The 11th IPTComm conference will be held from October 15-17, 2018, Chicago, Illinois, USA . IPTComm brings together researchers from academia, industry and government to discuss challenges, share ideas, results and experiences. The conference addresses current topics related to Cloud-based IP communication architectures, WebRTC-enabled applications, Big Data analytics in IP-based communication networks, Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) systems, Mobility and Ubiquitous computing, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), 5G technologies. IPTComm focuses on the reliability, security, privacy, performance and scalability of real-time communications and data services, as well as on the applicability of these technologies for public-safety applications such as Next Generation 9-1-1.

IPTComm is co-located with Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago. In addition to hosting the IPTComm Research track, the RTC Conference will have tracks related to IoT, WebRTC and CPaaS, Mobile Networks and Applications, and NG9-1-1. The demonstrations and presentations in these tracks will complement the material to be presented in the IPTComm track and serve as a source of new ideas and research partnerships in industry.
