------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPER - Next-Generation Networking (NGN) Symposium at ICC'14 in Sidney - 10-14 June 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE International Conference on Communications, IEEE ICC 2014 Communications: The Centrepoint of Digital Economy 10 - 14 June 2014, Sydney, Australia

*Next-Generation Networking (NGN) Symposium*

The 2014 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) will be held in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia between 10 and 14 June 2014. The theme of this flagship conference of IEEE Communications Society for 2014 is "Communications: The Centrepoint of Digital Economy." The conference will feature a comprehensive technical program including twelve Symposia and a number of Tutorials and Workshops. IEEE ICC 2014 will also include an attractive expo program including keynote speakers, and Industry Forum & Exhibitions (IF&E). We invite you to submit your original technical papers, industry forum, workshop, and tutorial proposals to this event. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE ICC 2014 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore(R). Full details of submission procedures are available at http://www.ieee-icc.org/2014.

Scope and Topics of Interest: Advancements in communications and networking technologies have reached unprecedented heights, but many new challenges and opportunities are emerging. Of particular importance to Next Generation Networks are emerging topics in the area of software defined networks, network virtualization, mobile cloud, network heterogeneity, scalability, services and applications, security, manageability, dependability, and performance predictability. Furthermore, many salient issues are affecting broadband next-generation wireless networks, such as, handover/mobility management, cross-layer activities, self-organization, and energy efficiency operations. The Next Generation Networking Symposium at IEEE ICC 2014 aims to consolidate and disseminate the latest developments and advances in these emerging focus areas. This symposium invites participation from both academic and industry researchers working in the area of next-generation networking technologies, services, architectures, and protocols. The overall goal is to present the latest snapshot of the ongoing research as well as to shed further light on future directions in this space. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical studies as well as broader position and vision papers comprising hypothetical/speculative scenarios. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in this field, the Next Generation Networking Symposium solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: · Future Internet and next-generation networking architectures · Software Defined Networking (SDN) · Software Defined Radio (SDR) · Overlay networks and peer-to-peer networking · Network and service virtualization · Cloud-based networking · Mobile cloud · Centralized-RAN and CPRI architectures · Network sharing mechanisms · Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services · Flow management: resource sharing, congestion control, etc. · Routing: unicast, multicast, anycast, etc (wireless, wireline) · Multihoming, network planning and optimization · Addressing and naming, especially in the presence of mobility and portability · Operational and research issues with IPv6 · VoIP protocols and services · Self-protecting networking · Switch and router architectures, performance, control, buffer management, packet scheduling · Network management methodologies and control plane design · Internet survivability and network resilience strategies · Mechanisms for self-organization and autonomous networking · Traffic measurement, analysis, modeling, visualization, and engineering · Anomaly, intrusion, and attack detection/prevention · Policy based mechanisms and high-speed firewall technology · Packet classification and forwarding mechanisms at ultra-high link rates (terabits) · High speed and parallel processing architectures for next generation routers · Heterogeneous multi-layer and multi-domain networks, wireless-wireline internetworking · Connecting mobile/wireless devices to the Internet · Content-based networking: caching, distribution, load balancing, resiliency · Internet of Things, M2M, MTC · Mobile/wireless content distribution · Internet applications including interactive media, voice and video, games, immersive applications · Internet signaling and service enabling protocols, including SIP, NSIS, HTTP, RTSP/RTP, etc. · Privacy and/or security issues and intrusion detection/prevention in the Internet · Design methodologies for Internet services · Internet economics, pricing models, accounting, Internet growth modeling · IP multimedia subsystem: architecture and design · Next-Generation access networking · Converged networks and applications, including NGN telecom networks Converged management mechanism for RAN and mobile backhaul · Quality of Service and Quality of Experience in Next Generation Networks · Energy efficiency, green communications

Submission Guidelines: Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline 15 September 2013 for publication in the IEEE ICC 2014 Conference Proceedings and for oral or poster presentation(s). All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (a maximum of one additional page will be accepted, subject to over-length charge).
