CALL FOR PAPERS
GLOBECOM2000 workshop
Service Portability and Virtual Customer Environments
San Francisco, Dec. 1rst, 2000
WWW: http://welcome.to/SerP
Present day mobile systems focus heavily on the radio access segment,
with very little attention paid to mobility at the applications and
services level.. Similarly, in the Internet arena, the
standardization efforts for mobility support have mostly focussed on
enabling the roaming of a terminal identified by its network address.
With rapid growth in Internet services and mobile hosts, it has
become essential to address new requirements in cases where a
customer is roaming between heterogeneous networks and providers. The
customer should be able to seamlessly roam between terrestrial and
satellite networks, between wireless and wireline networks, between
pure internet or IP/ATM connections, and between home and office.
The main objectives of the workshop are to gather researchers
actively involved in the design, implementation, and development of
mobile customer premises environments/networks, multi-domain
mobility, virtual home environment architectures, and mobility
support architectures and environments for applications such as
multimedia messaging service and real-time gaming, and to provide
them with a forum suitable for identifying and discussing related
issues. The workshop is intended to be a genuinely interactive event
with constructive development and exchange of ideas.
Topics of interests include:
- Mobile Customer Premises Environments/Networks (MCPE/MCPN) and Virtual
Home Environment (VHE) issues
- Architectural issues for mobility support: IP/Internet, GPRS, IMT2000,
UMTS, IN, TINA, OSGi, SIP, H.323..
- Mobility architectures and support for 3G/4G applications
- Intelligent support and customization: agents, middleware, user
profiling..
- Service roaming and interoperability across multi-provider access
networks
- Creation support, customization and management of terminal independent
services
- Scalability and adaptation of user terminal to services and platforms
- Address and naming portability
- Auto-configuration, programmability for micro/macro/multi-domain
mobility..
- Conditional access and authentication
- End to end QoS support including QoS routing
- Security issues
- Service discovery
- Content management and XML based architectures..
