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

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 large-scale, reliable and secure
IP telecommunication systems. Services that go beyond basic call features remain hard to
develop and deploy.
The aim of the IPTComm conference is to serve as a platform for researchers from
academia and 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 security systems, prototyping efforts, case studies, and advancements in
technology directly affecting IP-based telecommunication in general and VoIP and IMS
services in particular.

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

VoIP, NGN and IMS Security

* Intrusion and anomaly detection and protection for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
* Denial of Service detection and prevention
* Security models of voice, video and text over IP services
* Detection, mitigation and prevention of SPIT, SPIM, Vishing
* Fraud detection and prevention
* Threat and vulnerability analyses of VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
* Content security and protection of media flows
* Security of VoIP supporting systems such as AAA and ENUM
* End-to-end security schemes
* Inter-provider trust and verification schemes
* Emerging security aspects in standards

Convergent Services

* Collaboration including interactive television, networked music performance and multiplayer games
* Feature integration and interference
* Presence and event notification
* Service creation environments and languages
* Service architectures (e.g. Parlay, SIP Servlets, IMS)

Management and Resilience

* Management of VoIP infrastructure and services
* P2P overlays for future telecommunication systems
* Resilience architectures (including P2P schemes)
* Traffic monitoring and measurement of VoIP, NGN and IMS traffic
* Monitoring and testing tools for VoIP, NGN and IMS infrastructures
* VoIP and IMS system performance, reliability and scalability
* Load balancing for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
* High availability solutions for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems
* Overload control schemes for VoIP

Billing and Regulatory aspects

* Billing, AAA
* Emergency services (individual to authority, authority to individuals and to authority
* Regulatory aspects of IP-based telecommunication systems (NGN, IMS) and future evolutions to P2P
* Lawful intercept for VoIP, NGN and IMS systems (with open questions for P2P-based systems)

The IPTComm conference is a two-day conference.

Paper Submission:
-----------------

IPTComm solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in two-column ACM conference
format (see http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
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.
