SCOPE AND MOTIVATION

ICIN addresses the challenges of design, deployment, delivery, and management of services and multimedia applications over different platforms and diverse networks from both technical and business perspectives. The primary focus of ICIN 2012 is voice, data or multimedia services for enterprises or consumers that make use of capabilities in the operator network. These are becoming increasingly important as the telecom industry transforms itself to meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities presented by OTT players and social networks.

REGISTRATION, PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

The Technical Papers track at ICIN 2012 requires the submission of FULL PAPERS (rather than the extended abstracts that were required for previous events).

The Poster/Demonstration track at ICIN 2012 requires the submission of extended abstracts of between 1000 and 1500 words. Extended abstracts should include relevant figures and tables describing results and should indicate how the manuscript will evolve into a final paper.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process. Registration and Paper Submission are through the EDAS system at http://edas.info//N11703. A short (50 word) abstract is requested on registration of the submission. A full paper (or extended abstract for the Poster/Demonstration track) should then be uploaded for review by the ICIN 2012 Technical Programme Committee.

Detailed submission instructions are at http://www.icin.biz/cfp.

To be published in the ICIN 2012 Conference Proceedings published within the IEEE Conference Publications Program and IEEE Xplore, at least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full or member rate and the paper must be presented at the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE-formatted, publication ready version of the paper.
