2018 Principles, Systems and Applicaitons of IP Telecommunications IPTComm

活动简介

The 11th IPTComm conference will be held in Chicago, IL, USA, October 15-18, 2018. 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, 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 and hosted by the IIT Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference, Expo and Hackathon at the Chicago campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). The RTC Conference brings together researchers and educators, standards developers, and technical professionals and executives from the data and telecommunications industry, standards bodies, policy and regulatory institutions in challenging and engaging discussions. The goal of the conference is promoting an open exchange of ideas to lead future development in the rapidly changing field of real-time communications. In addition to hosting the IPTComm Research track, the RTC Conference will have tracks related to Web and Emerging Technologies (WebRTC), Mobility, Cloud, NG9-1-1, and Policy. 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 partners in industry. Conference content will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

IPTComm 2018 is co-sponsored by the IEEE Chicago section. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore.
