[Tccc] CFP: IPTComm 2010 (4th Principles, Systems and Applications of IP Telecommunications)

IPTCOMM 2010
============

The Fourth Conference on Principles, Systems and Applications of
IP Telecommunications

August 2 and 3, 2010
Leibniz Supercomputing Center
Munich, Germany
http://iptcomm.org

The IP communications domain has matured beyond providing VoIP only
services. Universities, enterprises, businesses and individual
consumers routinely use VoIP. The focus of IP communications is now on
the operations, management, administration and provisioning aspects of
large-scale, reliable and secure communication systems. To this extent,
the research and standardization work now includes log file analysis,
session tracing across proxy meshes and overload control. As IP
communications grapples with these issues, newer technologies in the form
of cloud-based IP communication systems; peer-to-peer VoIP networks;
use of IP communications in virtual worlds; social networks and IP
communications are starting to assert a strong presence in the IP
communications domain.

The aim of the IPTComm conference is to serve as a platform for researchers
from academia, research labs, industry and government to share their
ideas, views, results and experiences in the field of IP-based
telecommunication. IPTComm will include presentations of theoretical
and experimental achievements, innovative systems, prototyping
efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology.

We invite authors to submit papers in the following and related areas:

in the medical field, location in logistical field, etc.)
* Regulatory issues in IP communications.

AUTHOR INFORMATION
==================
IPTComm solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column
ACM conference format
(see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). All
submissions must describe original research, not published nor currently under
review for another conference or journal. The program committee will referee
all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings. Pending cooperation agreements, papers will also be published
in the ACM Digital Library.

In 2010, IPTComm will be accepting short papers of at least 5 pages and
no more than 6 pages. The aim of the short paper category is to help
maintain a published record of work carried out as well as facilitate
future affiliations and foster collaborative work. Short papers are
subject to the same rigorous review process as full papers and follow
the same submission process, schedule and expectation of presentation as
the full papers.

Papers submission is handled by EDAS (http://edas.info/N8459).
