Resilience

* Management of IP communications systems and networks.

* Overload management schemes for IP communications.

* Log files and log file analysis for IP communication systems.

* Scalability of large-scale IP communication systems.

* Traffic and QoS measurement of VoIP traffic.

* Self-tuning and self-monitoring IP communications systems.

* Service discovery.

* Energy consumption and energy management in IP communication

systems.

* Incentives in P2P IP communication systems.

* Resilience in P2P IP communication system.

Security

* Identity management for IP communications systems.

* Anonymity and privacy in IP communications.

* Forensics and diagnostics in IP communication systems.

* Techniques to detect, mitigate and prevent SPIT, phreaking and

vishing.

* Denial of service detection and prevention.

Mobile IP Communications

* Mobile IP communication services.

* Mobility in cloud-based IP communications infrastructure.

* Mobile P2P IP communication systems.

Miscellaneous

* The role of IP communications in the power grid.

* Open source development in IP communications.

* Research issues in vertical IP communication markets (e.g.,

privacy

in the medical field, location in logistical field, etc.)

* Regulatory issues in IP communications.

AUTHOR INFORMATION

Papers submission is handled by EDAS (http://edas.info/N10347).

IPTComm solicits both long and short papers. Long papers may be up to

12 pages in length, in two-column ACM conference format (see

http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All

submissions must describe original research, not published nor

currently under review for another conference or journal. The program

committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be

published in the conference proceedings. Pending cooperation

agreements, papers will also be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Short papers should be between 5 and 6 pages long. The aim of the

short paper category is to help maintain a published record of work

carried out as well as facilitate future affiliations and foster

collaborative work. Short papers are subject to the same rigorous

review process as full papers and follow the same submission process,

schedule and expectation of presentation as the full papers.
