While standards and products now support PSTN-equivalent
services for voice, video and text over IP, there are
significant difficulties in deploying attractive,
large-scale, reliable and secure IP telecommunication
systems. On one hand standardization organizations are
currently defining their vision of Next Generation
Networks (NGNs) with sub-systems dedicated to multimedia
(IMS), to IPTV and to PSTN emulation (PES). On the other
hand services that go beyond basic features remain hard
to develop and deploy. VoIP domains almost always
interoperate through the PSTN making peering and
federation concepts far from being a reality.
Interoperability is still an issue when coming to
security, instant messaging and advanced features.
IP-based emergency services are still not mature enough
in terms of location determination and conveyance,
architecture and trials. The aim of the IPTComm
conference is to serve as a platform for researchers from
academia, research labs, industry and government to share
their ideas, views, results and experiences in the field
of IP-based telecommunication with a special focus on
security and services issues. IPTComm will include
presentations of theoretical and experimental
achievements, innovative security systems, prototyping
efforts, case studies, and advancements in
technology.
