International Conference on

Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking (NEW2AN'04)

Organized by Tampere University of Technology (Finland) and R&D Institute LONIIS (Russia) in cooperation with ITC (International Teletraffic Congress), Popov Society and IEEE St.Petersburg BT/CAS/COM Chapter

February 02-06, 2004 R&D LONIIS, St.Petersburg, Russia http://www.new2an.org/

The conference --------------

Modern multimedia services pose new challenges related to the treatment of traffic within communication networks. To build next-generation telecommunication network, teletraffic theory and advanced networking must be used. The conference goal is the identification and investigation of new models, architectures and mechanisms to enable a new generation of IP networks. Special emphasis will be given to wireless networking, in particular the handling and delivery of multimedia traffic in 2.5/3G networks. Results which address collaborative problems between next generation teletraffic and advanced networking are strongly encouraged.

Since the middle of the 1990s a sequence of seminars sponsored by International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) have been successfully organized by the R&D Institute LONIIS in Saint Petersburg. The meeting point between east and west, the experience of both can be seen and felt in the host country, city and entity - R&D Institute LONIIS.

Topics ------

Paper submissions should address (but not limited to) one of the following topics:

- Next Generation Teletraffic Theory - Overlay Networks - Ad-hoc Networks - 3G and Beyond Networks - Delivery of Multimedia Traffic over IP in Wired and Wireless Environment - Always Best Connected - Horizontal/Vertical/Internal Handover Algorithms - QoS Provisioning in Wired and Wireless Environment - Medium access control protocols and scheduling techniques for future wireless systems - Wireless Protocols - [Multimedia] Traffic Measurements and Testbeds - 4G Paradigms - Applications for Multimedia-enabled Wired And Wireless Networks - Traffic Engineering & QoS in all-IP Networks - Multicast networks - Traffic Classification and Characterization - Resource Management and Congestion control - Network Modeling, Simulation, Emulation and Tomography - Network Planning and Network Engineering - Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) - Business Models and Tariffing - HAPs (High Altitude Platforms)

Papers and submission --------------------- Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts in English to the conference. Papers should be not more than 3 single-spaced pages.
