CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
International Workshop on Connectivity and Service Provisioning in the Regions with Emerging Network Infrastructure (CSPRENI)
October 12 - 14, 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia
http://crg.ee.uct.ac.za/cspreni/
Technically sponsored by IEEE Communications Society
Co-located with the International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT)
http://www.icumt.org/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:
As the deployment of Internet and mobile data services in developed economies reaches saturation point, emerging economies are offering tremendous growth opportunities for global operators and hardware manufacturers. Most of the emerging regions are characterized by the markedly scarcer levels of data and voice communication network infrastructure in comparison with the developed regions. At the same time the growth rates of telecommunication service users (e.g., mobile telephony) are often enormously high. In the future, introduction of new value-added multimedia services over a ubiquitous IP-based network architecture is envisaged to sharply boost the demand for low-cost connectivity with assured quality of service (QoS) and quality of end-user experience (QoE). The deployment of these services faces a number of technological, marketing and regulatory challenges inherent to the developing regions.
The aim of the CSPRENI workshop is to bring together a group of experts from Academia and Industry, who are involved in the research and implementation of telecommunication system solutions for developing regions and would be interested in sharing ideas, results and experiences with other participants, encouraging future collaboration.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Original contributions addressing networking architectures and service provisioning in the developing regions are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- deployment and operation of inexpensive broadband wireless access systems
- fixed and wireless mesh networks
- interworking heterogeneous wireless/wireline networks
- admission control and resource management in heterogeneous networks
- delay-tolerant and intermittent networking protocols
- QoS-aware routing
- capacity, throughput and outage optimization
- aggregation and sharing of Internet traffic
- content-based networking: caching, distribution, load balancing, resiliency
- self-protecting network architectures and protocol design
- IMS deployments over heterogeneous network infrastructures
- QoS interfaces to the transport network in IMS
- QoS provisioning for multimedia services
- development of killer applications and services for emerging regions
- innovative user interfaces
- AAA, pricing and billing
- innovative business models for data communications and services
- network operations and management
- test-bed and prototype implementation

PAPER SUBMISSION:
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. All papers will be rigorously reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the ICUMT'09 conference proceedings, indexed in IEEE Xplore.
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info/N7835). The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the IEEE instructions "Template and Instructions on How to Create Your Paper (DOC, 92KB)", available at http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/. The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.
