*Call for Papers*
*Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern
        society.* The advancements in the range of network service
        offerings, their performance, quality of service, security, and
        ubiquity are relentless, despite global economy fluctuations.
        The demand for high bandwidth network infrastructures is
        continuously growing within both academic and industrial sectors.
Grid computing is one of the many examples of the *new emerging
        paradigm of networking* characterized by huge data traffic
        flows, that require an extremely high-performance network
        infrastructure. The need of high speed is emerging also in
        mobile, wireless network environments, where new wireless
        technologies promise data rates above 100 Mbps. Other high
        bandwidth network examples include community access networks, on
        demand optical networks and the *Next Generation Internet.
        *
        To meet these challenges, experimental activities on
        infrastructures, such as testing, verification, deployment, are
        pivotal for academic researchers, developers, service managers
        and providers, as well as for end users. The management of
        research infrastructures is increasingly dependent on a business
        model that optimizes their operational price/performance ratio.
        For example, access to experimental infrastructures for
        real-life applications by specific user communities would
        benefit all the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of
        the experimental evaluation of the provided services, the
        researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the
        knowledge gained from case-study analysis, and the
        infrastructure managers, because of the business exploitation of
        the network.
        .
*Research on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure
        operation and management will find in Tridentcom its primary
        forum for focused discussion. *
High quality papers reporting on original research and on
        experiment results addressing the above areas are solicited for
        submission.
The main topics of the conference are:
* Next Generation Internet Testbeds
            * Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds
            * Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds

*Best Testbed Award *
**
A Best Testbed Award will be assigned to the research
        infrastructure that will best implement the open infrastructure
        model, so that to offer the greatest valuable service to the
        public, and the most sustainable business model to the
        infrastructure managers.
