                               CALL FOR PAPERS

Hosted this year in the wonderful city of Chicago, the seventh IPTComm
conference is a continuation of a series of successful events devoted to
academic and industrial research in IP-enabled communications and services.
Promoting and addressing the ever changing technological landscape, the
conference addresses timely topics related to Mobility, Software Defined
Networking, Big Data, Information Centric Networks, new web-enabled
technologies like WebRTC, Cloud-based real-time media processing, Internet
of Things (IoT), and the integration of real-time communications with
traditional M2M systems.  

The goal of IPTComm is to bring together researchers working in these
emerging fields in order to discuss challenges and share results, and
ultimately provide a solid foundation to support the progress of new
services and communication paradigms.  

This year IPTComm will be co-located with the IIT Real-Time Communications
(RTC) Conference and Expo,  <http://www.rtc-conference.com>
http://www.rtc-conference.com, at the Chicago campus of the Illinois
Institute of Technology (IIT). The RTC Conference brings together
researchers and educators, standards developers, and technical professionals
and executives from the data and telecommunications industry, standards
bodies, policy and regulatory institutions in challenging and engaging
discussions.  The goal of the conference is promoting an open exchange of
ideas to lead future development in the rapidly changing field of real-time
communications.  In addition to hosting the IPTComm Research track, the RTC
Conference will have tracks related to Web and Emerging Technologies
(WebRTC), Mobility, Cloud, NG9-1-1, and Policy. The demonstrations and
presentations in these tracks will complement the material to be presented
in the IPTComm track and serve as a source of new ideas and industry
research partners. 

The IPTComm conference scope includes voice and video over IP,
Machine-to-Machine communications, enabling protocols like SIP and WebRTC,
Mobility, scaling, security, cloud, applications, emerging standards, system
analysis, reliability, and architectures.
