CALL FOR PAPERS
?
ONIT 2012 @ GLOBECOM 2012
4th International IEEE Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbeds (ONIT)
"Open Source Tools and Testbeds for Fixed and Mobile Next Generation Network
Evolution toward the Future"
December 3-7th, 2012, Anaheim, California, USA
www.onit-ws.org <http://www.onit-ws.org>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed and mobile broadband networks are constantly under transition. The
Internet influence, namely the all-IP transition
has led to major changes in the control and service protocols and platforms.
The resulting fixed and mobile NGNs are
being rolled out globally today and their current evolution is inspired by
Over-The-Top (OTT) multimedia services and
emerging M2M services. The convergence of different networking domains demands
for standardized solutions in order to
enable an open ?plug&play? multivendor environment.
?
The Future Internet is globally considered a hot research topic leading to even
more drastic changes in these network
architectures and technologies. In order to stimulate research and development
in these complex environments and the
prototyping and validation of new concepts, algorithms, protocols, services
open testbeds and experimentation platforms,
as well as open source software tools are of key importance.
?
ONIT is an established and vivid international community, which has been
sparked by the Open IMS project in the context
of NGN in 2009 and has evolved with the related developments, such as OpenEPC
for mobile broadband networks and the
upcoming OpenMTC toolkit for emerging M2M platforms. As these pioneering
testbed toolkits are just examples, there is
much more available around the globe, which should be captured by the ONIT
workshop.
?
The 4th Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbed workshop 2012 (ONIT at Globecom 2012)
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, their evolution
towards Future Internet and related
application domains are target.
Especially, the role of and requirements from open source software for Next
Generation Fixed and Mobile Broadband
Networks testbeds, as well as how such software and infrastructures can provide
the required middleware between radio
technologies like GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, WiMAX or Wireless LAN and Future
Internet as well as Machine-to-Machine
communication networks, shall be discussed in depth.
?
Also in scope will be the latest developments into standardization and research
on topics related to Next Generation
Broadband Networks, like the integration between IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
and new all-IP converged network
technologies as Evolved Packet Core (EPC) based networks, with special insight
on how cost-effective and accelerated R&D
on Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) can happen on traditionally difficult fields with the
help of open testbeds.
