---------------------------------                

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.

The Open NGN and IMS Testbeds (ONIT) workshop 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 5th Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbed workshop 2013 (ONIT at IM2013) 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. A special focus of the 5th ONIT workshop lies on 
discussing challenges and opportunities of virtualizing telecommunication 
network technologies and applying SDN concepts on them. The objective is also 
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.

#Submission Guidelines
Submission under: https://jems.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1746

Authors are invited to submit original contributions (written in English) in 
PDF format through JEMS using ONIT 2013 Submission Page. Only original papers 
that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be 
submitted. Each submission will be limited to 8 pages (full papers) or 4 pages 
(short papers) in IEEE 2-column style. The review process is single blinded 
(author names should be mentioned). Self-plagiarized papers will be rejected 
without further review.

To be published in the IFIP/IEEE IM 2013 Conference Proceedings and IEEE 
Xplore, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the 
conference at the full or limited (member or non-member) rate and the paper 
must be presented at the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be 
paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of 
the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full or limited 
registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be 
published in the IFIP/IEEE IM 2013 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore.

Demonstration Proposal submissions are highly welcome and limited to 2 pages 
and include a problem statement description and include first results.
