Call for Papers

The IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a timely attempt at defining a
uniform services control layer for next-generation telecommunication
networks, and is attracting increased interest from telecom providers
and carriers across the world. In particular, IMS is core to the vision
of converged services, and aims to provide multimedia services across a
variety of access networks, such as 3G, cable and 802.11 hotspots, with
appropriate charging and access control. IMS is also expected as the
vehicle for offering a variety of exciting new services, such as IPTV,
multimedia conferencing and multiplayer gaming, as well as a means to
enable seamless communication across enterprise and provider networks
through integration with other technologies (such as Web 2.0).
