ONIT 2013 - 5th International IFIP/IEEE Workshop on Open NGN and IMS Testbeds
(ONIT) on "Hot Topics in Fixed and Mobile Next Generation Network Evolution"
http://www.onit-ws.org/2013/
Friday, May 31, 2013, Genth, Belgium
Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2012

CALL FOR PAPERS
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
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.
