************** Paper Submission Deadline: July 27th, 2008 **************
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).
