TridentCom 2009 represents a landmark in the history of international
testbed conferences. With the rapid convergence of networks and
applications, changes in related industries, more complex value chains and
increased competition, early prototyping and experimentation will become a
key means for driving innovation and development of market oriented
solutions. In this context, value generation has shifted from network
technologies towards applications and content. Thus, the nature and scope
of testbeds have changed substantially in recent years from solely network
technologies towards complex service delivery infrastructures riding on
various networks. In contrast to traditional vendor, operator and technology
specific "closed" testbeds, the notion of "open" testbeds has emerged.
"Open" in this context means both wide access as a shared resource
and extensibility to include on-demand new end systems, network
technologies, protocol stacks, and, most importantly, new middleware and
service delivery platforms for specific test purposes. To meet this need,
major research and development programs have started around the globe,
including GENI in the U.S. and FIRE in Europe, to establish large scale
experimental facilities. TridentCom 2009 will provide a forum to explore
existing and planned testbed concepts, infrastructures, and tools to
address the research and business challenges in a world of global
convergence.
Prospective authors from academia, industry and government are invited to
submit high quality papers in two categories, Full Papers and Testbed
Practices Papers, as well as demonstration proposals reporting on all
aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation and management,
including, but not limited to:
* Next Generation Internet and Clean Slate Protocol Stack Testbeds
* GRID Testbeds and P2P Testbeds
* Automonic Communications and Self-managing Network Testbeds
* Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds
* Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds
* Ubiquitous Network and Seamless Services Testbeds
* End System and Sensor Testbeds
* Smart Home and Converged Communication and Media Services Testbeds
* SOA/Web 2.0 Services Testbeds
* Next Generation Services Testbeds
* Service Creation and Provisioning Testbeds
* Next Generation Networks, IMS, and Quad Play Testbeds
* Configurable Hardware/Software Platforms for Testbeds
* Testbed Tools for Interoperability, Benchmarking and Traffic Measurements
* Innovative Measurements Methodologies and Tools for Networks and Services
* Industrial informatics
