CALL FOR PAPERS
The Computer Journal
Special Issue on Next Generation Networks (NGNs)
A Next Generation Network (NGN) is an advanced, packet-based network that
exploits multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies to provide
telecommunication services. The objective of NGN is to focus on users and
those service-related functions that are independent of underlying
transport-related technologies. With the advent of NGN, services that are
currently provided by multiple specific network-centric architectures are
migrated towards a single, converged, user-centric communication network.
NGN provides AAA (Anytime, Anywhere and Always on) access to users from
different service providers with consistent and ubiquitous provision of
services as necessary. The principles and requirements of Convergence of
Fixed and Mobile Networks (FMC) and IP Multimedia Sub-layer (IMS) are likely
to deliver all the desired benefits of NGN and should be carefully examined
and studied. This special issue is intended to foster state-of-the-art
research in the area of NGN and are expected to focus on all aspects of NGN
and to present novel results and solutions to solve various problems and
challenges foreseen in future NGNs. It will cover the following topical
areas but are not limited to:
* Multimedia applications over NGN
* Convergence of Fixed and Mobile Networks
* IP Multimedia Sub-layer in NGN
* Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) / RFID application over NGN
* Security and services over NGN
* Applications deployment over NGN
* Signaling and control in NGN
* NGN service enablers and platforms
* Emergency and location-based services in NGN
* NGN charging issues, parameters, and models
* Experimental service designs and implementations for NGN
* Interworking, Interconnection, Interoperability Issues of NGN
* Cross layer design for 3G, 4G or NGN
* WiMAX integration into NGN
* Impact of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications on NGN
* IPv6 deployment over NGN
