Call For Papers  

Tridentcom 2005:

Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the DEvelopment of NeTworks and
COMmunities

Trento (Italy), February 21 - 25, 2005

Scope

 Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society. The
advancements in the range of network service offerings, their performance,
quality of service, security, and ubiquity are relentless, despite global
economy fluctuations. The demand for high bandwidth network infrastructures
is continuously growing within both academic and industrial sectors.

 Grid computing is one of the many examples of the new emerging paradigm of
networking characterized by huge data traffic flows, that require an
extremely high-performance network infrastructure. The need of high speed is
emerging also in mobile, wireless network environments, where new wireless
technologies promise data rates above 100 Mbps. Other high bandwidth network
examples include community access networks, on demand optical networks and
the Next Generation Internet.

 To meet these challenges, experimental activities on infrastructures, such
as testing, verification, deployment, are pivotal for academic researchers,
developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users. The
management of research infrastructures is increasingly dependent on a
business model that optimizes their operational price/performance ratio. For
example, access to experimental infrastructures for real-life applications
by specific user communities would benefit all the stakeholders involved:
the end users, because of the experimental evaluation of the provided
services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the
knowledge gained from case-study analysis, and the infrastructure managers,
because of the business exploitation of the network.

 The synergies created by opening research infrastructures to real life
users offer all parties involved an enormous development potential, which
needs to be thoroughly investigated and discussed. Tridentcom is the first
event that brings together all aspects related to experimental
telecommunication infrastructures, creating a forum where telecommunication
networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on
past experience, requirements, needs, visions for the establishment of such
infrastructures.

 Research on all aspects of testbed and research infrastructure operation
and management will find in Tridentcom its first forum for focused
discussion. High quality papers reporting on original research and on
experiment results addressing the above areas are solicited for submission.
The main topics of the conference are:

 Next Generation Internet Testbeds
 Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds
 Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds
 Ubiquitous Network Testbeds
 Wireless Sensor Testbeds
 Testbed Operation & Management for User Communities
 Testbed Operation & Management for Research Communities
 Testbed Cooperation & Integration
 Innovative Measurements Methodologies & Tools
 Traffic Measurements Testbeds
 Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds / Virtual Laboratories
 Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data
 Knowledge & Technology Transfer Procedures
 Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds
 Social Impacts of Infrastructures
 Infrastructure Real-Life Applications
 Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting & Planning
 Infrastructure Renting & Pricing Policies
 Vendors & Providers Partnerships

 Best Testbed Award

 A Best Testbed Award will be assigned to the research infrastructure that
will best implement the open infrastructure model, so that to offer the
greatest valuable service to the public, and the most sustainable business
model to the infrastructure managers.
 

 Proposals for Demos

 Proposals for demos are solicited. Demo proposals should consist of:
    1.       title and description of the demo,
    2.       infrastructure requirements,
    3.       biographical sketch of the presenter(s).
 Please submit your proposals to tridentcom2005@create-net.it by September
