CALL FOR PAPER
Special Session on Next Generation Communication Services
2-4 Sept. 2009, Nice, France
in Mobility Conference 2009
http://www.acmmobility2009.org/

*** SCOPE ***
In a user perspective, communication services are evolving from
monolithic teleservices (e.g. telephony)
into fragmented and component-based services (e.g. PoC, messaging) that
are aware of the context of the
user. At the same time, networks are evolving towards NGN architecture
that enables network
convergence by providing ubiquitous and unified services through
heterogeneous fixed (xDSL, cable) and
wireless broadband access networks (e.g. WiMAX/WiBro, WiFi, 3G, LTE). In
a technical perspective,
communications services are facing major technical evolutions with SIP,
IMS, NGN, and P2P Overlay
Networks. The stakes for communication services providers are thus to
adapt services to flexible usages
through flexible service architectures, relying on re-usable components
and structured with common
models.
The purpose of this special session is to present and to discuss new
paradigms, mechanisms and
applications of Next Generation Communication Services. It offers a
unique opportunity for researchers
in this area to exchange their research ideas. This special session will
be held in conjunction with ACM
Mobility Conference 2009, an ideal vehicle for bringing together
researchers, scientists, engineers,
academics and students all around the world to share the latest updates
on new mobile technologies that
would shape the next generation of mobile systems and technology
platforms.
It is co-sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE.

*** TOPICS ***
The main topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Service modeling and service architectures
- Service enablers and autonomic services
- Next Generation service discovery and service access
- Internet of Services, Internet of Things, Smart Spaces
- User Generated Services, service creation, and service composition
- Service overlays, P2P architectures and services
- Social networking
- Context-awareness and user context for communication services
- Multimedia services over wireline and wireless networks, mobile
Internet services
- Broadcasting and multicasting in overlay networks, experience from
networks overlay testbeds
