an ITU-T Kaleidoscope event technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society Pune, India, 13 - 15 December 2010 Call for Papers Deadline 30 April 2010 <http://itu-kaleidoscope.org/2010> ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010 Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is the third in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences that bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research. The aim of Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify information and communication technologies (ICTs) for which the development of standards can turn innovations into successful products and services. The rise of mobile access and its integration with optical transport networks pose key questions: how should the current architecture evolve to accommodate fixed-mobile integration and the demand of services and applications, 10-15 years from now? How could the cloud and grid computing models be integrated? And, what will the social and economic impact of these innovations be in the future information society? Some experts question whether the current underlying architecture is sufficiently robust to evolve and adapt to future demands and especially to address security concerns, or if a 'clean slate' approach is needed to develop a really innovative Internet of the future. Contributors seeking to bring innovations for future networks and services might have to challenge the fundamental networking design principles of the Internet. Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is calling for original academic papers offering innovative and daring approaches towards the Internet of the future. Kaleidoscope 2010 aims to be a unique opportunity to share views on the future ubiquitous communications and to collect broad, kaleidoscopic views building upon lessons learnt from existing networks and services. Objectives Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - will highlight multidisciplinary aspects of future ICTs, based on contributions from the world's universities, industry and academic institutions. The focus will be on innovative technologies and their impact on the evolution of Internet architectures, services and applications, as well as societal and economic challenges.

New this year In addition to a local universities exhibition, outstanding keynote speakers and invited papers, ITU will host in 2010 Standards Corner, a series of standardization tutorials and Jules Verne's corner, a special space for science fiction writers and dreamers. Supporters Organized by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) in partnership with STES, GISFI and CMAI, with IEEE ComSoc as Technical Co-Sponsor, and supported by Cisco and Nokia Siemens Networks. Audience Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is targeted at all specialists with a role in the field including researchers, academics, students, engineers, regulators, top decision- makers and thinkers from all over the world who look into the future. Date and venue 13-15 December 2010, Pune, India Submission of papers Prospective authors, from countries that are members of ITU, are invited to submit complete, original papers with a maximum length of 4500 words within eight pages including summary and references, using the template available on the event website. All papers will be reviewed through a double-blind, peer-review process and handled electronically; see http:// itu-kaleidoscope.org/2010 for the online submission (EDAS). The main themes are suggested in the list of topics. The deadlines for paper submission are highlighted below. Deadlines Submission of full paper proposals: 30 April 2010 Notification of paper acceptance: 30 July 2010 Submission of camera-ready accepted papers: 10 September 2010 Publication and presentation Accepted papers will be presented during the event, published in the proceedings and made available through the IEEE Xplore. The best papers will be invited for evaluation for potential publication in the IEEE Communications Magazine. Awards Awards of USD 5k, 3k and 2k will be granted to selected best papers, as judged by the organizing and programme committees. In addition, young authors presenting accepted papers who have not yet received a PhD title will also receive a Young Author Recognition certificate.
