IEEE PIMRC 2008 - VoIP Technologies
VoIP Technology: Research and Standards for reliable applications
http://www.cs.uoi.gr/~voippimrc08/
Aim of the workshop
------------------------
The trend to all IP-based networks has been fuelled by the Internet's
flexibility that allows the development of innovative services. In this
context, the integration of heterogeneous infrastructures as well as
applications is of paramount importance. Voice over IP (VoIP), also
referred to as Internet or IP telephony, is an example of application
that brings the well-known circuit-switched service to the context of
IP-based networks.
Over the last years, VoIP has received the wide acceptance of users and
network operators due to its countless benefits. While users enjoy the
flexibility and the monetary savings that VoIP provides, service
providers take advantage of its cost-effectiveness. Although VoIP has
evolved rapidly, recent advances provide new opportunities for meeting
numerous daunting challenges for reaching the quality of traditional
telephony service. To this end, he VoIP community is taking advantage of
new networking technologies (i.e., WiMAX, Wireless Mesh networks,
overlay networks, etc) and innovative design trends and technologies
(i.e., cross-layer architectures, QoS advances, network coding, etc).
The aim of this workshop is to serve as a forum for scientists and
engineers from academia, industry as well as from regulatory and
standardization authorities, where they could share recent advances and
design trends in VoIP technology.
Topics of Interest
------------------------
The aim of this Workshop is to cover a wide spectrum of topics related
to VoIP communications, ranging from QoS mechanisms to the design and
performance evaluation of different VoIP components. Original papers are
solicited that present research, development and deployment issues and
challenges, as well as experimental results and applications in the area
of Internet Telephony. The topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
* Emerging VoIP services in all-IP mobile networks
* Cross-layer design of VoIP services
* Call continuity between VoIP and traditional circuit-switched networks
* VoIP over Heterogeneous Networks
* Test methods and measurments
* Design, implementation and VoIP testbed results
* QoS mechanisms tailored to VoIP transmission
* Header Compression schemes
* Voice codecs and silence suppression
* VoIP over WLAN, WiMAX and Wireless Mesh Networks
* Call admission control and QoS support for VoIP
* Security in VoIP communications
Submission of Papers
------------------------
Submitted papers should be 5 double-column pages (over-length pages will
be charged according to PIMRC policy). Both submissions and full papers
should be uploaded to the VoIP Technologies Workshop submission track
(http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6355&track=4147&) in the EDAS system.
Papers should be in English and formatted according to IEEE paper
templates available on the PIMRC'08 website. For more details on the
workshop please visit the webpage http://www.cs.uoi.gr/~voippimrc08.
Papers will be reviewed by the program committee for their technical
merit, originality, significance, readability, and relevance to the
workshop. Emphasis will be given to papers extending VoIP technology to
novel areas as well as to papers coming from industry. Submissions are
due on April 11. Authors will receive notification of
acceptance/rejection by May 19. Camera-ready copies of accepted papers
are due on June 2 and will be published in PIMRC' 08 proceedings. The
maximum length of final papers will be 5 pages in double column.
