BcN 2009 논문모집 (제출마감일: 1월 26일까지)

CALL FOR PAPERS The 4th IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks 2009 (BcN 2009) Sponsored by IFIP/IEEE Communication Society and Co-sponsored by KICS KNOM June 5, 2009, New York, USA (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP IM 2009) http://networking.khu.ac.kr/bcn2009/   Convergence is a key design aspect for next generation networks. The seamless integration of the wireless and wired network architectures, point to point and broadcasting communications, data and multimedia oriented services, mobile and cellular systems, sensors networks, fast fiber and long delay networks remains a challenging endeavor. The end-to-end picture becomes unclear to say the least. As new technologies meet old ones, many need to be revisited to fit into this complex scenario. In this Workshop, we will look at the latest advances in Broadband techno logies including IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN (WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks and their SIP based IMS platform, broadband access networks such as xDSL and Cable and examine their use for emerging streaming, multicast and broadcast applications such as IPTV. We also welcome research into next generation architectures and their management. Architectural design issues such as naming and addressing, routing and service scalability, late binding, cross layer design, mobility and heterogeneous support, service orchestration, among others are also encouraged into the broadband context. This 4th edition of the event builds on the success of the 1st. IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN2006) held on April the 7th. 2006 in Vancouver, Canada, in conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), the 2007 edition held on May the 21st of 2007 in Munich, Germany (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP IM2007) and the 2008 edition held on April the 7th of 2008 in Salvador, Brazil (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2008). We seek to draw researchers with different backgrounds to share their experience and knowledge of the current status of standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss challenges and present possible solutions and innovations for the challenges that broadband networking brings forward. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the following:    - Trends in Broadband networking, Architectures and Standardization    - Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting    - Fixed and Mobile Networks Convergence    - IMS and Telecom convergence    - Next Generation Networks    - Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network    - Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover    - Regulatory Issues    - Applications and Service Provisioning    - QoS, Mobility and Policy Management in Broadband networks    - Security issues on the convergence networks    - Accounting and Billing    - Automated resource management and service provisioning    - Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking< BR>   - Virtual Networks and Operators    - Overlay networks    - TCP for Broadband links    - Streaming services over wireless access networks    - Future Internet Issues PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit original contributions in PDF format through the JEMS at https://jems.sbc.org.br/bcn2009 We are seeking submissions for full papers (max. 6 pages on 2-column IEEE style) and short papers presenting position statements or preliminary results on relevant work (up to 2 pages on 2-column IEEE style).
