REGISTRATION: Online Registration - registration is due 5pm Friday 14th August
Telecommunications technologies and Internet services are experiencing unprecedented growth. Technological advances together with the growing scale of deployments are driving rapid change in the telecommunications arena. All these factors contribute to the push towards convergence on the network core. Next generation networks, programmable networks, and the converged core opens up and provides new network architectures and new converged service opportunities.
The Global Network Interconnectivity (GNI) Project was established at the University of Otago in 2006 to develop expertise, provide knowledge sharing and conduct activities supporting new ICT technologies that contribute to telecommunications, multimedia, and information systems convergence.
The GNI Project is proud to bring together academic and industry leaders for a one day symposium to discuss current and future issues relating to convergence in the ICT and Telecommunications arena.
Topics of interest include:
- Next generation networks and LTE convergence
- Evolved Packet Core
- IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
- Applications and services
- WiMAX-LTE
- Architectures and standards for service development and operation, such as JAIN SLEE
- Multimedia telephony and service convergence
- Integration of real-world services and applications within virtual worlds and augmented reality systems
- Convergence of the network core vs. convergence on the application layer
- Next generation web and telecommunications services
Registration is free, but to secure your place at the symposium please register online by 5pm Friday 14th August.
