-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Only a few days till IEEE ANTS deadline Datum: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:35:18 -0400 Von: Rudra Dutta dutta@csc.ncsu.edu An: tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu

Dear Colleague,

The paper submission deadline for IEEE ANTS 2008 is getting close. Please consider submitting your work to this conference of emerging importance and a strong a2b focus. The earlier notice with a few pertinent points of information is quoted below. Full CFP is attached at the end - please circulate as appropriate.

Updates:

- EDAS submission open since mid-June - Arun Netravalli and Kishor Chaukar to be the 2 lead keynotes for IEEE ANTS 2008 - "How to write effective IEEE ANTS papers" - by Prof. Biswanath Mukherjee posted on the website to aid beginning authors - See half-page ad in IEEE Communications Magazine, July issue

Thanks!

---------------------------------------- Dear Colleague,

As the paper submission deadline for IEEE ANTS 2008 approaches, we wanted to quickly share with you the a few points of information. Full CFP is attached after these remarks.

ANTS is now a fully recognized and sponsored IEEE conference. In fact, if you go to the ComSoc website, and select "Conferences->Major Conferences" from the top bar, you will see IEEE ANTS in the list. Conference papers will of course be archived in IEEE Xplore (ANTS 2007 papers are also available from Xplore). IEEE Communications Magazine featured a conference report on ANTS 2007 in its May issue - follow the link from the ANTS homepage (www.antsconference.org) if you missed it. And in the July issue, watch for a full page informative ad.

Industry-university connection is emerging as a defining characteristic of ANTS. In south-east Asia and especially India, a huge telecom and datacom initiative is building. There is a need for industry-academia exchange of views to define research problems and agendas that have intellectual value and also address practical burning issues. ANTS 2007 facilitated this process to a level well beyond the usual for academic conferences. IEEE ANTS 2008 is planned to continue this process, with special sessions targeted toward identifying fruitful issues for collaboration. ANTS is the Indian academic conference where industry comes to listen and talk.

As before, ANTS will have some resources for offsetting registration costs on a need basis. The registration costs are already low - last year's figures were USD 250 for IEEE members (300 for non-members), and USD 125 for students (lower for domestic students - as low as USD 40). This year's details will be announced soon - watch the website. Acceptance rates are expected to be similar to last year, when 20 out of 59 total peer-reviewed papers were accepted. The total number of papers is likely to go up a little, as the conference goes to three instead of two days.

Please consider publishing your work in this young but already distinct conference (and coming on a city tour of one of the most colored and textured cities of the world in the bargain). Hope to see you in Mumbai!

----------------------- 2nd International IEEE Symposium on Advanced Networks and Telecommunication Systems (ANTS)

IEEE ANTS 2008

December, 15-17, 2008, Bombay (Mumbai) India

http://www.antsconference.org

Scope: Broadband networks are witnessing a convergence in both technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol layers facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of the network. Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have benefits in terms of deployment cost as well as the ability to provision new services. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first ANTS (2007) event which highlighted advances in systems and networking, the theme of ANTS 2008 is on communication systems and networking technologies for Realizing converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity. To achieve this goal, the symposium will feature a technical program of previously unpublished papers, tutorials, talks and panels on relevant topics bringing together experts from academia, industry, government and the user community who are involved in the research, design, development, deployment, regulation and application of communication and networking technologies. The symposium will cover technologies that facilitate broadband connectivity ñ both wire-line and wireless ñ and cover advances in the service, networking, transport and user equipment domains. Making ubiquitous broadband affordable is driving service providers, network operators, and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) towards converged network solutions and services as a way to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Further, cost-effective research and development partnerships with knowledge economies in India, China, and Eastern Europe are being increasingly leveraged as can be gauged by the growth of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and software service providers. ANTS 2008 provides a common meeting point for the confluence and exchange of ideas with a rich mix of participation from the academia, global industry and other stakeholders. The symposium will be held in the commercial and entertainment capital of India ñ Bombay ñ on December 15-17, 2008. ANTS 2008 will cover the following topics consistent with the theme of Realizing Converged Ubiquitous Broadband Connectivity:

Network, Services and Terminal Convergence Home Networks and Media Gateways SMB & Enterprise Networks & Systems Wireless Access Networks and Systems Wire-line Access Networks and Systems Metro Networks and Systems Core Networks and Systems Storage Networks and Systems Network Virtualization Application Aware Networking Data Security, Content Processing/Billing IPTV, VoD and Mobile Video Digital Rights Management First mile access networks, Passive Optical Networks (PON) Powerline Communications (PLC) Long-Reach Broadband Access Carrier Ethernet Metro Ethernet, PBB, PBT, PBB-TE, T-MPLS MPLS, VPLS, VPNs Optical networks Network architectures and protocol Routing, traffic, services over optical networks Survivability and service level agreements (SLA) Futuristic technologies for emerging economies Equipment provider experiences, planning and future designs Service provider experiences, planning and future designs ITU, OIF, IETF activities

Submissions: Authors are encouraged to submit a three-page extended abstract via EDAS (http://edas.info). Papers will be reviewed for technical content and scope by a technical program committee. All accepted papers would be digitally archived through IEEE Xplore. To achieve wide participation, no author may submit more than 2 papers to the conference. The Industry Session will be organized as a set of panels and will afford a unique opportunity for industry leaders to present their perspectives and share their views on design, development, deployment and regulatory aspects as it pertains to functioning in the global economy. The theme of these panels would be on Realizing converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity. Those interested in proposing/organizing panels should submit their proposals in the form of a one-page summary to the Industry Chair before September 1, 2008. Important Dates:

Paper submissions: July 31, 2008. Notification of authors: October 1, 2008. Registration for authors: October 31, 2008. Symposium dates: December 15-17, 2008.

Some highlights about ANTS 2008 include: - opportunity to interact with industry stalwarts and leading academics. - a world-class technical program - social program, day-long trip through Bombay (Mumbai) city.
