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 service (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.
