[Tccc] CFP, IEEE ANTS 2010, December 16-18, IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India

4th International IEEE Conference on Advanced Networks and Telecommunication
Systems (ANTS)
IEEE ANTS 2010

www.ieee-ants.org/2010
First Call for Papers

*Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society.*

Scope: Broadband networks are witnessing a rapid convergence in both
technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require
unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol layers,
facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of the network.
Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have benefits in terms of
deployment cost as well as the ability to provision new services. Motivated
by the tremendous success of the first three IEEE ANTS events in Mumbai in
2007 and 2008 and New Delhi in 2009, which highlighted advances in systems
and networking, the theme of IEEE ANTS 2010 continues to be communication
systems and networking technologies for realizing converged ubiquitous
broadband connectivity. To achieve this goal, the conference will feature a
technical program of previously unpublished papers, tutorials, talks, and
panels on relevant topics bringing together experts from academia, industry,
government, and the user community who are involved in the research, design,
development, deployment, regulation, and application of communication and
networking technologies. The conference will cover technologies that
facilitate broadband connectivity and cover advances in the service,
networking, transport, and user equipment domains. Making ubiquitous
broadband affordable is driving service providers, network operators, and
OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) towards converged network solutions
and services as a way to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Further, cost-effective
research and development partnerships with knowledge economies in India,
China, and Eastern Europe are being increasingly leveraged as can be gauged
by the growth of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and software service
providers. IEEE ANTS 2010 provides a common meeting ground for the
confluence and exchange of ideas with a rich mix of participation from
academia, global industry, and other stakeholders. The conference will be
held in the financial capital of India – Mumbai – during December 16-18,
2010.
Recognizing the growth of IEEE ANTS in the past three years, IEEE ANTS 2010
will feature three areas covering a variety of topics consistent with the
theme of Converged Networks. These areas are:

1. Core Telecom Networks (including topics such as):
 Optical networks
 ROADMs, OXC architectures
 Carrier Ethernet
 Core network architectures and protocols
 Router and switch architectures: IP, SONET/SDH, MSPP
 Multi-domain and multi-layer transport networks
 Storage networks

2. Access Telecom Networks (including topics such as):
 FTTX Networks
 First-mile access networks
 Passive Optical Networks (PON)
 Wireless access networks and WiMax
 Access network architectures and protocols
 Other access networks: ADSL, DOCSIS, VDSL, Cable, etc.
 Cloud computing
3. Network Applications (including topics such as):
 Data security, Content processing/billing, OSS
 IPTV, Video-on-Demand, Telepresence
 Topics in telecommunications
 Mobile backhaul
 Digital Rights Management
 Energy-Efficient networking

Submissions: Authors are encouraged to submit a three-page extended abstract
via EDAS (http://edas.info). Papers will be reviewed for technical content
and scope by a technical program committee. All accepted and presented
papers would be digitally archived through IEEE Xplore. To achieve wide
participation, no author may submit more than TWO papers to the conference.
If a person is a co-author on more than two papers, only two of these papers
will be selected for review and the other papers will be rejected without
review.
