                        CALL FOR PAPERS

   IPTCOMM 2009: Services and Security for Next Generation Networks
The Third Conference on Principles, Systems and Applications of IP 
Telecommunications

                       July 7 and 8, 2009
                           Georgia Tech
                   Atlanta, Georgia, USA

While standards and products now support PSTN-equivalent services for 
voice, video and text over IP, there are significant difficulties in 
deploying attractive, large-scale, reliable and secure IP 
telecommunication systems. On one hand standardization organizations are 
currently defining their vision of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) with 
sub-systems dedicated to multimedia (IMS), to IPTV and to PSTN emulation 
(PES). On the other hand services that go beyond basic features remain 
hard to develop and deploy. VoIP domains almost always interoperate 
through the PSTN making peering and federation concepts far from being a 
reality. Interoperability is still an issue when coming to security, 
instant messaging and advanced features. IP-based emergency services are 
still not mature enough in terms of location determination and 
conveyance, architecture and trials.

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 with a special focus on security and services 
issues. IPTComm will include presentations of theoretical and 
experimental achievements, innovative security systems, prototyping 
efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology.

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

VoIP, NGN and IMS Security

o Intrusion and anomaly detection and protection for VoIP, NGN and IMS 
systems

o Denial of Service detection and prevention

o Security models of voice, video and text over IP services

o Detection, mitigation and prevention of SPIT, SPIM, Vishing

o Fraud detection and prevention

o Threat and vulnerability analyses of VoIP, NGN and IMS systems

o Content security and protection of media flows

o Security of VoIP supporting systems such as AAA and ENUM

o End-to-end security schemes

o Inter-provider trust and verification schemes

o Emerging security aspects in standards

Convergent Services

o Collaboration including interactive television, networked music 
performance and  multiplayer games
IP based (Mobile) TV services

o Feature integration and interference

o Presence and event notification

o Service creation environments and languages

o Service architectures (e.g. Parlay, SIP Servlets, IMS)

Management and Resilience

o Management of VoIP infrastructure and services

o P2P overlays for future telecommunication systems

o Resilience architectures (including P2P schemes)

o Traffic monitoring and measurement of VoIP, NGN and IMS traffic

o Monitoring and testing tools for VoIP, NGN and IMS infrastructures

o VoIP and IMS system performance, reliability and scalability

o Load balancing for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems

o High availability solutions for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
Overload control schemes for VoIP

Billing and Regulatory aspects

o Billing, AAA

o Emergency services (individual to authority, authority to individuals 
and to authority)

o Regulatory aspects of IP-based telecommunication systems (NGN, IMS) 
and future evolutions to P2P

o Lawful intercept for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems (with open questions 
for P2P-based systems)

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.
