                            Call for Papers
    Symposium on Internet Services and Enabling Technologies (ISET)
                      http://iset.internettc.org/
            http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/internet.html
                          in conjunction with
           IEEE Globecom 2006, San Francisco, California, USA
                          Nov 27 - Dec 1, 2006


Scope
-----
Over the past decade, the Internet has revolutionized the way people
communicate and do business, driving the emergence of new and exciting
applications. As the Internet has matured, the focus of innovation is
shifting to the development of new applications and services, and
their enabling technologies.  This symposium is intended to bring
together the academics and industrialists engaged in this field, and
exchange information about advances in the field and speculate about
the future (r)evolution.

The Symposium on Internet Services and Enabling Technologies targets
academic and industrial research activities that are focused on
techniques to improve the delivery of services over the Internet, both
wireline and wireless.  It encompasses the design, implementation, and
management of networked services and applications, as well as
underlying protocols and technologies that enable them, including, for
example, SIP, P2P technologies, network virtualization, and presence
information. Related areas include the high-level architectures and
design frameworks that are used by networking consultants and
designers to develop new Internet services, or manage their
operations.

Of particular interest are original speculations about the future of
Internet services and their enabling technologies, compelling position
papers, and submissions describing promising work in progress.

Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to the
following:
*     Services enabling protocols and protocol extensions (including
       SIP, HTTP, RTSP, RTP, etc.)
*     Peer-to-Peer applications and technologies that leverage/support
       peer-to-peer applications
*     Middleware for new Internet based applications
*     Converged networks and applications (including VoIP and 3G/NGN
       telecom networks)
*     Applications leveraging content networking technologies
*     Application paradigms (e.g. endpoint-hosted vs. network-hosted)
*     Software as a service model for delivering applications on the
       Internet
*     Services over the wireless Internet (including services on
       ad-hoc and sensor networks)
*     Security and privacy management in hosted Internet applications
*     Platforms for rapid creation and deployment of network services
*     Design methodologies for Internet services
*     Systems and architectures for hosting Internet facing services
*     Call center operations and global sourcing of services and
       applications
*     Emergency services
*     Service delivery, service assurance, and root-cause analysis of
       service problems
*     Financial and business tools needed for Internet based services
