[SIPForum-discussion] Call For Papers: IPTComm 2009

[Eric Burger]

This is a SIP Forum-sponsored, technical conference that you should be  
aware of, and I would hope to see you participate in.



IPTComm 2009: Services and Security for Next Generation Networks
The Third Conference on Principles, Systems and Applications of IP  
Telecommunications
				     July 7 and 8, 2009

			Georgia Tech
		     Atlanta, Georgia, USA
		       http://iptcomm.org

While standards and products now support PSTN-equivalent services for  
voice, video and text over IP, there are significant difficulties in  
deploying large-scale, reliable and secure IP telecommunication  
systems. Services that go beyond basic call features remain hard to  
develop and deploy. The aim of the IPTComm conference is to serve as a  
platform for researchers from
academia and 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 security systems,  
prototyping efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology  
directly affecting IP-based telecommunication in general and VoIP and  
IMS services in particular.

We invite authors to submit papers in the following and related areas:

VoIP, NGN and IMS Security

     * Intrusion and anomaly detection and protection for VoIP, NGN  
and IMS systems
     * Denial of Service detection and prevention
     * Security models of voice, video and text over IP services
     * Detection, mitigation and prevention of SPIT, SPIM, Vishing
     * Fraud detection and prevention
     * Threat and vulnerability analyses of VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
     * Content security and protection of media flows
     * Security of VoIP supporting systems such as AAA and ENUM
     * End-to-end security schemes
     * Inter-provider trust and verification schemes
     * Emerging security aspects in standards

Convergent Services

     * Collaboration including interactive television, networked music  
performance and multiplayer games
     * Feature integration and interference
     * Presence and event notification
     * Service creation environments and languages
     * Service architectures (e.g. Parlay, SIP Servlets, IMS)

Management and Resilience

     * Management of VoIP infrastructure and services
     * P2P overlays for future telecommunication systems
     * Resilience architectures (including P2P schemes)
     * Traffic monitoring and measurement of VoIP, NGN and IMS traffic
     * Monitoring and testing tools for VoIP, NGN and IMS  
infrastructures
     * VoIP and IMS system performance, reliability and scalability
     * Load balancing for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
     * High availability solutions for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
     * Overload control schemes for VoIP

Billing and Regulatory aspects

     * Billing, AAA
     * Emergency services (individual to authority, authority to  
individuals and to authority
     * Regulatory aspects of IP-based telecommunication systems (NGN,  
IMS) and future evolutions to P2P
     * Lawful intercept for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems (with open  
questions for P2P-based systems)

The IPTComm conference is a two-day conference.

Paper Submission:
-----------------

IPTComm solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column  
ACM conference format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html) 
.  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.
