[SIPForum-discussion] Call for Papers

[Kim Schofield]

            5th Conference on Principles, Systems and
              Applications of IP Telecommunications
                         (IPTComm 2011)
                     http://www.iptcomm.org
                         August 1-2, 2011
                 Illinois Institute of Technology
                           Chicago, USA

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:

       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.
