Beyond the Internet? - Innovations for future networks and services - is the third in a series
of peer-reviewed academic conferences that aims at increasing the dialogue between experts working
on the standardization of information and communications technologies (ICTs) and academia. By viewing
technologies through a “Kaleidoscope”, these forward looking events also seek to identify new topics
for standardization.
Thus far, the Internet has proven to be robust and flexible and its continuous evolution has seen
growth from a small experiment into a giant collaborative network capable of meeting the demands
of more than one billion users. The rise of mobile access and its integration with optical transport
networks present new challenges. Some experts question whether the current underlying architecture
is sufficiently robust to address future demands or if a “clean slate” approach is needed to develop
a really innovative Internet of the future.
Kaleidoscope 2010 will highlight multidisciplinary aspects of future Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) including future services and applications demand as well as social and economic
impacts. The focus will be on innovative technologies and contributors might have to challenge the
fundamental networking design principles of the Internet.
This academic conference is calling for original papers, from the world’s universities,
industry and academic institutions. Accepted papers will be made available through the IEEE Xplore.
A prize fund totaling $10,000 will be awarded by the three best papers. Young Author Recognition
certificates will be also issued.
