AIPNGN 2012 - The Second International Workshop on All-IP Next Generation Networks (AIPNGN-2012)

IP provides a globally successful open infrastructure for the delivery of heterogeneous services and applications for voice, video and text. All-IP wireless and wireline networks could make the next generation networks more robust, scalable, and cost-effective. The evolution of All-IP next generation networks is being carried forward by industry, government, and academia representing a variety of fields and backgrounds ? communications and networking, computer engineering, and information technology. With the rapid increases in the service heterogeneity, information volume, and system complexity, new architectures and techniques are required to support the deployment of attractive, reliable and secure All-IP networks. AIPNGN-2012 will bring together computer scientists and engineers in different disciplines to share and exchange their experiences and ideas and discuss state-of-the-art and in-progress research on all aspects of All-IP networks. This workshop is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards the design, implementation and evaluation of All-IP next generation networks.
