Scope & Topics -------------- Original technical articles related to IP telephony are solicited. Only papers with significant technical content, not "white papers" or tutorials, will be considered for publication:

- Research papers (unique ideas, novel algorithms, architectures, measurements, theoretical and/or analytical contributions) - Surveys, state-of-the-art studies, technology comparisons - Implementation and deployment reports - Standardization reports

Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Integration with Internet services (e.g., web, instant messaging, games) - Added-value services (e.g., call centers, conferencing) - Mobility and 3rd generation wireless - Authentication, authorization, accounting, charging, settlement - QoS support - Security (e.g., privacy, authentication, certification authorities, firewall traversal) - Call signaling & processing - Feature creation - Supporting services (e.g., call routing, lookup services) - Audio & video encoding and transmission - Management and provisioning - Interworking with the PSTN - Design and deployment considerations (e.g., performance, scalability, reliability)
