Abstract In the evolution of computing we have witnessed
the trend of moving from centralized mainframes to networked, highly
distributed heterogeneous computing devices. At each evolutionary phase in
this timeline - time-sharing mainframes to minicomputers, minicomputers
to personal desktop computers, desktop computers to laptops, laptops to
mobile handsets and PDAs – a new scale challenge has emerged: scaling in
memory capacity, scaling in computational speed, scaling in networking
architecture and protocols, scaling in energy consumption. Such scaling
challenges are not driven only by technology; they are deeply intertwined
with new usage patterns and applications of the computing devices in a
complex feedback cycle of global macrotrends and enabling technologies. Henry Tirri Biography Dr. Henry Tirri is Research Fellow and VP, Head of
Systems Research in the Office of the CTO. Systems Research is the unit
of NRC ( Henry joined Nokia in 2004 as Research Fellow at
Software and Applications Laboratory. He has extensive experience
in running both research activities in the fields of intelligent systems and
networking. Before joining Nokia he was the Head of Henry holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from
University of Helsinki, Henry is the author and co-author of more than 175
academic papers in various fields of Computer Science, Social Sciences and
Statistics. He has five patents. |

Understanding the convergence jungle:

Abstract Next Generation Networks (NGNs) are representing an important
milestone in the evolution of fixed and mobile telecommunication networks
towards an all-IP based multimedia services network environment. Positioned
in the centre of the convergence of telecommunications and the internet, a
major question arising is what kind of future multimedia killer applications
will justify the huge investments to be undertaken for NGN introduction.
Based on the success of the internet under the banner of Web 2.0 the hard
lesson learned by the telecoms industry is, that there won’t be any single
killer application in the future but rather a multitude of the niche
services have to provided to a broadening spectrum of user groups also
called communities. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is supposed as
international standard to provide as a structured over the top (OTT) service
control architecture these kinds of presence-based community communication
and information services. However, the IMS is not standardising how services
have to be developed and provided in an efficient way. The notion of Service
Delivery Platforms (SDPs) is addressing this spectrum of needed
functionalities on top of various network types, including emerging NGN and
IMS infrastructures. This means that SDPs and IMS are considered today as
important platforms on top of NGNs for the efficient implementation of an
open set of multimedia services. Efficiency in this context is enabled by the
concept of reusable service components designed independently of underlying
network technologies, which brings us to the notion of Service oriented
Architectures (SOA) considered today as holy grail for future proof system
design. This talk introduces the main buzzwords of
converging networks and puts them into context by outlining a target SOA
Telco architecture, which is forming the base of the FOKUS Open SOA Telco
playground, an extensible technology testbed for prototyping innovative
multimedia applications on top of converging networks. Application examples,
such as an IMS-enabled Facebook application as well as an IMS-based Community
IPTV service will be shown. Thomas

Biography Thomas Magedanz (PhD) is full professor in the
electrical engineering and computer sciences faculty at the Technische
Universität Since more than 20 years Prof. Magedanz is working
in the convergence field of fixed and mobile telecommunications, the internet

R&D projects centred around Next Generation Service Delivery platforms
based on the aforementioned testbeds. In 2007 Prof. Magedanz joined the
European FIRE (Future Internet Research Environment) Expert Group. In the course of his research activities he
published more than 200 technical papers/articles. In addition, Prof Magedanz

Abstract The convergence of biology and engineering is one of
the fast growing phenomena in IT research currently. The emerging networks, characterized by billions of
simple, inexpensive devices, do not lend themselves to classical networks
optimization and management. To reach efficient operation and
equilibria these networks need to develop effective collaboration strategies
in the absence of central control, autonomously. Inspiration for these systems can be drawn from
biology. Based on autonomic local interactions these novel
models of system design and control are a candidate for providing integrated
communication service environments with the scaling and adaptation
needed to face the constantly changing, growing and unpredictable
user expectations in cost, services and response quality. Imrich Chlamtac Biography Imrich
Chlamtac is the President of CREATE-NET, a non-profit international research
institute and the Honorary Bruno Kessler Professor at the University of
Trento, In his academic life he has held various
chaired professorships in USA and Europe including the Distinguished Chair in
Telecommunications Professorship at the University of Texas at Dallas,
Sackler Professorship at Tel Aviv
University, "University Professorship" at the Budapest University
of Technology and Economics, and Honorary Professorship from the Beijing
University of Posts and Telecommunications. Dr. Chlamtac is the recipient of various
professional award including Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the ACM, Fulbright
Scholar, the ACM Award for Outstanding
Contributions to Research on Mobility and the IEEE Award for Outstanding
Technical Contributions to Wireless Personal Communications. Dr. Chlamtac published over
four hundred refereed journals and conference articles and is listed among
ISI's Highly Cited Researchers in Computer Science. He is the co-author of
several books, including the first book on Local Area Networks (1980) and the
Amazon.com best seller, Wireless and Mobile Network Architectures (John Wiley
and Sons). He has widely contributed to the scientific community as
Chair of ICST Scientific Council, founder and Chair of ACM Sigmobile,
founder and steering committee chair of several leading conferences,
including ACM Mobicom, and various conference in collaboration with
Create-Net, ICST and IEEE including Broadnets, Tridentcom, Securecom, WiOpt

Abstract Behind every
successfully launched mobile value-added service is not only innovative technology
but also a sound business model that incorporates local culture, user
