Track 3: New Technologies & Services
The New Technologies & Services
Track will focus on all novel aspects of technology,
applications and services development to help create
pathways for the development of common goals in convergent
networks environments. The purpose of this Track is
to bring together researchers, engineers, and students
from academia and industry, to discuss, to share their
experiences, and to exchange and disseminate expertise
and new ideas on theoretical and practical deployment
aspects of new technologies, next generation networks,
and new trends, architectures and protocols for multimedia
and audio-visual services as well as smart services
(user-centric, personalized, contextualized, etc.).
Over the last three decades the Internet
has undergone massive transformations, migrating from
a relatively focused scientific research network to
a ubiquitous and pervasive communications medium for
the masses. This change has been brought about by
immense research progress in all layers of the network
hierarchy, i.e., ranging from new applications, to
service-aware networking protocols and hardwares allowing
for a host of new research challenges and business
opportunities.
