*ONIT 2010 @ TRIDENTCOM 2010*
*2nd Open NGN and IMS Testbeds Workshop*
*May 18th, 2010, Berlin, Germany www.onit-ws.org*
** The Open NGN and IMS workshop 2010 (ONIT 2010) will give insights into the state of the art concerning open NGN/NGMN and IMS testbeds at an international scale. The workshop will be held in conjunction with TRIDENTCOM 2010, the 6th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks and Communities. The objective is to evaluate and share the experience on the quality and impact of such testbeds in order to improve current offerings and position them for future challenges. Especially, the role of open source software for NGN/NGMN testbeds, as well as how such software and infrastructures can be provided in line with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Also in scope will be the latest developments into standardization and research on topics related to NGN/NGMN, like the integration between IMS and new all-IP converged network technologies as EPC based networks, with special insight on how cost-effective and accelerated R&D can happen on traditionally difficult fields with the help of open testbeds. The workshop will feature invited keynotes presenting international NGN/NGMN and IMS testbed initiatives. Scientific papers will concentrate on academic aspects of testbeds of NGN and IMS as well as deployment, access, management, and governance issues.
